Sample consist of 200 Mizo adolescents (attending schools) ranging in age from 14 to 16 years from the city of Aizawl selected through purposive random sampling. For the purpose of the study, necessary information was gathered through the use of Subjective Happiness Scale (SHC) and Adjustment Inventory for School Students (AISS). Psychometric adequacy and parametric statistic assumptions were checked for the selected population. Pearson correlation and One-Way ANOVA were applied to find out relationships and significant group differences. The result revealed significant gender differences and significant correlations between the variables. The present study contributes to an emerging understanding of the underlying process between the different psychological variables.
