Description
This book chapter presents a comparative study investigating the adjustment problems of higher secondary school students in the East Siang District of Arunachal Pradesh, focusing specifically on male and female students. The research examines individual adjustment across three primary areas: emotional, social, and educational. Grounded in biological, statistical, and cultural perspectives, the text reviews prior literature regarding gender differences in adolescent adaptation, highlighting inconsistent findings from previous research. To evaluate student adjustment, the study utilizes the Adjustment Inventory for School Students, assessing a sample of government school students. The objectives include analyzing overall adjustment levels and comparing male and female students within emotional, social, and educational domains to determine if significant differences exist. By addressing specific variables such as fear, anger, shyness, and academic difficulties, the work provides empirical insights into the developmental challenges faced by adolescents in this region.
