Abstract

Emotions are those forces which enable an individual to cope up withcircumstances forsurvival. Emotions have strong link with needs and interests. A healthy emotional development inculcates emotional maturity among students which isthe product of interaction between many factors likehome environment, school environment, society and culture. Emotionally matured students are better adjusted. Emotional maturity can be called as a processof impulse control through the agency of self or ego. As emotional pressure is increasing day by dayamong students so, there was a need to study emotional maturity among students in relation to their academic achievement. A sample of 120 students studying in senior secondary schools of Faridabad was selected to know their emotional maturity in relation to their academic achievement. Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS) developed by Dr. Yashveer Singh and Dr. Mahesh Bhargav was used for the collection of data. Results of the study show that emotional maturity not only affects student's physical growth but also his mental and emotional development. The study provides the evidence to show that there is positive relationship between emotional maturity and academic achievement of students studying at senior secondary level. It is very important that teachers should express their love and concern towards students by involving, spending more time and interacting with them, so that students feel free to exchange their ideas, view and feelings with them.
