Journal Title: International Journal of Educational Science and Research (IJESR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Modernization refers to an evolutionary model of transforming traditional society to a modern society. Modernization is the process by which cultures are forced to accept threats from outside, and change their original shape. The present study was carried out in Hisar district of Haryana state. The current study examined attitudes of adolescents towards modernization in a sample of 200 adolescents between the age group of 16-17 years. Comprehensive Modernization Inventory developed by Ahluwalia and Kalia (1998) was used to assess the attitude of adolescents towards modernization. The results of the study pinpointed that urban respondents had more positive attitudes on education, parent child relationship, politics and the status of women aspects of modernization as compared to their counterparts. Mean comparison revealed that urban respondents are more positive towards education (M=28. 47), P-C relationship (M=25. 09) and status of women (M=22. 26) as compared to rural respondents (M=26. 20, M=23. 54 M=20. 91 respectively).
