Description |
The present study was conducted in Hisar district of Haryana state. A sample of 45 rural and 45 urban adolescent girls in the age group of 13-18 year age were selected from disorganized families. Data regarding personal and socio-economic variables and parental control practices were collected from parents. Multi dimension Personality Assessment form for Teen (Vohra, 1996) was used to assess personality characteristics of adolescent girls. Results revealed that urban adolescent girls were better in academic achievement, competition, general ability, innovation, leadership, maturity and self sufficiency and were high in tension as compared to rural adolescent girls, whereas, rural girls were bolder and socially warm and were better in mental health. Significant and positive correlations existed between harsh and firm parental control and personality aspects. Findings also revealed that older adolescent girls were more adaptable, bolder, competitive and mature as compared to younger adolescent girls. On the other hand, younger adolescent girls were more enthusiastic and better in mental health than their older counterparts. Results also showed that adolescent girls from nuclear families were better in general ability and individualism and were more mature than their counterparts from joint families. Adolescent girls from joint families were comparatively more adaptable and better in mental health. Adolescent girls from mother headed families were more adaptable, mature and socially warm. Education, occupation and income of the parents were also found to have impact on personality of adolescent girls. More educated parents in service occupation and from high income group had adolescent girls who were better in adaptability, academic achievement, general ability, were more mature, had better mental health and were self-controlled and self sufficient. |
