Present study was undertaken to examine the level of academic stress and
overall adjustment among Public and Government high school students and
also to see relationship between the two variables (academic stress and
adjustment). For that purpose 100 students of class IX were selected randomly
from two different schools out of which 50 were taken from Public and the remaining
50 were taken from Government school Sinha and Sinha scale for measuring
academic stress was used to see the magnitude of stress and Sinha and
Singh Adjustment Inventory for school students was used to examine level of
adjustment among the students. Results indicated that magnitude of academic
stress was significantly higher among the Public school students where as
Government school students were significantly better in terms of their level of
adjustment. However, inverse but significant relationships between academic
stress and adjustment were found for both the group of students and for each
type of school.
