The present study investigated the relationship of epistemological development with age, gender, education and
wisdom. The data were collected from 150 participants through convenient sampling. The sample included 83
men and 67 women in the age range of 17- 55 years with undergraduate, graduate, and post graduate levels of
educational qualification. Epistemological development scheme as proposed by Perry (1968) was taken as the
basis for measuring stages of epistemological development. It was hypothesized that epistemological
development levels will show a significant positive relationship with wisdom, age, educational qualification and
gender. The results indicated significant positive relationship of epistemological development with age,
education and wisdom. Gender showed no inverse relationship with epistemological development levels.
Results of two-way ANOVA also showed significant main effect of gender and educational qualification. Age
however did not yield significant main effect on epistemological development among adolescents (17-21 years),
young adults (22-40 years) and middle aged adults (41-55 years). The results and suggestions are discussed in
the light of existing literature.
