Psychological Adjustment of Jagannath University Students Living with Family and without Family

The study aimed to investigate the psychological adjustment of Jagannath University (JNU) students living with family and without family. The study sample consisted of 100 students from different departments of Jagannath University. Among them, 50 students are living with family, where 25 were male and 25 were female, and from 50 students who are living without family, where 25 were male and 25 were female, all of whom have completed answering the Personality Assessment Questionnaire (Adult PAQ) (Uddin and Ahmed, 2012). The data obtained in the present study were analyzed using an independent sample t-test and Pearson product-moment correlation. The results reveal there is a significant difference between psychological adjustment and family coexistence, and they are significantly positively correlated (r=.687**; p<.05). The results also showed that living with family students (M=1.377) is more adjusted than living without family students (M=1.711). These results suggest that living with family, students have better psychological adjustment than living without family.
