Abstract

The present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between optimistic-pessimistic attitude and religious values of prospective teachers. The sample of the study comprised of 100 prospective teachers selected randomly from Government College of Education Sector-20, Chandigarh. Optimistic-Pessimistic attitude scale developed by Pareshar (1998) was used to assess optimistic-pessimistic attitude of prospective teachers and Religiosity scale by Bhushan (2005) was used to assess their religious values. The findings of the study revealed that there was variation in the optimistic-pessimistic attitude and religious values of prospective teachers. Also there was no significant correlation between optimistic-pessimistic attitude and religious values of prospective teachers.
