Abstract

The purpose of the study was to compare the level of adjustment among team sportspersons who had the experience of participating in the Indian inter-university competition. Twenty male players of each sport who had previously participated in the inter-university tournaments and were 17 to 25 years old were randomly selected for the present study. The data was collected using Vyaktitva Parakh Prashnavali developed by M.S.L. Saxena. To compare the various team sports in terms of adjustment, one way ANOVA was used. The result revealed that the means of ‘adjustment’ for various team sports included in the study are equal (F(4, 95) = 0.82, p=0.515). The obtained F-value (0.82) was lower than the tabulated value (2.46) which was required value for the result to be significant at 5%  level of confidence. In conclusion, the various team sports players were not significantly different from each other in terms of adjustment.
