A Comparative Study of Emotional Intelligence in Relation to Their Creativity among Boys and Girls Studying at Elementary Level

Every child has born with some innate and some inherent unique abilities. Education is the only means to draw out these powers. Creativity is one of them. Every child has a spark of creativity. Children are like flowers. As flowers are different in size, shape, colour and fragrance, children also have different levels of creativity. Does the personality traits, emotional intelligence and creativity have any role in improving the performance of the students? So there is need to think about the above-mentioned conceptualisation. So, the study was set up on two variables-emotional intelligence as an independent variable and creativity as a dependent variable-to see the effect of emotional intelligence on creativity and relationship between these two variables among boys and girls studying at elementary level. A total of 100 students (50 boys and 50 girls) studying at elementary level in C.B.S.E Board schools of Meerut district were taken as samples. The selection of schools was done using the lottery method and students were selected through random sampling technique. To achieve the goal, the study was carried out with six objectives. For this purpose, the ex-post facto method and statistical techniques, t-test and Pearson's product-moment correlation method, were used, and it was concluded that boys studying at elementary level are comparatively more emotional, intelligent and creative than girls of the same level.
