Where the results of the study indicated that there is a positive, statistically significant relationship between family adjustment and perceived self-efficacy among juvenile delinquents in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. In light of the results, some recommendations were presented, including: increasing attention to the category of juvenile delinquents so that they can be helped psychologically and socially, and conducting more studies that deal with the problems prevailing in the category of juvenile delinquents.
