Infallible Role of Administrators in Enriching Emotional Maturity

Abstract

               In education not only the cognitive aspect, the affective aspects also have to be well concentrated. Emotional maturity, the ability to control one’s emotions, is a state of balanced feeling and self-control.This research study deals with the role of administrators in enriching the emotional maturity of early adolescents. A sample of 640 students studying standard IX from twenty one schools was taken for the study. Emotional maturity scale by Singh & Bhargava (1999) was used for the collection of data. The statistical techniques employed were t-test and F-test. The major findings revealed that the early adolescents who were studying in boys’ school were found to have slightly high emotional maturity than their counter parts.  The early adolescents who were studying in the schools in which there were number of teachers who were in between 26-50 were found to have slightly high emotional maturity than their counter parts. Hence the teachers and institutions play a major role in cultivating emotional maturity in early adolescents to lead a glorious life. Every individual reacts to things differently. Aristotle once wrote that those who are “angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and the right way are at an advantage in any domain of life”.Science generally focus on rational explanation of the performance and behaviour of the human beings, but thoughts, actions and results often influence the emotional side of human nature.
