Abstract

Banoo J, Vaida N and Nadeem NA

Adjustment is the individual’s meeting of his psychological demands and accepting himself. Positive self-regard is important for successful functioning in everyday life. The self-evaluation of members of minority groups such as deaf people, however, is challenged by prejudice toward them on the part of the majority society. Adjustment is the individual’s ability to fulfill his psychological needs and his self-acceptance as well as enjoying life without any types of conflicts and accepting social activities and participation in social activities.
