Abstract
The exploratory study examines the relationship of Meta-cognitive
thinking and perceived women’s social freedom. The sample comprised
of 150 unmarried working and non working women, their age range is in
between 22 to 45 years and they are at least graduates. Simple random
sampling technique is used to generate data from north-eastern region of
Agra. The results reveal that there is no significant relationship between
total scores of Meta-cognitive thinking (MTS) and women’s social
freedom (WSF) scores as r =.007, where p > 0.05. It is observed that
there is very less difference in the relationship between MTS and WSF
of working and non-working women, the coefficient of correlation is not
significant for both the groups, as r = -.135(Working) and r=.164 (Nonworking),
where p > 0.05 level of significance. Data is also analyzed with
the eight dimensions of meta-cognitive. It is evident from the r value of
self- awareness for working women, that is r = -.228*, where p < 0.05
level of significance. Which means higher the self awareness of working
women, the perception of social freedom will be lower as the relationship
is inverse. Further, the r value on self- motivation and perceived social
freedom of non-working women (r = .239*) is positively significant, where
p < 0.05 level. It indicates higher the self motivation of non-working
women more will be their perception of social freedom being high.
