Abstract

The capacity to keep track of one's own and other people's feelings and emotions, to recognise differences between them, and to utilise this knowledge to shape one's decisions and behaviour is known as Emotional Intelligence. One definition of adjustment is the process of changing behaviour to achieve harmony with the environment. A healthy connection with society is characterised by a proper awareness of social needs, requirements, and collective objectives as well as a commitment to satisfying the social demands of one's family, peers, culture, and community. Adolescents in our society are presently experiencing a variety of issues at various levels, and it has been determined that their personality disorders are closely related to the causes of these issues. The ultimate purpose of education, according to the current conception of it, is optimum adaptation. The teacher and guidance staff will be better equipped to give pupils with a quality education if knowledge on the adjustment issues of teenage students is available and their wants and feelings are taken into account and understood. The current study assesses the degree and connection between adolescents' Emotional Intelligence and Adjustment. Descriptive Research design has been used for the study. The method of gathering data employed is random sampling. The main conclusions of the current study are that Adolescents' Emotional Intelligence is high, although their degree of Social Adjustment is modest, and that there is a High Correlation between these two variables among the selected samples of Adolescents.
