Abstract

The present research aimed to investigate the link between adjustment and the nature of parent-adolescent relationship. This study followed the correlational research design to attain the objectives. For this purpose 200 intermediate students (age ranging from 13 to 18 years), studying in various schools/colleges of Meerut city, were recruited by using a simple random sampling method. Parent-adolescent Relationship Scale and Adjustment Scale were administered on the selected sample for the assessment of underlying variables. Collected was analyzed by calculating the Person’s ‘r’. Findings of this study revealed that there is positive correlation between parent-adolescent relationship and adjustment of adolescents. Most of the dimensions of parent-adolescent relationship (except Marital conflict-Marital adjustment) were found to be positively associated with different areas of adjustment.
