Present study assessed the difference in the temperament of adolescents being brought up in foster home and biological nuclear families. SOS Children's Village was the purposively selected foster home for the present study. The sample for the present study comprised of forty five (45) 14-18 year old adolescents from SOS Bhimtal and an equivalent number of respondents from biological nuclear families of Bhimtal itself, thus, making a total of 90 respondents for the present study. Temperament of the adolescents was assessed by administering Dimensions of Temperament Scale by Chadha and Chandan (2005). Results revealed that boys, irrespective of their type of family, were significantly more aggressive and impulsive than their counterparts whereas, girls from both the families were significantly more warm and tolerant than the boys. Comparison of temperament of respondents across their type of family revealed that respondents from foster home were significantly more secretive, responsible, tolerant and tough-minded than their counterparts. On the other hand, respondents from the biological nuclear families were significantly more placid, sociable, reflective and cooperative than those being brought up in the foster home.Keywords

The present study was undertaken to assess the guidence needs of senior secondary school adolescents of Imphal district, Manipur across their family income. For the present study, 30 schools were randomly drawn from a total of 60 schools situated in Imphal East and Imphal West. From the selected schools, 25 per cent of the total adolescents studying in its standard XI were randomly selected as respondents making a total of 651 respondents. The total sample consisted of 272 boys and 379 girls. Selfstructured performa and Guidance Needs Inventory developed by Grewal (1982) were used for the present study. Results revealed that respondents irrespective of their family income exhibited extreme need for guidence in physical, educational and vocational guidence. Least need was exhibited for psychological guidence. Respondents hailing from middle and high class families placed vocational guidence needs on top priority followed by their educational guidence needs. In contrast, among those from low class families, educational guidence needs were rated first and then vocational guidence needs. Interestingly, psychological guidence needs is the last preferred need among the respondents from all the categories. Family income had no significant influence on the guidence needs of respondents and the latter was found to be independent of family income.Keywords

The present research study was aimed at assessing and comparing the type and level of coping strategies among the parents of 150 intellectually disabled children, who were selected from 3 RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) recognized special schools of Delhi across child’s degree of intellectual disability. Sample was drawn randomly in equal proportions from three categories of intellectual disability namely mild, moderate and severe. The coping strategies of parents were assessed using Family Interview for Stress and Coping in Mental Retardation (Section-II) developed by NIMHANS. The findings of the present study revealed that parents having children with severe intellectual disability had low expectations, more negative attitudes towards child management and rearing practices as compare to parents with mildly and moderately disabled children. Coping strategies among these components were decreasing with the severity of child’s intellectual disability. Overall it was observed that families of mildly challenged children were comparatively better coped up.Keywords

The present research study was carried out to explore and compare the level of social and emotional maturity of adolescents across occupation of fathers. The sample was comprised of randomly selected 277 students studying in class XI at Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. Social Maturity Scale by Rao (1986), Emotional Maturity Scale by Singh and Bharagava (2006) and a self-designed questionnaire were employed to collect data. The result of the study highlighted the significant influence of fathers’ occupation on social and emotional maturity of adolescents. Adolescents of class 1 and class 2 service holders were identified to possess significantly higher level of social and emotional maturity than those of class 3 and class 4 service holders. The findings revealed the importance of father’s occupation in one’s life as adolescents of higher service class were found significantly more personally, inter-personally and socially adequate; emotionally stable and progressive; socially adjusted and independent than their counterparts. Hence, the study suggests that occupational level of father plays an authoritative role in grooming the maturity of an adolescent.Keywords

The present study assessed and compared the type and level of coping stress by the parents of 150 mentally challenged children. The sample for the present study comprised of mothers and fathers of 150 mentally challenged children drawn randomly in equal proportions from two social classes under study viz. LIG and MIG across the three levels of mental retardation. The type and levels of coping stress by parents were assessed using Family Interview for Stress and Coping in Mental Retardation (Part II) developed by NIMHANS. The study revealed that social class had an impact on the level of coping. MIG mothers and fathers were observed to be better coped up. They were found to be more aware regarding child’s condition, adopting better child rearing practices and also had more expectations and better attitudes towards the child’s condition. Interestingly, the predominant reason was better educational level and financial status of MIG families as compared to the LIG.Keywords
