Book excerpt: Concept of Adjustment:- Adjustment refers to changes in our ways of behaving to meet the changing demands of our environments. Obviously, Adjustment can be defined as a person’s interaction with his environment. Each person constantly strives to meet his needs and reach his goals. At the same time he is under pressure from the environment to behave in certain ways. Adjustment involves the reconciliation of personal and environmental demands. Interaction means mutual bearing or influence. Every person is influenced by these surroundings. And each has same effect on the particular environmental settings of which he is a part. The relative amount of influence varies from setting to setting and from time to time within a particular setting. Sometimes an individual is more influenced than influential, and sometimes it is the other way around. Environment refers to everything external to the person with which he is in some relation. In the study of adjustment, the unit of study is frequently a social group. For example, the individual is studied in relation to his family or to the people with whom he work.
