- Abstract
A group of 30 children from single parent families were compared to 30 children from intact families to see whether the former would show any difference with the later in terms of General Well being, and Level of Aggression particularly taking the tribal population of Tripura state into consideration. The present study attempts to synthesize and evaluate the mere presence of both the parents which might play an effective role in the development of General Well Being. Standardized Psychological Tests (Questionnaires) were administered following standard procedures given by the respective test devices. Results showed that as expected the children belonging to single parent families differ significantly in terms of their General Well being, and Level of Aggression when compared to the children from the intact families. And the children from the single parent families are having a very higher level of aggression which may contribute to their poor level of general wellbeing.
