There are individual differences noted due to justifiable reasons.

Subjective wellbeing Inventory by Nagpal & Sen and Bell’s Adjustment Inventory Students-Form are used. Correlation analysis (r - .542) (p< 0.001) revealed inverse relationship between levels of Subjective wellbeing and Psychological adjustment. A ‘t’ test was computed to see the significant difference in the SWB scores between two groups with high and low adjustment.
