Indian society is deeply affected by globalization and modernization. It has been gradually transforming from a traditional society into a modern technological one. The awareness and ambitions of the youth have increased. Their modified lifestyles is reflected in the changed attitudes, views, values, pattern of social relations, consumption, entertainment, dressing style and habits. The complex process of modernization has also instilled varied degrees of rational belief and scientific outlook in them. Their general level of tolerance of views of others and their attitude towards participation in social and political activities seems to have changed. This study explores the relationship between modernization level and lifestyle of B.Ed. girl students using a Comprehensive Modernization Inventory (CMI) and a Lifestyle Inventory (LI). Since education is the main dynamic force that steers modernization by changing one's traditional thinking, acting, habits, attitude and values, we first explore the relationship between the lifestyle as captured by the multi-dimensional lifestyle scale and overall modernization level. Then we specifically choose the Academic Oriented Lifestyle sub-scale for further analysis to check if it separately shows any significant correlation with modernization. The aim is to investigate the relationship between overall modernization level and the academic orientation of the students.
