Emotional Maturity among Undergraduate Students

Abstract

This study investigated on “Emotional Maturity among undergraduate students”. The study was Survey in nature. Emotional Maturity tool was used to collect the data and this tool was developed by Yashvir Singh and Mahesh Bhargava. For the present study researcher has adopted stratified random sampling technique. Objectives and hypothesis were to study the level of Emotional Maturity. To study the difference in Emotional Maturity among undergraduate students with respect to streams (Arts, Commerce, and Science). To study the difference in Emotional Maturity among Undergraduate Students with respect to Gender. To study the difference in Emotional Maturity among Undergraduate students with respect to type of college. Researcher selected 180 students of undergraduate studying in two colleges. In the present study t-test ANOVA and Correlation was used to analyze the data by using SPSS. The study examined emotional maturity among undergraduate students, as well as how these variables differ based on gender, stream of study (Arts, Commerce, Science), and type of college (Government, Private). The study found significant differences in Emotional Maturity across Arts, Commerce, and Science streams (F = 19.897, p < 0.05). This suggests that students’ Emotional Maturity varies depending on the stream they pursue, with potential differences in academic environments, expectations, and pressures shaping their emotional development. There was no significant difference in Emotional Maturity between male and female students (T = 1.236), indicating that gender does not play a major role in shaping Emotional Maturity among undergraduates. While private college students showed a slightly higher mean score in Emotional Maturity compared to government college students, the difference approached significance but was not conclusively strong (T = 1.980). This suggests that while there may be some variation, type of college does not strongly influence Emotional Maturity.
