In the present study an attempt has been made to find out the predictive efficiency of parental attitude (separately for mother and father) for intelligence of secondary school students (further separately for boys and girls). In order to ensure wider applicability of findings, the total sample of 1000 students (both boys and girls) of IX class was drawn randomly from government as well as privately managed recognized secondary schools from 4 districts i.e. Amritsar, Ludhiana, Bathinda and Jalandhar, which prepared the students for eighth class annual examination conducted by Punjab School Education Board. Once the students sample was finalized data regarding parental attitude was collected from the parents, separately from mother and father of both the boys and girls. Results of the study revealed that certain scales of parental attitude (separately for mother and father) predict intelligence significantly. The present study is a novel attempt in studying the predictive efficiency of various scales of parental attitude (separately for mother and father) on intelligence.

Abstract


In the present study an attempt has been made to find out the predictive efficiency of parental attitude (separately for mother and father) for intelligence of secondary school students (further separately for boys and girls). In order to ensure wider applicability of findings, the total sample of 1000 students (both boys and girls) of IX class was drawn randomly from government as well as privately managed recognized secondary schools from 4 districts i.e. Amritsar, Ludhiana, Bathinda and Jalandhar, which prepared the students for eighth class annual examination conducted by Punjab School Education Board. Once the students sample was finalized data regarding parental attitude was collected from the parents, separately from mother and father of both the boys and girls. Results of the study revealed that certain scales of parental attitude (separately for mother and father) predict intelligence significantly. The present study is a novel attempt in studying the predictive efficiency of various scales of parental attitude (separately for mother and father) on intelligence.
