The present study examined perceived and actual differences in the perception of mental illness, religiosity and westernization in a selected group of Indian adolescents and their mothers. The total sample comprising 80 male and 80 female adolescents and their mothers were tested on a specially constructed Eastern-Western Mental Illness Scale and a biographical questionnaire. Analyses of the data indicated that mothers have a greater acceptance of mental illness than the youth credit them with. Generally, the adolescents perceive themselves as less religious and more westernized than their parents. The implications of these generational and sex differences were discussed in terms of conflict and change in a transitional society.S. Afr. J. Sociol. 1984, 15(3): 124–128
