Description The present study was undertaken in Hisar district of Haryana state. Five senior secondary
schools of Hisar city and three higher/senior secondary schools of Kaimari, Mangali and Gangwa
villages of Hisar I block were selected as per the demand of study. A sample of 45 rural and 45 urban
respondents of 13-18 year age were taken, thus to make a total sample of 90 adolescents. Their parents
also participated in study. Multi dimensional Assessment of Personality form for adults and teenagers,
developed by Vohra, S. in 1993, 1996 was used to assess the personality of parents and adolescents.
The finding revealed significant differences in boldness(Z=5.46*), general ability(Z=2.57*), guilt
proneness(Z=2.52*), leadership(Z=5.90*), mental health(Z=1.81*), sensitivity(Z=2.50*),self
sufficiency(Z=4.74*), social warmth(Z=2.46*) and tension level(Z=2.55*) of rural and urban
respondents.
Significant correlation existed between parental personality aspects and adolescent’s
personality aspects. Adolescent’s adaptability, boldness, general ability, guilt proneness, innovation,
leadership, maturity, self control, self sufficiency and tension had significant positive correlation with
adaptability, boldness, general ability, guilt proneness, innovation, leadership, maturity, self control,
self sufficiency and tension level of their parents. Whereas there was a significant negative correlation
was observed between adolescent’s enthusiasm and parent’s tension, adolescent’s innovation and
parent’s excitability, adolescent’s maturity and parent’s tension.
Results further revealed significant association between age and enthusiasm level of the
respondent. Economic status of family had significant effect on adolescent’s general ability, guilt
proneness, leadership, mental health, self control and social warmth. Social variables viz. caste, family
type, family size, parental sex and parental education were significantly associated with enthusiasm,
general ability, guilt proneness, individualism, leadership, maturity, mental health, self control, self
sufficiency and tension level of adolescents.
