In one third part of India, socio cultural and economical development is severely affected due to maoist movement, but the biggest loss is young generation's not getting elementary amenities to grow well. Youth is deprived of getting good education and fearless environment. State Government established six residential schools where students from Maoist conflict exposed districts get education and other basic facilities. Present study tends to explore the degree to which intellectual capacity, emotional and social intelligence would collectively and comparatively predict adjustment among these Maoist conflict exposed youth. The sample comprised of total 360 students, 225 male and 135 female with the age range of 16 to 18 years identified from Prayas, residential schools. All the students have passed high school and are from officially declared maoist hit districts. Students are randomly selected from four different schools. Descriptive statistics including Mean, Standard Deviation, Product Moment Correlation and Multiple regression analysis were obtained. The results indicated significantly high association between the independent variables and adjustment with intelligence taking the lead(r=0.69) followed by social intelligence (r=0.68) and lastly emotional intelligence (r=0.60). Also, all the three independent variables are significantly inter correlated. Emotional intelligence and social intelligence was positive and significant (r=0.73), Emotional intelligence and intelligent quotient was positive and significant (r=0.67); social intelligence and intelligence quotient was also positive and significant (r=0.84). Total contribution of all the three intelligences is 52.2% to the criterion variable, while comparative contributions as revealed by the Beta results showed abstract intelligence contributed more (B =0.36) than Emotional Intelligence (B = 0.16), Social Intelligence (B = 0.23). Findings of study indicate that psychosocial correlates play important role in the process of adjustment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
