Abstract :

The present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between metacognition, self-confidence and family environment of 10+1 students. The sample of the present study consisted of 800 students selected randomly from four districts of Haryana (India). Metacognition Inventory by Govil (2003), Self-confidence inventory by Agnihotri (1987) and Family Environment scale by Bhatia and Chadha (1993) were used. The findings indicate that there exists significant and positive relationship between metacognition, family environment and dimensions of family environment. On the other hand, significant but negative correlation between self-confidence and metacognition; self- confidence, family environment and dimensions of family environment is found.
