Abstract
Abstract: Adjustment is the process of adapting to changes in the environment, which may be mental, physical and occupational. It also refers to being able to balance out conflicting needs, or bringing back the state of homeostasis. A well adjusted person is able to adapt to their surrounding efficiently, in a healthy way and is able to perform the tasks expected of them, and are able to have valuable contributions towards their friends, family, peers and the society at large. It was found that both family support and peer support were positively correlated to the overall adjustment of first year college students. However, family support and adjustment had a higher correlation (0.266) as compared to the correlation between friends support and adjustment ( 0.259). This can be alluded to the fact that India is a collectivistic country, and family support and values have a higher priority than the support of friends and acquaintances.
