520 _aexamine the psychological aspects of cultural orientation among youth. It is a dominant assumption that the college students are the actors in making of the given politico-administrative system. Hence, it becomes pertinent to assess the cultural orientation and to develop a scale for measurement of cultural orientation among youths. For this purpose, a survey of two hundred college students was conducted. An exploratory factor analysis was employed to identify factors of cultural orientations. A principal component analysis was applied on the 34 items with orthogonal rotation on the criteria that Eigenvalue should not be less than 1 and the factor must have acceptable reliability. Four factors such as egocentric, independence, open-minded and self-centred were found reliable and ranged from .60 to .85. Here, it can be safely suggested that possession of the reasonable internal consistency as well as construct reliabilities will be conducive to the good governance. – Reproduced
