Emotional intelligence of adolescent belonging to different socioeconomic group

The present research paper entitled “To Study the Emotional Intelligence of Adolescents Belonging to Different Socio-Economic Groups” was carried out with the objectives to study the emotional intelligence of adolescent belonging to upper socioeconomic status, middle socioeconomic status and lower socioeconomic status. A group of 150 adolescents (50 from each socio economic strata) was selected from both government and private institutions in the study via a stratified random sampling technique. The data were collected using an Emotional Intelligence Inventory and ‘Socio Economic Status Scale (SESS)” and analysed using mean, S.D and F-test. The findings of the study indicated that there is some difference. The higher mean value in favours of upper and middle socioeconomic status” adolescents further indicated that they have significantly higher emotional intelligence as compared to the lower socioeconomic adolescents student. But these differences didn”t alter the F-ratio so It can be concluded from the above analysis that variation in socio-economic status (SES) levels didn”t associated with variation in emotional intelligence in adolescent students. The data finally ended up in concluding that there exists NO significant difference in the emotional intelligence level of upper, middle and lower socioeconomic group's adolescent students.
