Abstract
Considerable attention has been given to the relationship between socio-psychological adjustment In college and scholastic success. However, the results have not been consistent and our knowledge is in an early stage. The present study utilizes peer-ratings of adjustment by student leaders who were familiar with 180 college freshman subjects. The results are consistent with the consensus of earlier studies, which indicate little confidence In either sociability or emotional adjustment as factors In school achievement. The authors suggest that conformity, motivation and organizational effort may be more promising variables.Keywords
