Abstract :

Present study is aimed to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and gender in tribal–non tribal adolescent group. Emotional Intelligence is a positive attribute and found to be very significant for adolescent. Researchers showed that Emotional Intelligence is closely associated with gender differences. That is why, this investigation was planned to see the differences in level of EI with respect to gender, adolescent and ethnicity. The sample for the study was comprised of 200 male and 200 female, plus two students from Ranchi district. Male and female students were further divided in male tribal, male non tribal and female tribal, female non tribal groups. Students were selected from various schools of the city. REIT – Roquiya Zaninuddin Test of Emotional Intelligence was administered on above mentioned group. Results revealed that female students have more Emotional Intelligence score than male students. The impact of ethnicity was found to be significant for only non tribal group. Dimension wise analysis of Emotional Intelligence was also carried out. ‘F’ ratio is found to be highly significant (.01 Level) for ethnicity and gender on Emotional Intelligence scale. Conclusively, it can be said that girls were higher than boys on Emotional Intelligence scale. Interaction effect between ethnicity and gender is also significant. These findings have greater implication value.
