Description |
Each and every individual differ in their way of thinking, reacting to situations, motivational level and performs any task according to their capabilities. The concept of self-efficacy introduced by Bandura (1977) is defined as people's beliefs about their capabilities to produce designated levels of performance that exercise influence over events that affect their lives. Selfefficacy beliefs determine how people feel, think, motivate themselves and behave. Along with the self-efficacy, different kinds of emotions of the individuals also play a key role in producing designated levels of performance. Emotional intelligence addresses the emotional, personal, social and survival dimensions of intelligence, which are often more important for daily functioning that the more cognitive or mental aspect of intelligence. Emotional intelligence includes, as Aristotle put it, the rare ability “to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way.” The emotions, feelings and values are vital for a person’s well being and achievement in life (Ediger, 1997). The present study was an attempt to find out the relationship between perceived self-efficacy of adolescents and their emotional intelligence levels. It also examined the relationship between self-efficacy and emotional intelligence levels, as well as demographic variables and emotional intelligence of adolescents. The self-efficacy scale developed by Schwarzer &Jerusalem (1993) was used to get information regarding perceived self-efficacy of adolescents. Emotional Intelligence Inventory developed by Umadevi & Mayuri (2003) was used to find out the emotional intelligence of adolescents. The sample comprised of 180 adolescents with equal number of boys and girls in the age range of 13-16 years studying 9th and 10th class; Junior and senior intermediate from the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The data collected was scored, coded, tabulated and interpreted using appropriate statistical procedures. Majority of the adolescents perceived medium self-efficacy followed by low and high self-efficacy levels. Most of the adolescents with low self-efficacy, medium self-efficacy and high self-efficacy level fell under below average, average scores and above average categories of emotional intelligence respectively. Adolescents with high self-efficacy had higher scores on all the 5 sub scales of emotional intelligence such as intrapersonal, interpersonal, adaptability, stress management and general mood as well as the total emotional intelligence. The results indicated that majority of the adolescents having high selfefficacy levels are more emotionally intelligent than that of the adolescents having medium and low self-efficacy levels. Variables like father’s income, mother’s occupation, and mother’s income had positive and significant relationship with the total emotional intelligence. Percentage of marks secured and self-efficacy levels of the adolescents had positive and significant relationship with all the sub scales of emotional intelligence and total emotional intelligence. The findings of the present study help us to understand the influence of self-efficacy on emotional intelligence of adolescents. It can create awareness among educators and counsellors to conduct training programmes, to enhance self-efficacy and emotional intelligence skills of individuals and help them to have a closer look at self-efficacy and emotional intelligence and its role in making an individual to be successful |
