dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted to assess the ‘Effect of Personality Traits on Cyber Crime Awareness of Rural and Urban Adolescents. The study was based on 200 adolescents (i.e. 100 rural and 100 urban) in the age range of 16-18 years. The sample was randomly drawn from four Government Senior Secondary Schools purposively selected from rural as well as urban areas of Ludhiana district. Self structured general information sheet was prepared to collect the general information of the adolescents. ‘Differential Personality Inventory by Singh and Singh and Cyber Crime Awareness Scale by Rajasekhar were used to assess personality traits and cyber crime awareness of the respondents respectively. Results revealed significant differences in personality traits of the respondents. Boys were scoring better than their female counterparts in majority of the traits as well as in overall personality. Significant locale differences existed between hetero sexuality in rural and urban boys and girls. In cyber crime awareness gender differences were found to be significant among rural boys and girls whereas non-significant differences were seen among urban boys and girls. Non-significant locale differences existed between rural and urban adolescents. Masculinity, responsibility, dominance, decisiveness, curiosity, hetero sexuality, ego strength, friendliness and overall personality traits had made a positive and significant contribution towards cyber crime awareness of the adolescents. In demographic variables parents’ education, family members and presence of male sibling were having a significant and positive relationship with the personality and cyber crime awareness. | en_US |
