Abstract


A study was conducted on urban and rural PUC students in the age group of 16-18 years who were randomly selected from four science stream coaching institutes of Dharwad taluk and three science stream coaching institutes of Tanakpur taluk respectively. Sample selection included random selection of 10 to 15 per cent students from each class (PUC-I & PUC-II) which consisted of total 592 students out of which 312 students from Dharwad and 280 students from Tanakpur science coaching institutes. PUC students were assessed on identity development, selfconcept and Big Five personality factors by using standardized scale. The results of the present study revealed differential effect of individual and familial factors on identity development of urban and rural PUC students from Dharwad and Tanakpur. A significant association was observed between identity development of Dharwad and Tanakpur PUC students from both urban and rural areas. Majority of Dharwad students (61.25 %) from urban area were in an average level of identity development while, majority from Tanakpur (61.18 %) were in high level of identity development. Among rural PUC students, more than half of Dharwad (51.97 %) and Tanakpur (53.08 %) PUC students were in low and high level of identity development respectively. A significant association was observed between identity development of Dharwad and Tanakpur PUC students from both urban and rural areas.
