ntergenerational
Attitudes: A Psychological Analysis
R.C. Mishra & B.B. Tiwari |
Using
a questionnaire, the attitude of 140 young and 100 old subjects of
different educational level and environmental background was studied
toward the issues of marriage, family-structure and traditionalism.
Results provided support for attitudinal difference along intergenerational
line. Level of education and environmental background of the subjects
were also found to produce differences in attitudes. Generational
differences appeared to be wider in urban samples than rural. The
groups, in general, tended to show more attitudinal disparity on
the issue of marriage than on family-structure and traditionalism
but over all, the situation was not tensional.
