Comparison of sports emotional intelligence between hill and plain area of Assam

This research compares the emotional intelligence (EI) of sports between athletes from hill and plain areas of Assam, focusing on individuals aged 18 to 25 years. The study comprises 100 athletes, with an equal representation of both genders, from diverse regions within Assam. Emotional intelligence was measured using a standardized questionnaire based on the EI framework developed by Dr. C.D. Agashe and Dr. R.D. Helode (2002). A survey methodology was employed to collect data and analyze the emotional intelligence levels of athletes from the hill and plain areas. The research aims to explore regional differences in emotional intelligence, considering the unique cultural, environmental, and socio-economic factors that may shape the emotional and psychological traits of athletes. The findings of this study will offer insights into how emotional intelligence varies across geographical regions and its potential impact on sports performance, contributing to better-targeted strategies for athlete development and emotional well-being in Assam.
