Title	:	Correlates of Academic Performance of Adolescents: Perspectives of Personality Characteristics
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Monica S. Sharma || S. K. Tripathi

Abstract: The academic performance of students from socially disadvantaged communities has been the prime concern of scholars from the disciplines of Education, Psychology and Psychiatry over the past three decades. The efforts to remedy this have, however, not yielded any sustainable results. Generally, when the academic performance is poor, the school resources and support systems are blamed. It was observed in one such population, that the academic achievement of students in some schools remained high while that of others in the same locality remained low despite the provision of same support services. Further, the researcher's experiences suggested that the disadvantaged schools whose students continuously performed well were guided by effective environment at schools in terms of promoting all round development rather than emphasizing only on academic pursuits.................
