To study identity crisis of adolescents and the impact of the home environment on them

Adolescence and identity crisis is a much discussed phenomena. In Indian culture adolescents stay at home and with parents till or even after they become adults. It is therefore assumed that home environment plays an important role in the life of an adolescent. The present study attempts to explore the relation between home environment and identity crisis of adolescents if any. In the present study, standardized tests were administered to obtain the scores on self image of students (considered as one of the indicator of identity crisis) and scores on different aspects of home environement. Based on the results of the study, it was observed that home environment of the adolescents does not play any significant role on their identity crisis. They are able to cope well with families and live rather comfortably with them and that does not become a causal factor for identity crisis.
