Description Mental health and adjustment problems of 10th and PUC-II students of Navodhaya,
Central and State schools revealed that only 52 percent had sound mental health. Students
were better in positive self evaluation; autonomy and group-oriented attitudes but poor in
perception of reality, integration of personality and environmental mastery. Boys and girls
did not differ in mental health status. However significantly higher percentage of girls of
Central school and boys of Navodhaya had positive mental health. Tenth graders were
significantly better than PUC-II students and significant differences were observed only
among Navodhaya and Central school. Scheduled caste/tribe students had poor mental health.
Students of all three educational systems faced more problems on social
psychological relations, vocation and educational issues, curriculum and teaching procedures.
PUC-II students compared to tenth, boys than girls and scheduled caste/tribe students faced
more adjustment problems. Age, type of family, ordinal position, sibling status and
constellation, parental education, occupation and family income did not influence mental
health and adjustment problems. Transition from school to college in case of state schools
had no influence. Mental health was significantly correlated to adjustment problems
indicating higher the problems, lower the mental health.
Students were drawn from three types of educational systems-Navodhaya, Central and
State schools. Students studying state syllabus, were drawn from schools, Degree and
Composite colleges. One each of three educational systems of Dharwad taluk with state
schools of three categories was selected. Thus total of five schools/colleges with 227 students
constituted the sample. Among them 107 were 10th and 120 PUC-II, 121 boys and 106 girls.
Mental health was measured by Jagadish and Srivastava’s (1983) Mental Health Inventory.
Adjustment problems were measured by Joshi and Pandey’s (2005) Problem Checklist. The
associations between levels of mental health and adjustment problems with selected factors
were tested by 2, ANOVA and correlation.
