Relationship between Adjustment Problems and Socio-Economic-Status among B.Ed. Pupil–teachers of Sonipat Region.

Abstract

The term adjustment mostly refers to the degree of capacity by which an individual tries to cope with inner tensions, needs, conflicts, frustration and is simultaneously able to bring a coordination between his inner demands and those imposed by the outer world. A well adjusted B. Ed. Pupil-teacher  is one who does not get affected adversely by the interactions such as conflicts, emotions etc., and whose personality development goes through a healthy course of socialization The aim of the study is to identify the adjustment problems of B.Ed. Pupil-teachers students in relation to socio-economic status. In this study Socio-Economic Status of the students have been included as independent variables. The dependent variable used here is Adjustment Problems of students including Home, Health, Social and Emotional. Taking these factors into consideration the I have used the Indian version of  Bell’s Adjustment Inventory developed by Dr. R. K. Ojha (2005) and Socio-Economic Status Scale (SESS) developed by Professor A.K. Kalia and Mr. Sudhir Sahu (2007). A sample of 200 college students was taken and then 120 were sorted out of them on the basis of gender as the number of female students was more than the number of male students. Thus the final sample of 120 students (60 girls and 60 boys), was taken. For analysis and interpretation Mean, Standard Deviation, Standard Errors of Mean and Coefficient Correlation were calculated. Standard error of mean was used because of the descriptive and inferential nature of the statistics; Coefficient correlation was used to know the relationship between

academic Socio-Economic Status and adjustment problems of students.
