An attempt is made to view Home Environment of adolescents of India from the perspective of Self Determination theory (SDT) which is a need based theory. Psychological need satisfaction of adolescents in the backdrop of their Home Environment is a rarely attempted topic of investigation in Indian research scenario. The postulates and assumptions of SDT seem to be very much appropriate for Indian parenting contexts in this era of globalization and consequent cultural intermixing. It is high time that empirically supported facts of SDT is to be tried and tested in eastern cultures where collectivism is gradually losing its hold on interpersonal relationships and replaced by individualism and personal autonomy. Review of studies of past dealing with the environmental correlates of adolescent well-being asserts the ineluctable role of environment as the cardinal agency for adolescents' basic psychological need satisfaction. In the analysis of data collected from the adolescents of 69 Indian families, significant association was observed between various dimensions of Home environment and the three basic psychological needs of SDT. Study concludes that "autonomy supportive" environment and "autonomy supportive" parenting should be introduced in research as well as practice in India.Keywords

The study was an attempt to chalk out the nature of differences in the educational involvement of parents of students belonging to different educational institutions of Kerala state. Three types of educational institutions namey, goverment, aided and private were considered for analysis. Data was collected from 261 adolescents from various higher secondary schools of Thrissur district of Kerala state. Parental involvement scale (Clinton & Hattie, 2013); Home Work Involvement Scale (Nunez et al., 2015); and Percieved Parental Autonomy Support Scale (Mageau, 2015) were used to collect the necessary data. Differences in the nature of involvement among the parents of three types of schools were calculated using ANOVA. SPSSver.23 was used for the statistical analysis. The results revealed that parents of private institutions practiced better educational involvement compared to their counterparts in aided and government institutions. Though socio-economic status of parents of private school students were comparatively higher, it need not be the only reason behind the better involvement in the academic life of their wards. The role played by school's interest in the parental participation and the related school policy might have contributed to the differences noticed under study. So study raises the need for exploring into the situtaion and formulating effective parental involvement policy in the schools.Keywords
