Abstract

Cognitive styles are the consistent patterns of organising and processing information. It describes how the individual acquires knowledge (cognition) and processes information (conceptualisation). The present study is an attempt to study the relationship between cognitive styles and scientific attitude among adolescents. The sample comprised 400 adolescents from government and private schools in the four districts of Punjab. The Districts, schools and the adolescents were selected by using a simple random sampling technique. A descriptive survey method was employed. The findings of the study indicate that there is a significant and positive relationship between cognitive styles and scientific attitude among adolescents with respect to gender, locale and type of institution.
