Abstract
India being a patriarchal society since time immemorial, though from the past few years drastic positivechanges have occurred, which has lifted them from their dreadful condition. However we must also be aware that these women are only a small population and cannot be considered to tell the entire reality. Because still there are women who are bound by strict rules which oppresses them in ways unimaginable. Adolescence is a period where attitudes are fixed at this age and it will be carried in the future. They are more close towards their peers and very directly exposed to the society at this transition period of forming Self-Identity, that‟s why even the generally outspoken attitude about women, how people in their surrounding hold a view towards women makes a lot of differences in their opinion about women as well. The current study was undertaken to understand the Attitude towards women among college going late adolescents. The total sample consisted of 60 participants (30 male and female late adolescents each) between the ages of 16-18 years. Purposive sampling method was used and the sample was drawn from the state of Karnataka. Short version of „The Attitude towards women‟ Scale by Spence, Helmrich and Stapp (1978) was used to assess the Attitude towards women. The data was analysed using independent samples t –test and it shows that there is a significant difference among college going late adolescents in their attitude towards women and that female participants showed higher egalitarian attitude towards women compared to male participants.
