In today’s competitive business scenario, there is enormous psychological pressure
on the youth population to perform well and succeed in life. Emotional intelligence
has now been accepted as crucial to withstand such psychological pressures.
Several studies have been conducted to study the level of emotional intelligence
among students and its relationship with other variables such as personality,
achievement, and well-being. The present study is exploratory in nature and makes
an attempt to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence and social
reticence among women day scholars (N=26) and women hostel boarders (N=21),
pursuing their post graduate courses. The influence of birth order on their emotional
intelligence and social reticence has also been studied. Product moment correlation
was used to study their relationship and significance of difference between the
means of the two groups was computed with the aid of t-test. Results revealed
that EI and SR are negatively correlated and there was no significant difference in
EI and SR scores of students with respect to birth order and type of residence.
