Social adjustment refers to the process through which individuals adapt to social environments by modifying their behaviors, attitudes, relationships, and roles in response to social expectations and changing circumstances ^[1]. It involves the ability to establish and maintain interpersonal relationships, participate in social activities, understand and respond to social norms, and perform expected roles within families, communities, institutions, or other social groups ^[2]. Social adjustment reflects the interaction between individuals and their social environments, where adaptation may involve changes in personal behavior as well as adjustments in the surrounding social context . It is influenced by social experiences, cultural values, available support networks, personal characteristics, and the demands of specific social settings. Social adjustment is not limited to conformity with existing norms but also includes individuals’ ability to negotiate relationships and participate effectively in social life ^[1]. The concept therefore describes the dynamic process through which individuals achieve functional and meaningful engagement within their social environments.
