Sunilkumar B.Dodmani and D.H.Jagadeesh

as a setting for the socialization has shown marked changes in the social relationship of college
students. Social competence is not just limited to happiness but has an important influence on
adjustment, achievement it also influences the kind of social adjustment college adjustment, the

the relationship between social competence, adjustment, and achievement of (first year) preuniversity college students. The sample consisted of two Hundred and twenty five preuniversity college students selected from social competence related to personal adjustment,
social adjustment, overall adjustment and achievement of pre-university college students of

and the two group’Viz., social competence in difference on the selected variables with the latter
showing higher levels of social competence, adjustment, achievement.
Keywords: social competence, adjustment, achievement.
INTRODUCTION:
Social competence is defined as the collection of specific social skills that permit individuals to perform
successfully in social sitting (Erwin, 1995; and Philippot). Social competence means a facility in dealing with
people and social situation. Social competence is one of the dominant elements in the personality pattern and
behavior. It governs the individual’s reaction to people and situation and determines the quality of his to be
personality and socially well adjusted. Ford (1985) offered five distinct uses of competence: as an outcome measure
reflecting one’s effectiveness in a specific situation, the use of competence is similar to “resilience”, a term use to
discuss children who successfully over come stressful life circumstances and continue to perform well in college
(Garmazy and Masten, 1991), Competence as a composite of knowledge, skills and abilities that permit successful
adaptation, and a belief in one’s effectiveness. Adjustment is a state of harmonious relation to the environment
where in one is able to abstain satisfaction for most of one’s needs and to meet fairly well demands, physical and
social, part upon one’s (English and English). One could distinguish between adjustment within one self (inter
personal) and with others (interpersonal). School is more than a place where culture is transmitted and skills being
taught. It is a world of varied human contacts that demands adjustment on the part of the child. it is a world where
friendships are made and those who do not easily make friends feel isolated. They are not self-bound .particularly;
minority and economically lees favored groups may feel lack of status and acceptance. Level of academic
achievement during adolescence and educational attainment later is life is strong predictors of variety of indicators
of well being in adulthood. A well adjusted adolescent meets his college environment with the initiative of full
sharing with others and for the optimum development of himself and herself, Student’s perceptions of their teacher’s
interest in their education also seen to have implications for their expected and as pried educational attainment. The
shift between high school and college can be challenging and many changes occur in emotional, social and academic

. A Study Of Social Competence Related To Adjustment And Achievement
adjustment (Gerdes and Mallinck rodt, 1994). (Astin, 1984 and Tinto 1987, 1993) fist year students encounter
obstacles which interfere with their involvement, integration and thus prevent them from taking full advantage of the
college experiences. First year students face a number of problems in adjusting to university life. these include
developing an appropriate identity and becoming socially integrating in to the college as well as attaining and
learning generic skills and qualities such as critical thinking and intellectual rig our. Adjustment indicates the art of
living of an individual. The psychology of adjustment focuses on practical matters understanding ourselves,
understanding ourselves, understanding others, living in harmony with ourselves and with our neighbors”
(Tallent.1978). Achievement has direct and indirect effect on personality. Directly the effect come how a person
evaluates himself and indirectly, from his realization of how others evaluate him. Of the two the first one has greater
effect on personality, because normally the person expects more about him than others expect of him and thus judges
himself are harshly than other do (Hurlock, 1971). Achievement refers to bringing an effort to the desired end or the
end gained. Since adjustment and achievement are two cardinal dimensions of a person’s behavior and since social
competence is acceptably a significant influence of behavior, it was felt that a knowledge of the relationship between
social competence and the other two variables would be very enriching and useful hence this study.

adjustment process by which we form impressions of others and has directly and indirectly effect on achievement

him since adjustment and achievement two cardinal dimension of a person’s behavior and since social competence is
acceptably a influence of behavior hence the relationship between social competence and other to variables would be
very enriching and useful.
