Association between emotional Maturity and academic achievement of adolescent players

Abstract

The study was planned to investigate the association between emotional maturity and academic achievement of adolescent players. The sample comprised 113 adolescent players (68 boys and 45 girls) of Bhai Mastan Singh Senior Secondary Public School, Sri Muktsar Sahib (Punjab), who were studying in the 11th and 12th classes. All the selected subjects were aged between 16.5 to 19 years. A purposive sampling technique was used to pick the sample. The emotional Maturity Scale created by Pal (1984) was utilized to quantify the emotional maturity of adolescent players. The academic achievement of the adolescent players was measured through the marks obtained in the mid-term examination. The collected data was analysed through Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient at a 0.05 level of significance. A significant moderate positive correlation was discovered between the emotional maturity and academic achievement of adolescent players.
