The present study was undertaken in Hisar district of Haryana state. Five senior secondary
schools of Hisar city and three higher/senior secondary schools of Kaimari, Mangali and Gangwa
villages of Hisar I block were selected as per the demand of study. A sample of 45 rural and 45 urban
respondents of 13-18 year age were taken, thus to make a total sample of 90 adolescents. Their parents
also participated in study. Multi dimensional Assessment of Personality form for adults and teenagers,

leadership, maturity, self control, self sufficiency and tension had significant positive correlation with
adaptability, boldness, general ability, guilt proneness, innovation, leadership, maturity, self control,
