Students(n=40) who did not show any ADHD symptoms and typically developing children were also identified from the same school environments. The two group of students were matched for socio economic status and age. The students were administered with the Self efficacy questionnaire and socioemotional adjustment scale to measure the adjustment level. After the data collection process One way ANOVA were used to identify the differences between the two groups with respect to self efficacy and socioemotional adjustment.
