PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT, SCHOOL ADJUSTMENT AND RESILIENCE IN RELATION TO SOCIAL COMPETENCE AMONG ADOLESCENTS
Abstract
This current research paper examines the relationship between parental involvement, school adjustment and social competence among adolescents. The research was carried out through a survey of adolescents in the age group of 13-18 years (schools of Ludhiana city). Results showed that parental involvement, school adjustment and resilience are all positively associated with social competence. These findings suggest that parental involvement, school adjustment, and resilience can all be important factors in helping adolescents to become more socially competent. Therefore, it is important for parents and guardians to be involved in their children's lives, as well as for schools to provide a supportive and encouraging environment. Additionally, it is important for parents, teachers, and other professionals to provide guidance and support to help adolescents become more resilient.
