This is a report of investigations carried out into three aspects of the problem of maladjustment among Indian primary school children. For the sake of convenience and clarity, the dissertation is divided into the following parts, each investigating a different aspect of the topic: (a) A study of the Incidence of Maladjustment among Indian Primary School Children. (b) A Study of the Attitudes of Indian Teachers to Behaviour Problems of Children. (c) An In-depth Comparative Study of Sub-samples of Well-adjusted and Maladjusted Indian Primary School Children in respect of Selected Aspects of their Home Environment. The research was carried out in the form of three projects corresponding to the title order given above and referred to in this report as Projects One, Two, and Three, respectively. All three projects are linked together by the common theme of "maladjustment". / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Durban-Westville, 1978.
