IMPACT OF HOME ENVIRONMENT ON THE ADJUSTMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

The study focused on home environment and its impact on the adjustment of secondary school
students. Present study was conducted on 200 rural and urban students of class 10th of four schools of Tarn
Taran city. Data was analysed by using 't-test' and 2 way ANOVA. Results showed that urban secondary
school students have better home environment and they have better adjustment as compared to their
counterparts. Moreover, findings of the research reveals that boys and girls of urban areas have the same
home environment and therefore both of them have same adjustment patterns but girls of rural areas got
better home environment so they are better adjusted as compared to the boys of rural areas. Further 2-way
ANOVA results also shows that there is significant interactional effect of home environment and locality on
adjustments of secondary school students but this interaction of home environment and gender on
adjustment of secondary school students is not significant.
