Abstract
Social attitudes and behaviors of the students offer an early glimpse of what tomorrow holds for a country. Socially
liberal and educated youth can contribute in reforming the social and cultural norms of the nation. Assessment of
social liberalization of students is one of the key issues that needs special attention by the social science researchers.
A cross sectional survey was conducted among three central universities of India to assess the levels and associated
factors of social liberalization among research scholars. An 18 item social liberalization scale was used and
exploratory factor analysis was carried out to create the social liberalization index. Results from bi-variate cross
tabulations and multivariable ordered logistic regressions indicate that students affiliated with Jawahar Lal Nehru
university are found to be most liberal among the three universities. Sex, urban dwelling, father’s death and
importance of religion are found to be the significant predictors of social liberalization among students.
