The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of cultural shifts on the perspectives and resulting deviant inclinations of youth aged 15 to 24 enrolled in educational institutions in Himachal Pradesh. This research aims to understand how the changing cultural landscape influences the attitudes, behaviors, and norms of young people, and to identify the factors that contribute to deviations from traditional social norms. Using a multi-stage random sampling technique to select 450 young people for the research population is a sound approach to ensure a representative sample. The result showed that youth with lesser faith in institutions exhibited more deviant tendencies. Also, higher levels of parental education correlated with a greater positive inclination of youth towards modern values. Further, a greater divide between younger and older generations in terms of accepting modernity was associated with increased deviant tendencies among youth. The varying educational backgrounds of parents had the most significant impact on the attitudinal modernity of youth, underscoring the role of education in influencing beliefs and behaviors. This study highlights the intricate relationships between institutional trust, parental education, generational attitudes, and youth behavior. The core findings of this study and their broader implications provide a clear basis for policy recommendations that can serve as a foundation for developing a comprehensive youth policy aimed at fostering true holistic development and provide valuable insights for further research.
