Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Personality of an individual is highly influenced by his or her home environment. Home environment functions in the framework of the culture. Hence, the present study was conducted to investigate gender differences in the home environment of adolescents in Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand. For the purpose, a sample of 100 adolescents was taken and Home Environment Inventory (HEI) was employed on them. The results revealed significant gender difference on the deprivation of privileges and rejection dimensions of the home environment. Females perceived their home environment to be significantly more deprived of privileges and rejecting than their male counterparts. Cultural variations may be revealed when various states of India will be compared on the perceived home environment. Hence, a further research in this arena is required with large sample size. Keywords: Home environment, gender, perception, adolescents and culture.
