Abstract
Background: Adolescence is a critical developmental stage marked by rapid physical, emotional, cognitive, and social changes. Senior secondary students encounter academic pressure, career-related concerns, peer influence, and identity formation challenges. Adjustment and self-confidence are two key psychological constructs that significantly influence adolescents' well-being and academic success. Objective: To examine the relationship between adjustment level and self-confidence among senior secondary students. Method: A correlational research design was employed with 100 senior secondary students (Grades XI–XII) from the Shekhawati region (Churu, Jhunjhunu, Sikar) selected via random sampling. The Adjustment Inventory for School Students (AISS) and the Adolescents' Self-Confidence Scale were administered. Results: An independent samples t-test revealed that the obtained t-value (2.46) did not exceed the critical threshold (2.63) at p < .01, indicating no statistically significant difference in self-confidence between high- and low-adjustment groups. Conclusion: Self-confidence among adolescents is shaped by a multidimensional constellation of psychological and environmental factors rather than adjustment level alone. Implications for school-based counseling and intervention programs are discussed.
