dc.description.abstractAdolescence is the period of shifts of developing new relationships outside the family, parental support which continues to provide a guideline to self-concept and academic success. Selfconcept is influenced by feelings of success and competence, their abilities, feedback from peers, and how well they compare to the ideals they have for themselves. This research examines the influence of parental encouragement on self-concept and academic achievement of adolescents. The study was conducted in Hisar district of Haryana state where two Government Senior Secondary Schools from rural area and two from urban area were selected. From each of the four selected schools of rural and urban area of Hisar, all boys and girls of 13-15 year were included in final sample. Self prepared questionnaire was used to delineate socio-personal variables and Parental Encouragement Scale (PES) by Sharma (1971) was used for assessing parental encouragement. Academic achievement score of children were obtained from the latest grade sheet of the examinations. Self- Concept of children was judged by Children’s Self –Concept Scale (CSCS) of Ahluwalia (1986). The results revealed that majority of the adolescents had received high level of parental encouragement and there were no gender difference in parental encouragement of adolescents. Parental encouragement had positive and significant correlation with self-concept of adolescents and rural respondents were better in selfconcept level than urban respondents. Academic class, self-concept, paternal occupation and number of siblings came out as significant predictors of the academic achievement of adolescents.en_US
