Abstract

In this research, Faizabad region of state Uttar Pradesh was selected as locales for studying the problem related to sociometric status. This region includes five districts namely-Faizabad, Barabanki, Sultanpur, Ambedkar Nagar and Gonda. Four Schools and hundred children from each district were selected. Hence a total of 500 primary school children were assessed for Association of sociometric status with different personal and socio-economic variables of 6–8 years old children. Result of this study shows that, sociometric is associated with family size, mother's occupation, father's occupation, mother's education, father's education and number of earning members. Whereas six values were not significant, hence null hypothesis for age, sex, birth order, number of siblings, family type and monthly income. These variables were accepted. Hence it may be calculated that sociometric status of 6–8 years old children were independent of their age, sex, birth order, number of siblings, family type and monthly income.
