Abstract :

Only we know who we are what we have intended to do and actually done, with we have thought and felt, and what we have hoped for. Our “self” is a life long accumulation of impressions. How we see and evaluate our “selves” and other selves has a tremendous impact on self–acceptance, self–control and acceptance of others. The main objective of the present study is to study the influence of caste, academic achievement on the self concepts of intermediate students. Self concepts questionnaire developed by Mukta Rani Rastogi (1974) was adopted. A sample of 320 Intermediate students representing all categories of intermediate colleges in Y.S.R. District by following the standardized procedures. ‘t’ – test and ANOVA (‘F’ – test) were employed for analysis of the data. There is significant influence of caste and academic achievement at 0.01 level of significance on the self concepts of intermediate students.
