The relation among the personality factors with the party of leaders, age of the leaders and level of the leaders are the neglected field of social psychology in India. Therefore, the study will try to provide evidence for the postulates that anxiety, insecurity, hostility and attitudes are affected by political ideology, age and level of leadership. The present study provides sufficient evidence for the role of political ideology and age of the leaders, either they belong to district or state level. In the present study it was found that the central party of Bihar was more anxious than the other parties. Similarly it is obvious that centralist party of Assam were more anxious than the rightist and leftist party. But when we compare the anxiety scores of the leaders of Bihar and Assam it was found that it all the three parties, the Bihari leaders were more anxious than their counter part. The findings of the study constitute an addition to the existing scientific knowledge about anxiety, insecurity, hostility and attitudes. It is hoped that it would be fruitful for the researchers who are interested in doing research in this area.
