The canonical correlation between Contingencies self-worth and adjustment of students

This research aimed at studying the canonical correlation between Contingencies self-worth (Family support, Competition, Appearance, God’s love, Academic competence, Virtue, Approval from others) with adjustment (emotional, Social and academic). In order of this research, 221 university students were selected by random ratio sampling method (1272 cases). Data was gathered through contingencies of self-worth scale (CSWS) and youth adjustment inventory. The method of data analysis was canonical correlation analysis and independent t test analysis. The results of Canonical correlation analysis revealed that there is a significantly negative relationship between Contingencies self-worth with adjustment (p< 0/01). ). In addition, the results of independent t test analysis showed there was significant difference between male and female university students in emotional adjustment and educational adjustment levels and total adjustment (p< 0/05). But, there wasn’t significant difference between male and female university students in social adjustment. In general, it can be concluded that if the Contingencies self-worth increase the adjustment will be low among these student.
