Author(s): Dr. SP Singh

Abstract: The current research attempts to study the repressed needs among children of joint females and nuclear females. It was hypothesized that children of joint females will differ significantly from the children of nuclear females in their repressed needs.

A sample of 80 children of joint females and 80 children of nuclear females was selected.

These two categories of children are different in characteristics like Fear, Anxiety, Regression, Control, being jealousy. While children of joint and nuclear families showed no significant difference in defense mechanisms and on the total score of CAT. Hence the hypotheses were partially confirmed
