Home environment as a predictor of psychological well being among adolescents

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this study was to explore the relationship between psychological well being and home environment of adolescents in a sample of 260 adolescents from Patiala district of Punjab. The results of a correlation analysis revealed a positively significant relationship of psychological well being with protectiveness, conformity, reward and nurturance dimensions of home environment among adolescents. However, a negatively significant relationship of psychological well being with control and punishment dimensions of home environment among adolescents was observed. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was run to examine the extent to which the various dimensions of home environment contributed to the variability in psychological well being among adolescents. The results indicated that only the conformity, reward and nurturance dimension of home environment were the significant predictors of psychological well being among adolescents. These results of the study have implications for counselors, teachers and parents.
