The population of the study includes higher secondary students in Namakkal district. For the present study stratified random sampling method
was used. The sample for the study consisted of 300 second-year higher secondary students drawn from six selected schools using stratified
random sampling technique. To investigate the levels of scientific temperament and happiness, the Scientific Temperament Inventory and the
Happiness Scale were administered to the selected sample. The research indicates that there is a significant difference in scientific
temperament between higher secondary students based on gender. The mean scientific temperament score of higher secondary girls (93.52)
