The present study assessed and compared the adjustment patterns of adolescents in orphanages, single parent families and intact families. From the four selected cities of Punjab (Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, & Hoshiarpur), 100 school going adolescents were randomly selected trom the selected orphanages and 100 adolescents were selected under both single parent families and intact families trom the government schools. The sample was equally distributed across both the genders (Boys=50 & Girls=50, in each category). Therefore, total sample comprised of 300 respondents in the age group of 14-16 years. Bell's Adjustment Inventory adapted by Ojha was used to measure the adjustment of adolescents. Present study revealed that, overall, majority of adolescents residing with intact families reported medium level of adjustment. Adolescents trom orphanages reported significantly more problems in social adjustment and emotional adjustment. Overall analysis also revealed that orphans had more adjustment problems as compared to their counterparts. To make the teen adjusting, parents or caretakers should encourage their involvement in extra-curricular activities; they should try to be extremely friendly with them for understanding them better and should include them in decisions.Keywords

The present study assessed and compared the social maturity of adolescents in orphanages, single parent families and intact families. The sample consisted of300 adolescents in the age group of 14-16 years, trom the four selected cities of Punjab (Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, & Hoshiarpur). From the selected orphanages, 100 school going adolescents were drawn and also, 100 adolescents were selected under both single parent families and intact families trom the government schools. Respondents were equally distributed across both the genders (Boys 50, Girls=50, in each category). Self designed general information questionnaire along with the Social Maturity Scale was administered to collect the data. The results of the present study revealed that most of adolescents irrespective of their family type showed medium level of personal, interpersonal and social adequacy. Interestingly, total social maturity of most of the adolescents also found to be medium and almost negligible difference was found in their proportions across family type. Also, the adolescents from orphanages were found socially less mature as compared to those residing with intact families and with single parent families. Parents or caretakers can boost social maturity of the children by testing their capacity for observation and social learning, by make them learn how to become more socially mature, and by strengthening their poor peer relationships.Keywords
