Abstract

Career aspiration is the strong desire or goal to have a good career. Career aspiration refers to simply the goals that set out to achieve in either one’s current profession or one’s desired profession. An interpersonal relationship is an association between the two or more people that may range from fleeting to enduring. This association may be based on inference, love, solidarity, regular business interactions, or some other types of social commitment. The aim of the present investigation is to study career aspiration vis-à-vis interpersonal relationship of single and in-a-relationship students. Accordingly, a group of 60 single (30 male and 30 female) and 60 in-a-relationship (30 male and 30 female) students of 18 to 22 years age were selected as sample in this investigation. A General Information Schedule, Career Aspiration Scale, FIRO-B were used as tools. Findings revealed that single and in-a-relationship students differ among themselves in terms of career aspiration and interpersonal relationship. It may be helpful for the teachers, school counselors, career counselors to implement the findings by providing interpersonal skills development training programme in schools and colleges regarding career aspiration among the students. Key words: Career Aspiration, Interpersonal Relationship, Single and In-a-Relationship Students
