Abstract:

Psycho-social wellbeing infers psychological wellbeing and social wellbeing of an individual and whenever an individual is able to control his emotions or handle them in proper way then it is called as emotional adjustment. Psychosocial wellbeing and emotional adjustment of an adolescent brings a proper and positive direction to foster in life. The present study has been carried out to explore the level of psycho-social wellbeing and emotional adjustment level of adolescents on the basis of gender. The study also attempts to find out the relationship between psycho-social wellbeing and emotional aspect. Descriptive study was conducted among 115 adolescents (61 boys and 54 girls) who were selected by using proportionate stratified random sampling technique. For this purpose, 7 high schools were selected by simple random sampling technique. For the assessment of the psycho-social wellbeing and emotional adjustment, Wellbeing Index developed by prof. (Dr.)  Vijayalaxmi Chouhan and Dr. Varsha Sharma (2016) and Adjustment Inventory for School Students developed by A.K.P. Sinha and R.P. Singh (revised 2017) has been used. Data was analyzed by using t-test and Pearson’s Product Moment Method. The study revealed that majority of students belong to the average level of psycho-social wellbeing and emotional adjustment level. There is a significant difference between adolescent boys and girls regarding the level of psycho-social wellbeing. But there exists no difference in the level of emotional adjustment.
