A Comparative Study of Emotional Intelligence Between Physical Education and B. Sc. Students of D.M College of Science

Abstract: Everybody has emotions. We may experience happiness for a moment and sadness the next. And occasionally, we may experience fear. There are many different feelings in between, and we may even experience mixed emotions, which are multiple feelings experienced simultaneously. Humans have emotions, which are reactions to things that happen to them. Emotions are feelings derived from a person's mental state, typically dictated by their immediate surroundings. The situation that elicits an emotion determines the kind of emotion the individual experiences. For example, a person feels happy when they get good news and afraid when they are in danger. Everybody's everyday life is significantly impacted by their emotions. Salovey and Mayer (1990) define emotional intelligence as “the ability to monitor one’s feelings and the feelings of others, to appraise them, and, when necessary, to regulate them by creating and employing those feeling states to facilitate one’s or others’ adaptative social development”. For this study, 110 students were randomly selected from D.M College of Science Imphal, the age of the subjects ranged from 18-21 years. The Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire developed by Dr. Subhas Sarkar and Samrat Sarkar was used to measure the students' emotional intelligence. The comparative finding of the study reveals that there were differences in emotional intelligence levels of physical education and B. Sc students of D.M College of Science.
