Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the effects of level of achievement among high school students on their global as well as different areas of adjustment. A sample of 300 students was selected based on random-cum-purposive sampling from some of the schools of Ranchi town (Jharkhand) and they were divided into two groups namely high and low achievers. Mohsin-Shamshad's Adaptation (Hindi) of Bell Adjustment Inventory was used to measure adjustment. The statistical analyses revealed that the high and low achievers differ significantly in only two areas of adjustment, i.e., health and emotional adjustment. Thus significant differences were not obtained on the dimensions of home and social adjustment as well as global adjustment. This study produced a mixed bag of results regarding the effects of level of achievement on adjustment. Results are discussed in the light of previous studies and suggestions are also given.
