| dc.description.abstract | The present study entitled "Vision of morality among youth in Punjab and Tamil Nadu: individual and contextual influence" was undertaken to assess and compare the vision of morality among youth in everyday life in both states. The influence & interplay between individual attributes like personality and personal values and contextual features like socio economic status, family environment and parent & peer attachments on vision of morality was also examined. The sample comprised of 300 young adults, 150 Punjab (75 females and 75 males), 150 Tamil Nadu (75 females and 75 males) aged between 18-20 years studying in Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana and Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The results revealed that the mean scores of vision of morality dimensions showed significant differences among youth in both the settings. A significant difference in agreeableness character of personality showed at medium and high level in both the states was observed. However, in the case of openness, significant differences were found only at high level. The mean scores for extraversion, agreeableness and openness showed significant differences in youth of both the states. Personal values (religious, social, democratic, aesthetic, economic, power) revealed significant differences in youth of Punjab and Tamil Nadu. The mean scores for personal values such as democratic knowledge and power showed significant differences in Punjab and Tamil Nadu youth. All the characters and their mean scores in measures of socio-economic status (except profession), divisions of family environment and parent & peer attachments were found to be significantly different for both the settings. Overall, the study concluded that, Punjab youth has better vision of morality, individual attributes and contextual features. | en_US |
