Abstract
The primary purpose of this study was to examine the
influences of television viewing, gender and academic
achievement on adjustment among the school going
children. In this investigation, the influence was measured
on a sample of 640 adolescents (320 light TV viewers and
320 heavy TV viewers) with gender equivalence from low
and high achievers. Adjustment Inventory (Mittal, 2006)
was administered. Findings revealed that girls were higher
on home and social adjustment as compared to boys, while
boys were found to be higher on health adjustment as
compared to girls. Higher achievers scored significantly
higher than low achievers on home, health, school and total
adjustment, whereas no significant difference was observed
in the adjustment of light TV viewers and heavy TV
viewers.
