H. Ojha & R.R. Singh |
The
relationship of marriage-role attitude with two personality factors
viz, dependence proneness and security-insecurity was discovered
in 100 male and 100 female postgraduate students of faculty of social
sciences of Bhagalpur University, India. The instruments used were
Hindi version of Jacobson's Marriage Role Attitude Scale, Sinha's
Dependence Proneness Scale and Hindi adaptation of Maslow's Security-Insecurity
Inventory. The findings indicated that marriage role attitude is
negatively and significantly associated with dependence proneness
in both male and female subjects. No significant relationship was
observed between marriage role attitude and insecurity. The results
also revealed that male Ss as compared to female Ss, urban Ss as
compared to rural Ss, and Ss from nuclear families as compared to
those from joint families, obtained significantly higher M-R scores
indicating their preference for equalitarian marital role.
