[[alternative]]The study of comparison with life adjustment between athletes and general students in elementary school

[[abstract]]Summary The purpose of this research is to show the difference of the life adjustment between students who are the members of the school athletic teams and general students. These students who were investigated are in the fifth and sixth grades from eight different elementary schools that are having great records on sports in Taoyuan Hsien. By taking the test (Hsin- Hua Wu, 1996) there were 431 available questionnaires. This data has been analyzed by using the software of SPSS. The conclusions are as below: 1. Athletes’ situations of the life adjustment are between average and good. 2. There is difference on the item of social adjustment between athletes and general students. Athletes can do better than general students. 3. On the item of adjustment of schoolwork and leisure, girls are doing better than boys; but boys are more outstanding on the item of self- acceptance than girls. 4. The fifth grades have better abilities on the item of self- acceptance and psychological fortitude than the sixth grades. Based on this research, I strongly suggest to do more training on education and physical education. Keywords: elementary school students, athletes, life adjustment
