Regarding the importance of social adjustment in adolescence and its related factors in school education system, the present study aimed to predict social adjustment with regard to self-efficacy and cognitive-emotional adjustment in high school boy students.

This research was a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population was first grade high school students in Ghaemshahr city. The sample size was 368 based on Cochran formula. However, due to the possibility of some of the questionnaires not being returned, it was decided to distribute more questionnaires. In total, 384 questionnaires were obtained by multistage random sampling. California Social Adjustment Questionnaire, Sherer and Adams General Self-efficacy and Cognitive Custody Regulation (CERO) were used as a research tool.

The results showed that there was a positive correlation between social adjustment with self-efficacy (R = 0.206) and positive cognitive regulation (R = 0.427); social adjustment with negative cognitive setting (R = -27.43) by inverse; Self-efficacy with positive cognitive regulation (R = 0.227) has a significant positive relationship. Self-efficacy has a negative relationship with negative cognitive setting (R -0.145).The results also showed that positive cognitive prediction alone predicts 18% of social adjustment, and self-efficacy has a very small impact of about 1% on compatibility.

According to the present research and the citation of the researches, it is suggested that Workshops and classes on teaching Cognitive Emotion Strategies and Emotion Management and combining them with school curriculum, especially in high school, should be considered as an effective factor in social adjustment and self-efficacy.
