Achievement Motivation, Study Habits and Inferiority among Children of high and low Educated Parents

Parental education provides a robust indicator of parental functioning that predicts child well being across diverse communities. The family in which the child grows up markedly influences the child's attitude and behaviour. The child imitates his parents as a model for adjustment in society. If the parents are well educated, this gives the child good modelling to adjust in school and society. Thus to study the effect of parental education on the achievement, study habits and inferiority of children, 100 children (50 children of high educated parents and 50 children of low educated parents) were taken. The data was subjected to t-test. Findings revealed that children of high educated parents were high in achievement motivation, good in study habits and low on inferiority complex as compared to children of low educated parents.
