This study is concerned with the comparison of grade point averages and personal adjustment scores of a sample of disadvantaged students and a random sample of their classmates. The main objective is to determine if being economically "disadvantaged" is detrimental to the academic achievement and personal adjustment of a student. The Bell Adjustment Inventory with six areas of adjustment is used to identify the personal adjustment. A further aspect of the study is to determine if higher grade point averages correspond with better personal adjustment scores and if lower grade point averages correspond with poor personal adjustment.Home Economics Educatio
