Abstract
Objective: To investigate the determinants of
psychological adjustments in newly wed females.
Results: Among 200 newly wed females, social
isolation and communication were the significant
determinants of psychological adjustment
[R2=.064; F (2,197) =6.768, p<.01]. Further, the
neural network analysis indicated that the relative
importance of social isolation and communication
in predicting psychological adjustment in newly
wed females was 0.539 and .461, respectively
which indicates that social isolation plays more
vital role as compared to communication.
Conclusion: More social isolation and
communication deficit was the determinant of
problems of psychological adjustment of newly
wed females. Further, social isolation plays more
important role in affecting psychological
adjustment as compared to communication.
