The present study is an attempt to find out the relationship of certain socio-psychological variables with the truant behaviour. The sample for conducting the present study included 100 students in class 9th, which include 50 truants and 50 non-truants. Two tools were selected by the researcher namely Dr. S. Jalota and Sharma for general mental ability( 1972) and school satisfaction by Dr. Meenakshi Sharma (1991). T- Test was used to find out relationship. The results reveals that habitual truants and regulars do not differ significantly on the variable of school satisfaction possess lower non-verbal intelligence. The higher level of processors towards truancy among boys may be explained considering the fact that boys have lesser social inhibitions, more parental freedom and less home responsibilities.
