ABSTRACT
This study tried to examine the impact of Social Adjustment and Intra-
Family Relationship on Academic Achievement of Secondary School Students in
Zaria. The target population is all the SSI Students in Zaria Educational Zone.
The subjects consisted of 400 boys and girls of SSI students from 6 secondary
schools that were randomly sampled. Survey method was the research design.
Two types of instruments were used, which are the Myer's Intra-Family
Questionnaire and Sydmond Adjustment Scale. The former takes care of the
adjustment at home while the latter is for the adjustment in school.
A pilot study was conducted in two of the schools, one for boys and the
other for girls. The reliability of the instrument was computed with Cronbach alfa
coefficient and the reliability was 0.487 at 0.05 level of significance. The
researcher and some teachers who assisted conducted the administration of the
instrument. Pearson Product Moments Correlation and t-test was used. The JSSCE
