Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to find out the significant difference of Emotional Maturity among Open and Closed Skill Sports. The researcher collected the data on Seventy Two (N=72), Male subjects between the age group of 18-28 years were selected. The subjects were purposively assigned into Two groups: Group-A: Open Skill Sports (n1=36) and Group-B: Closed Skill Sports (n2=36). The survey method through the technique of questionnaire had been adopted to collect the relevant data for this study.For evaluating the levels of emotional maturity among subjects, Singh and Bhargava’s (1988) Emotional Maturity Scale was used. This scale consists of five parameters namely, Emotional unstability, Emotional regression, Social maladjustment, Personality disint egration and Lack of independence.The differences in the mean of each group for selected variable were tested for the significance of difference by t-test. In all the analyses, the 5% critical level (p<0.05) was considered to indicate statistical significance. The significant between-group differences were found for emotional unstability (t=4.350),emotional regression (t=3.422),social maladjustment (t=2.807),lack of independence (t=3.409) &emotional maturity (t=5.291). The data further reveals that insignificant between-group differences were found for personality disintegration (t=1.128)
