Abstract:
The present study aimed to know the school adjustment of rural and urban adolescents in the new normal post-COVID period. Adjustment Inventory for school students (AISS) by Sinha and Singh (1984) was used. Coverage includes three primary dimensions, these were emotional, social, and educational. 200 adolescents made up the sample, out of which 100 adolescents were from rural areas (50 girls and 50 boys) and 100 from urban areas (50 girls and 50 boys), between the ages of 14 to 16 years enrolled in government senior secondary schools in urban and rural parts of the Udaipur District. In light of the objectives set forth for the current investigation, the acquired data were analyzed. The study's main findings showed no significant difference between boys and girls in terms of their emotional, social, or overall school adjustment. There is a considerable difference between adolescents from rural and urban locations in terms of their emotional, social, academic, and overall adjustment.
