Frustration tolerance of the selected subjects was measured by Frustration Tolerance (FRTO) test constructed and standardized by S.N. Rai (1984) while five dimensional adjustment inventory organized by Singh and Sen Gupta (2007) was used to assess adjustment of selected subjects. 2x2 factorial design was used to analyse the data.

The adjustment of student athletes was found to be significantly superior as compared to student non-athletes.
