Abstract
The study investigates Adolescents’ introversion and extroversion as a correlates of their social adjustment in schools. Adolescents tend to exhibit unacceptable behaviours which invariably affect their social adjustments and when these problems are not effectively handled, these adolescents end up manifesting deviant behaviours. The study utilized correlation research design to determine the relationship between the adolescents’ introversion and extroversion and their social adjustment. The population of the study was 48,867 junior secondary school adolescents in Edo South Senatorial District of Edo State. The sample for the study consisted of 720 adolescent students’ drawn through multi-stage sampling procedure. Two instruments were used in this study namely; the Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) and Social Adjustment Scale (SAS). The findings from the study revealed amongst others, that there is no significant relationship between adolescents’ introversion and their social adjustment as well as extroversion. Based on the findings of the study, therefore, it was also recommended that school counsellors should provide frequent counselling services for adolescents and information that could improve their social adjustment and the counsellors should also encouraged parents to expose their children especially (adolescents) to sound formal education as well as training them in social norms.
