Geographical environment influences the psychological constructs of a person. In this paper the variations in the Psychological Constructs of B.Ed. Trainees (Regular and ODL mode), namely Attitude, Achievement Motivation and Peer-interaction Motivation with the contrast Geographical Environments of the Plains and the Hills have been investigated. In order to make a comparison, their achievement in B.Ed. Training Programme has also been considered. It has been found that the Trainees of the Hills had a higher level of Attitude towards Teacher Education Programme and Peer-interaction Motivation in comparison with their counter part from the Plains. However, no significant difference was identifiable with respect to other psychological construct, namely Achievement Motivation. Nor, there was any significant difference between the Trainees of the Plains and the Hills with respect to their Achievement in the Training Programme.
