dc.description.abstractAdolescence is a period of transition between playful childhood and responsible adulthood. It is a stage of physical and psychological human development that generally occur during the period from puberty to legal adulthood. This epoch is most closely associated with the teenage years, though its physical, psychological and cultural expressions may begin earlier and end later. A child is the product of environment. Two environments home and school share an influential space in individual's life and there exists a unique combination between the two. This study examines the influence of academic achievement, home and school environment on the personality and aggressive behaviour of adolescents. The study was conducted in Hisar city of Haryana state where two colleges and two schools were selected. The sample comprised of 160 adolescents (80 girls and 80 boys) taken equally from each institution. Adolescents were assessed for their personality by Big 5 inventory and aggression by aggression questionnaire. The results revealed that there exist difference in personality among university and school students. Significant dissimilarities were observed in home and school environment across type of institution and gender, such as aspects of home like conformity, social isolation and deprivation of privileges and few aspects of school like acceptance, rejection and control. Personality as well as aggression were significantly associated with academic achievement, socio personal variables, home and school environment of adolescents. School students were better adjusted than university students. Moreover boys were significantly more aggressive than girls.en_US
