It is felt that there is a need to understand the minds of these young people, to analyze the dynamics of their behavior, to help them to grapple with their ever changing life styles so that a correct appreciation of their potential, promise and problem could be made. For the present study Hisar city of Haryana state was purposively selected. I.C.College of Home Science (COHS) and College of Agriculture (COA) from CCS HAU Hisar were purposively selected. Out of the total adolescents admitted in first year 25 each from both the colleges were randomly selected. Two Govt. Schools, one each admitting males, Govt. Senior Secondary School (GSSS) and females, Govt. Girls Senior Secondary School (GGSSS) were randomly selected, further randomly selecting 25 students, each from both the selected schools.
