Abstract

Objective was to study the impact of areas of home environment on psychological wellbeing among adolescents and to study the relationship between areas of home environment and psychological wellbeing among adolescents. The hypothesis states that there is no significant relationship between areas of home environment and psychological wellbeing among adolescents. A sample of 60 adolescents aged between 18-23 was considered for this study. Pearson’s product moment correlation was tabulated to obtain the results. The results showed that the dimension of control, protectiveness, punishment, conformity, social isolation, reward, nurturance, rejection and permissiveness are not related to psychological wellbeing thus accepting the hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship between the areas of home environment and psychological well being. The dimension of deprivation of privileges is related to psychological wellbeing thus rejecting the hypothesis which states that there is no significant relationship between the areas of home environment and psychological well being.
