Front Benchers, Back Benchers, Self-Concept and Level of AspirationAbstract
A significant part of child's life is spent in school and with peers. Unfavorable self-concept undermines the child's self-confidence. All behaviours are governed by the self-concept. Self– concept and group also influence the goal-setting behaviour of students. By success in achieving goals, the students win approval and acceptance of group whereas by failures in achieving goals, they suffer inferiority complex and isolation in the group. This isolation and inferiority complex stems from large discrepancies between a Back-Benchers level of achievement and his level of aspiration. The main objective of this study is collecting the facts about the self-concept and the level of aspiration of the Front Benchers and Back Benchers. The sample of this research work consists of 100 secondary level students studying in various secondary and higher secondary schools of Kanpur City. For data collection, Swatva Both Parikshan by Sherry, Verma & Goswami and Level of Aspiration Measure by Mahesh Bhargava & M.A. Shah were used. The data were treated by t-test. Through analysis and interpretation of data, regarding the Selfconcept, the Front Benchers were found having good Self-concept while the Back Benchers were found having average Self-concept. Regarding the Level of Aspiration, the Front Benchers were found having level of inspiration high while the level of aspiration of the Back Benchers of average level. The significant differences were found between the Self-concept of the Front Benchers and the Back Benchers as well as the Level of Aspiration.
