The adolescent has to make many adjustments in life (Elliot, 2000).This adjustment can be physical, emotional, social and educational. Research has shown that adolescents who have been victims of corporal punishment at home are at greater risk of developing problem behaviours such as depressive symptoms, thoughts of suicide, addiction towards drugs and alcohol etc. (Straus and Kantor, 1994). Problem is to find whether conflict between young adults and their parents affect their adjustment in life. Objective is to investigate whether conflict between young adults and their parents affect their adjustment (Straus and Kantor, 1994).The variables of the study include Conflict Score as the independent variable and adjustment as the dependent variable. Adjustment related variable include Emotional Adjustment, Social Adjustment and Educational Adjustment. Hypotheses of the study were formulated. . Population consists of Plus 2 (age group 16-18 years) and 1st year degree college students (age group 18- 19 years) of Kolkata, North 24 Parganas and Hooghly districts of West Bengal from both urban and rural areas. Sample for Quantitative phase consisted of 545 students of Plus 2 and 1st year of college. Sample for Qualitative phase consisted of 30 students selected based on their Conflict Score. Tools of the study consisted of Conflict Scale- Questionnaire titled "Young Adults' Conflict with Parents" constructed by the investigator and Adjustment Inventory for School Students (Sinha and Singh,2005) Results showed that the correlation between Conflict Score and Emotional Adjustment is positive and significant at 1% level . That is, increased conflict has a deleterious effect on emotional adjustment. The correlation between Conflict Score and Social Adjustment is positive and significant at 1% level. As conflict increases social adjustment score increases which implies that increased conflict improves social adjustment. The correlation between Conflict Score and Educational Adjustment is positive and significant at 1% level. That is, conflict has a deleterious effect on Educational Adjustment (Sinha and Singh, 2005).Qualitative analysis was also done. The aggression that is generated from conflict has a potential of emotional maladjustment. It can destroy the young minds. It is a cause of concern for the future of our society. Not only does it call for parental education, but it also calls for more socially oriented teachers in high schools and colleges.
