STUDY OF ADJUSTMENT OF SELF ESTEEM OF SCHEDULE CASTE AND

Received: June 06, 2018 Accepted: July 27, 2018

ABSTRACT Self- esteem pertains to an experience of efficacy. This entails confidence in your mind at a very deep
level. Not the confidence of knowing you can perform this or that takes appropriately. Not confidence in bow much you
may know about any particular subject. Bur rather, trust in the process by which you reason, understand, learn chose,
decide, and regulate action.It is a trust cannot be faked. It has to be reality- based. It has to be earned. How it is earned
is one of the issued I will examine. Self- esteem has always been an important psychological need, ever since we envolved
the capacity for abstract self- awareness. Now, however, in a way that was not true in the past, it has become an urgent
economic need. We cannot understand how and why self- esteem has acquired its new importance in the workplace if
we do not understand what self- esteem is and how ti operates. But first, I will examine how the workplace has changed
what are the new and unprecedented challenges that individuals and business organization face- and how these
challenges related to self- esteem.

Introduction - According to the Merriam- Webster online dictionary, self- esteem is a confidence and
satisfaction in oneself or self respect. So how do we gain confidence and satisfaction in ourselves? Why is it
that some people have higher self- esteem and some have lower self- esteem ? Why do some successful
people have low self – esteem while at times people who have failed have a high level of self- esteem ? Is it
something that we gain from external sources such as praise or is it something internal ?
Hypothesis - For this, some tentative hypotheses were framed with respect to different areas of money
problem check list, which measures the adjustment problems of students, they were:-
1. The FC students groups would have less number of problems than SC students group on the health
and physical development (HPD). Both groups would differ significantly.
2. The FC students groups would have less number of problems than SC students group of the finance,
Living conditions and employment (FLE). Both groups would differ significantly.
Methodology - Sample is a part of a population which is studies so that the researcher can make
generalization about the whole of the original population samples can be gathered by means of several
different procedures, which include cluster sampling and random sampling. Nearly all psychological
research is earned out on samples, because the size of populations, or some other factors, make studying the
whole impossible. Many statistical techniques are concerned with indicating the reliability of a conclusion
based on a sample, but cannot identify whether the sample is typical of that population or not. So a
considerable amount of experimental methodology is concerned with ensuring, as far as possible that the
samples involved in the study are representative .
Conception of Self:
The inclusion of this issue in a standardized analytic scheme is justified by its universal applicability
and its relevance to a variety of personality theories. An individual' conception of himself is ordinarily
many- sided and internally contradictory. To determine and interrelate its many facets is no small
undertaking. We need to know which facets of the self- conception are unconscious, which facets are
conscious and how they are regarded (for example, with pride, resignation, guilt, or casual acceptance);
what the person thinks he is, what he would like to be, and what he expects, eagerly or anxiously, to become.
Pervading the overall conception of self will be the individuals to become. Pervading the overall conception
of self will be the individual's concepts of masculinity and femininity; his values, in the form of both moral
prohibitions and ideals, and his modes of dealing with inner dispositions and with external opportunities
and demands.
Conception of self is a central issue in Gillin's (1948) discussion of internal as against culturally
provided but external security systems (Gillin and Nicholson, 1951) in Riesman's (1950) dichotomy of inner

and outer directed orientations, and in Mead's (1947b) description of the "situational" type of personality
arising under conditions of raped culture change. The most extensive and systematic approaches to this
problem in national- character perspective, however, are provided by Erikson and Kardiner. By viewing ego
identity as product and at the same time a functional constituent of the ego, Erikson (1950) places it within
the overall psychoanalytic theory of personality structure and development. His formulations not only
advance ego theory but also reduce the gap between "individual" and "social "psychology Kardiner's (1939)
concept of individual security system refers, in the most general sense, to the self- characteristics, such as
modes of impulse control and social adaptation, by means of which the individual strives to achieve a
secure, meaningful position in society and a correspondingly meaningful inner identity. Kardiner's own
focus is mainly on specific self- characteristics as adaptations to group pressures, and he does not elaborate
the "identity" aspect as Erikson does. Both, however, contribute to our understanding of the ego ad of ego-
society relationships.
There are two other issues which for present purposes we subsume under the more general rubric
of "conceptions of self," though they might better be assigned independent status as issues. These are the
bases for maintaining inner equilibrium and the major forms of anxiety. The question posed by the former
is: What must the individual do or be in order to maintain a sense of well-being? For example, in Bali,
according to Jane Belo (1935) a prime requirement is to have "balance". This involver extreme inner control
over impulsivity, grace in expressive behavior (posture, gesture, decorun). and well-nigh continual concern
with on'e position in the world geographically, religio- cosmologically, and socially. That the emphasis on
balance has important defensive (anxiety- controlling) functions, thought it is by no means to be regarded as
"merely" defensive, is shown by Balinese myths and festivals (Bateson and Mead, 1942). In other societies
there are various other requirements, for example, material success, intellectual achievement, adherence to
tradition, demonstrations of potency, and so n. Clearly, these "inner equilibrium" requirements .
Result and Conclusion - In order to test the different hypotheses that the FC and SC students would differ
significantly on the different areas of adjustment problems, the FC and SC students groups were determined
on the basis of tradidtional caste system that is" Varn Varnvastha". The Brahmins, Bhunmiars, Rajpoot and
Kayasth were included. The total number of students group was 200. Furthermore, the SC group was formed
on the basis of their sub-castes and similarly the total number of forward caste groups was 200 only. The
means of both FC and SC groups were compared on health and physical development (HPD).

Table- 1 (i)
Comparison of FC and SC student groups on Adjustment Problem (HPD)
Groups N M SD T Significance level
FC 200 10.64 4.92 2.72 P<.01
SC 200 11.88 5.21

It is evident from table- 1 (i) that the groups differ significantly in HPD. The Mean of SC student
group is higher than the mean of FC group. This shows that the SC students have more adjustment problems.
The study goes with the studies of Sharma (1978), Ram (1501) and Singh 1975 who found that FC and
Upper SES groups differ in respect of health and physical Development, Similar result has been fond by
Singh (1992) in a study. The mean creativity score of High SES score was greater than the Lower SES
students groups.
In order to test the hypothesis number 1 (ii) that the groups would differ significantly on the
finances, living condition and employment (FLE) the scores of the groups (FC and SC caste student), on the
area of FLE were compared (Table- 1 (ii))
Table- 1 (ii)
Comparison of FC and SC caste students groups on Adjustment problem (FLE)
Groups N M SD T Significance level
FC 150 10.28 4.15 3.12 P<.01
SC 150 12.11 5.21

It appears from table- (ii) that the to groups differ significantly on finance, living conditions and
employment (FLE). The mean of SC caste student groups is slightly higher than the FC student, groups.
