Abstract

Adjustment is the result of an individual's attempt to cope with stress and satisfy the demands of maintaining a harmonious connection with the environment. Successful adjustment is crucial for maintaining a good level of life. Individuals with adjustment disorders are more prone to have clinical depression or anxiety, feelings of despair, anhedonia, sleep disturbances, and risky conduct. Homesickness is a distressing situation created by being away from people and places you know and love. It is often a state of emotional anguish. It is a frequent experience for students who relocate away from home, regardless of distance. Psychological well-being involves several aspects of a person's mental and emotional health, such as healthy connections, personal growth and development, positive self-esteem and acceptance, and a sense of control over one's life. The sample consisted of 115 young adults (26 Males, 86 Females and 3 other) with mean age being 21.55 years. Moderation Analysis by Andrew F. Hayes was undertaken to compute the result. The results showed that adjustment has a positive moderation effect between Homesickness and Psychological Wellbeing.
