It was hypothesized that attitude towards out-group andreligious intolerancewould significantly predict psychological adjustment among majority and minority after controlling for demographics variables (gender and age). Moreover,negative attitude towards out-group and religious intolerance would positively associate with, but negatively correlate with psychological adjustment.Cross sectional research design was used as well as convenient and purposive sampling techniques was applied. The sample was comprised of 167 Muslims and 148 Christians (Men & Women) (N=315) adolescents with age range of 19-25 years. Religious Intolerance scale (RIS) (Mehdi, Shujja& Butt, 2016) and Personality Assessment Scale (PAQ) (Rohner, 2005) were used to assess religious intolerance and psychological adjustment among Muslims and Christians. Results revealed that demographical variable age was a strong predictor of psychological adjustment. It indicates as the person grows older then the psychological adjustment increases and religious intolerance tends to decrease. Moreover, religious intolerance was a strong predictor of psychological adjustment. The findings of current study added knowledge in the field of social psychology. The results of study can help in promoting awareness about the limits of outgroup attitude among majority and minority. On the basis of this research persuasive program can be developed to train people about understanding the interplay of religious intolerance and psychological adjustment of individual.en_US
