Abstract

India has had remarkable growth in every sector throughout the preceding years, leading to significant advancements. The nation’s metropolis is flourishing, companies are expanding, and the middle class is economically improving a lot. Despite these developments, India is still one of the most vulnerable nations, with significant gender gaps and disparities. The researcher aims to investigate how senior secondary school pupils perceive gender roles with regard to their social maturity. The study’s main objective was to look into how gender role attitudes and social maturity related to gender, region, educational stream, and affiliation of institution. Senior secondary school students from the Bangalore metropolitan area make up the intended demographic. This attempt makes use of the disproportionate stratified random sampling technique. The two hundred and eleven participants provided primary data using the standardised gender role attitude questionnaire and the standardised social maturity scale. After compiling the data, statistical analysis was carried out. The results showed that attitudes towards gender roles and social maturity were positively correlated. Alongside, at the 0.05 level, other outcome factors found statistically significant. The interrelated nature of social and emotional development implies that improving one area enhances the other hence efforts should be made to provide equal opportunity for both genders, allowing teenagers to complete their society commitments regardless of gender.
