Abstract :This study investigates the relationship between study habits and family environment among primary school students of 8 JP (Zilla Parishad) School in Pune district. Using a sample of 120 students (74 female, 46 male), the study employed PSSHI to measure study habits and the Bhatia & Chadha FES to assess family environment. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and Pearson’s correlation. The results (hypothetical values — to be replaced with actual data) indicated a significant positive correlation (e.g., r ≈ 0.58, p < .01) between family environment and study habits. Female students displayed marginally higher mean scores on study habits. Findings suggest that a supportive family environment plays a crucial role in fostering effective study habits among primary school students. Implications for parental involvement and educational interventions are discussed.
