Abstract

This study investigates scientific temper among undergraduate students with respect to demographic variables such as gender, stream, caste, family types, and locality. The study included 108 undergraduate students selected by stratified purposive sampling. Primary data were collected using the standardized "Scientific Temper Inventory." The results revealed that most of the undergraduate students possessed above-average scientific tempers. It also revealed that undergraduate students from urban areas and students from joint families had significantly higher scientific tempers. No significant variations were found in the scientific temper of students in terms of gender, stream, religion, or caste.
