3. INTRODUCTION
Self acceptance is acceptance of self in spite of
deficiencies. According to Sheppard (1979) “self acceptance is
an individual’s satisfaction or happiness with oneself, and is
thought to have a necessary for good mental health”. Self
acceptance involves self understanding a realistic subjective
awareness of one’s strength and weakness. It results in an
individual’s feeling about one self that they are of “unique
worth”.
In clinical psychology and
positive psychology, self acceptance is considered as the pre
requisite for change to occur. That is tolerating oneself to be
imperfect in some parts.

4. INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE TOOL
The tool used is a questionnaire. According to
Bogardus “A questionnaire is a list of the questions sent to a
number of persons to answer”. A questionnaire consists of a
variety of the questions printed or typed in definite order, from
which are mailed further to the respondents. The main function
of the objective of the questionnaire is to collect data from the
respondents, who are generally scattered in a vast diverse data.
Questionnaire is a structural series of written
questions that generally ask respondents to select from a limited
set of possible answers. Questionnaire is a popular tool to gather
data from a large number of people. Questionnaire can be

responses, while other is related to false response. If we are agreeing
with the statement or that is true, encircle the cell below false responses.
Should answer every statement by encircling either cell.

15. CONCLUSION
Here we have seen that most of the pupil have less self
acceptance. It is important to identify specific life styles choices,
habits and character traits that you should happily accept while
also being objective about things you must want to work for
improving.
By doing this work we can understand the self
acceptance of some student teachers. From the study we can
calculate that most of the pupil have less self acceptance and
understand how to improve the acceptance. Our hypothesis is
proved by this work.
