Behaviour pattern is a recurrent way of acting by an individual or group toward a given object or in a given situation. In psychology, Human behaviour can be common, unusual, acceptable or unacceptable. Humans evaluate the acceptability of behavior using social norms and regulate behavior by means of social control. The basic aim of present investigation is to study the difference in Type A/B behavioural pattern among adolescent boys and girls living in India and abroad. The Type A persons have a highly competitive desire for achievement, recognition, speak fast, act fast, see goals and challenges everywhere. The Type B persons are more relaxed, cool, calm, satisfied and easy going. For this purpose, the adolescent population (13 years -18 years) was selected through simple random sampling which consisted of 50 Indian adolescents and 50 adolescents from different cultures living abroad. The research tool used was Type A/B Behavioural Pattern Scale by Dhar and Jain. The data was analysed by mean, SD and t-test. The results revealed the difference between Type A/B behavioural pattern among Indians and adolescents living abroad.Keywords
