Two senior secondary schools of Hisar city and two senior secondary schools of Ladwa and Muklan village one each from Hisar block I and Block II were selected as per the demand of study. A sample of 60 rural and 60 urban respondents including males and females of 16-18 year age studying in 11th and 12th standard were taken, thus to make a total sample of 120 adolescents. To assess personal and socio-economic variables, questionnaire was prepared and used. Adjustment Inventory for School Students developed by Sinha & Singh (2007) was used to assess adolescent’s adjustment. To assess the emotional intelligence of adolescents Emotional Intelligence Scale designed by Hyde et al. (2002) was used. The findings revealed that maximum number of respondents were in normal to high category of overall emotional intelligence. Adolescents differed significantly for their overall emotional intelligence on the basis of area of residence and gender. Mean comparison concluded that female and rural adolescents from medium family size and having high family educational status were better against their counterparts in their emotional intelligence status. Regarding adjustment of adolescents it was found that majority of respondents had average to excellent quality of overall adjustment. Statistically significant differences were found in adolescent’s adjustment on the basis of gender and area of residence. Mean score comparison highlighted that males against females and rural respondents had better adjustment. Respondents from nuclear families, having middle caste, having 2nd ordinal position and belonging to low income families were better in adjustment and its aspects than their counterparts. Positive significant correlation existed between emotional intelligence, adjustment and academic achievement. Positive significant inter-correlation was found between overall emotional intelligence and its sub aspects and between overall adjustment and its sub aspects. Results revealed significant association of area of residence, family size, family type, gender, father’s occupation and monthly income with emotional intelligence. Results related to association of personal and socio economic variables with adjustment of respondents revealed that area of residence, gender, family type and caste were significantly associated with adjustment.en_US
