Description The present study was conducted purposively in two institutions each from Haryana State and
Delhi. Adolescents equally representing both the sexes i.e. 50 girls and 50 boys were selected on
random basis from both the institutions. Hence, a total of 200 adolescents constituted the sample for the
study to assess the existing social and emotional skills.The adolescents were further assigned to
experimental (50) and control (50) group. Life Skills Assessment Scale (LSAS) developed by Nair.et
al. (2010) was used to assess the social and emotional skills among the adolescents. Beck et al. (1996)
was used to estimating depression among adolescents. Test-Anxiety Scale (TAS) developed by Sharma
(1978) was used to measure the level of anxiety among the adolescents. A Life Stress Scale developed
by Agarwal and Naidu (1986) was used to study the level of stress among the adolescents. After
assessing the existing social and emotional skills of adolescents, results showed that the performances
of boys and girls adolescents on all six dimensions of social and emotional skills were found in average
level. Age, gender relationship with peers and teachers were found significantly associated with social
and emotional skills among adolescents. Majority of adolescents had moderate level of depression,
anxiety and stress and significant and negatively correlated with most of the social and emotional skills
dimensions. To a large extent intervention program enhanced the social and emotional skills of
institutionalized adolescents. There were significant improvements in the mean scores of adolescents
after giving intervention program. Age and gender wise significant improvement was found in all six
dimensions of social and emotional skills.
