Abstract

Parent child relationship and adjustment are a major concern for the present scenario of school organizations. Both these directly influence the achievement motivation of school students. Many problems increase if they do not adjust in school environment such as lack of educational, social, emotional adjustment & lack of good parent child relations. Due to all these problems achievement motivation is affected. The present study is conducted to rule out all these effects. The sample constituted of 200 students studying in 9th & 10th classes of govt. schools of Haryana. Out of these 100 are from rural & 100 from urban schools & their age ranging from 14-16 years. Tools used were Adjustment Inventory for School Students (AISS), Parent Child Relationship Scale (PCRS) and DEO- Mohan Achievement Scale. On the basis of the findings it was found that some dimensions of parent child relationship such as rejecting, symbolic punishment & object punishment have significant negative correlation with adjustment. Achievement motivation is not correlated with parent child relationship.
