The present study intends to compare the adolescent inhabitants of urban, sub urban and rural areas of West Bengal in respect of their adjustment capacity. A total number of 191 adolescent boys and girls have been selected as the subjects from urban, sub urban and rural areas following certain a priori criteria. General Information Schedule and Life Environment Integration Inventory have been administered on the subjects. The findings indicate significant differences between rural and urban adolescent inhabitants in terms of all the dimensions and the total adjustment capacity. Significant differences are noted between rural and sub urban adolescents as well but urban and sub urban adolescents have not differed significantly in respect of their capacities of adjustment. It is noteworthy that the rural inhabitants have displayed the highest levels of adjustment capacity whereas the urban respondents are found to be the worst in terms of adjustment as compared to their sub urban and rural counterparts.
