Exploring Social Preferences: A Study of Liking People Levels in College Students in Bengaluru

Abstract

This study examines the levels of social interaction and relationship preferences among college students utilizing an online questionnaire format. The research sample comprises 100 college students from various academic disciplines. Employing a descriptive research design, data collection involves self-reported responses to an online questionnaire, specifically the Liking People Scale (Rubin, 1970). This scale is designed to assess individuals’ affinity for social interactions and relationships. Through analysis, the study aims to ascertain the extent of social engagement and relationship inclination among college students. The findings provide valuable insights into the social dynamics within the college environment, shedding light on students’ preferences and behaviors in social interactions. Understanding these preferences can inform the development of strategies and interventions aimed at fostering positive social connections and enhancing overall student well-being in academic settings.
