The sample consists of 50 parents (either mother or father) of children diagnosed as mentally retarded. Parental age group is 25-50 yrs. The tools used for the measurement of variables are An Adjustment Inventory, Scale of Parental Attitude Towards Mental Retardates, and a Personal Data Sheet. Subjects have been grouped on the basis of Religion, Education, Locality, and Income. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and t-test. The results indicated that parental religion, income, and education do not have any significant influence on adjustment variables, but there is change in parental attitude among different religious groups. Locality of parents influences only on the dimensions of social adjustment and parental attitude
