Resum

Objective: The objective of the study is to find out the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Sports Achievements of college-going boys. Methodology: For the purpose of the study, 36 players in different games & sports and 36 non-playing boys were randomly selected. The age of all the subjects ranged from 18 years to 22 yrs. The Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) developed by Schutle et al. (1998) was used to assess the Emotional Intelligence level of the subjects. Descriptive statistics was used to examine the significance difference among five domains of Emotional Intelligence (Self Recognition, Self-Regulation, Self-Motivation, Empathy and Handling Relations). One-way ANOVA was used and hypothesis was tested at a .05 level of significance. Results: The Mean and Standard Deviation of Non-Playing Boys are Self-Recognition (13.97 +2.03), Self-Regulation (17.38+2.67), Self-Motivation (17.63+2.86), Empathy (19.08+3.28) and Handling Relations (31.61+4.61) and total EI Scale is (99.69+7.02). Mean and Standard Deviation of players in different games and sports are Self-Recognition (15.94+2.60), Self-Regulation (20.36+3.51), Self-Motivation (21.86+2.88), Empathy (22.72+2.06) and Handling Relations (34.72+3.75) and Total EI Scale is (115.61+6.37). The ANOVA result shows that the “p-values” of the domains of Emotional Intelligence are less than 0.05, and hence, the F-value is significant at a 5% level. Summarizing the key findings and implications of the study: Results clearly indicate that there is a significant difference existing between the Emotional Intelligence and Sports Achievements of college boys. Students who are high on the EI Scale have high sports achievement; hence, EI plays a significant role in sports achievement among boys. The development of EI among players leads to better sports performance.
