Abstract
Adjustment refers to the behavioral process of balancing conflicting needs, or needs challenged by obstacles in the environment. It helps a person to maintain balance among various needs that one encounters at a given point of time. In our study we compared the adjustment among college going males and females. Saxena adjustment inventory was measurement of adjustment in the present investigation. Various dimensions of adjustment like home, education, social and emotional were studied. Though females were found to be better adjusted in all dimensions of adjustment but this finding did not receive statistical significance. However, the study was limited in terms of area of investigation, subject cases etc.
