Predictors of Interpersonal Tolerance among School Children

The present quantitative study was designed to explore the predictors of interpersonal tolerance among school children. The population consisted of children of private and government schools. A sample of (N=330) participants was selected by using a random sampling technique. The data was collected from the participants by using an indigenously developed Interpersonal Tolerance Scale for School Children (ITSSC). Statistical analysis of data was carried out to find the relationships between different demographic variables and interpersonal tolerance. Results indicated that different predictors accounted for variance in interpersonal tolerance among school children. Some variables, including age, school type, residential area and father education, showed significant impact on interpersonal tolerance among children whereas gender, mother education, family system and socioeconomic status were not significant predictors in interpersonal tolerance. Findings contributed to understanding the role of predictors in the formation of interpersonal tolerance among children in a cultural and social context
