Abstract

Emotional Intelligence and Adjustment are the essential conditions for living a healthy and wealthy life. From birth to death, everyone require healthy adjustments in all aspects of life. Adjustment problems, stress levels and homesickness are all supposed to be reduced for the development of a well-balanced personality. Emotional intelligence was thought to be responsible for reducing adjustment problems, stress levels and homesickness. Emotions play a significant role in influencing and guiding actions. Emotions are often seen as dominating the behavior to the point where everyone have no choice but to behave in accordance with their wishes. Subsequently, emotions are found to be providing a specific direction to behavior. These emotions aid in the development of personality. This study made an effort to find levels of emotional intelligence among science and arts student teachers. The present study consists of 50 samples equally divided into two groups (i.e., science and arts). Emotional intelligence tool used was constructed and standardized by Ankool Hyde, Sanjyot Pethe, and Upinder Dhar, and an adjustment scale was constructed and standardized by Prof. A.K. Sinha and R.P. Sina, for the collection of data. Statistical techniques such as mean, SD, and t-test are used for data analysis. The result reveals that 22% of student teachers have high emotional intelligence, 68% of student teachers have average emotional intelligence, and 10% of student teachers have low emotional intelligence. From the study, it is concluded that there is no significant difference between the Emotional Intelligence scores of Science and Arts student teachers. There is no significant difference between the adjustment scores of science and arts student teachers. There is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and the adjustment of B.Ed. student teachers at Srinivas University.
