Abstract

The present study was conducted to examine empirically the main and interactive effect of Gender, Locality and Academic Stream of adolescents on attitude towards private tuition. A sample of 80 adolescents was selected randomly from Senior Secondary Schools of Rohtak City of Haryana. Students were administered a twenty item locally prepared questionnaire to assess attitude towards private tuition. Since all the three independent variables namely gender (male and female), locality (urban and rural) and academic stream (science and arts) are dichotomous in nature, 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design was employed to analyse the data. The findings suggested that the main effect of locality was found to be associated with attitude towards tuition. Two-Way and Three-Way interactions were found non significant indicating that all the independent variables operated independently.
