Description The present study was undertaken in Hisar district of Haryana state. 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.

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,
