Abstract

The present study was conducted to know the moral values among the one hundred (50 boys and 50 girls) students from different private schools of Dist; Sri Muktsar Sahib, Punjab (India). The data was collected from their personal/private tuition centers through purposive sampling. The student’s age ranged between 9 to 10 years old. Moral Value Scale (MVS; Gupta and Singh, 2010) was used. Moral Value Scale is standardized. The question were explained and asked from the student. To get maximum good answer, a friendly behaviour was created with them. Results indicated that girls had high moral values than their counter parts. But in overall results, it was found that both boys and girls had very low moral values.
