The present study was undertaken to assess the contextual traits of juvenile delinquents. The sample comprised of 120 respondents in 16-18 years of age range, selected from observation homes of six districts, from three cultural zones of Punjab. Further the sample was distributed over two sexes i.e. 80 juvenile delinquent boys and 40 juvenile delinquent girls. Scales used to collect the relevant information for the study were: Children’s Perception of Parenting Style (Pyari and Kalra, 2005), Peer Pressure Scale (Saini and Singh, 2012). Data depicts that maximum number of the delinquents belonged to the average level of delinquency. The results revealed that a large number of respondents reported accepting, overprotective and autocratic type of parenting styles. A large proportion of juveniles had shown low level of peer pressure but quite a good number of delinquents had shown medium and high level of peer pressure.Keywords

The present investigation aimed at assessing and comparing the emotional maturity of adolescents from orphanages, single parent families and intact families across gender. Also, the relationship between emotional maturity and adjustment was explored. A sample of 100 adolescents from orphanages and 200 adolescents from government schools (100 from single parent families and 100 from intact families) has been selected through random sampling technique. Emotional Maturity Scale and Bell’s Adjustment Inventory were administered in the present study. Analysis of data revealed that girls belonged to intact families were significantly more emotionally progressed and socially adjusted. In overall emotional maturity also, girls were more emotionally mature when compared with boys. Also, the total emotional maturity of boys from orphanages and intact families was found to be positively correlated with their adjustment. Whereas, adolescents living with single parent families reported negative correlation. Interestingly, the independency of all the adolescent boys irrespective of their family type was found to be negatively correlated with their adjustment. Overall emotional maturity of girls belonging to orphanages was significantly and positively correlated with the adjustment. Furthermore, integrated personality of girls from orphanages and independence of girls belonging to single parent families also found significantly and positively correlated with the adjustment.Keywords
