Abstract

Following a ‘2x2’ factorial design (Religion and Sex) Udai Pareek’s Indian Adaptation of Picture Frustration Study was administrated on a sample (N=200) of school going students (Age: 9-13 years) to observe various types of reactions occasioned by certain frustrating situations to which they are exposed. Boys and Girls showed significant differences on obstacle-dominance and need-persistence, boys being higher on the former and girls on the latter. Whereas Muslim Ss expressed a stronger obstacle-dominance, the Hindu Ss a stronger needpersistence.
