Abstract
Quality research, in one way or the other, depends upon the research attitudes of the researchers involved in the process. But, male and female researchers’ may have different attitudes about research. The present study focuses upon the determination and comparison research attitudes of male and female MS/MPhil level students. Randomly selected 218 male and female students from public and private sector universities were delivered students’ research attitude scale developed by Papanastasiou, (2005). Analysis of data revealed that significant difference exists between research attitudes of male and female students. Male students possessed relatively more positive research attitude as compared to that of the females. Moreover, in public sector universities difference was found in the research attitudes of male and female students but it did not exist in the private universities.
