The present study aimed at investigating whether PG student staying at home and
hostel do differ significantly from each other in some of the important personality
variables such as self-efficacy and emotional intelligence? The study was conducted
on a sample of 200 PG students, out of which 100 students staying at home and
100 PG students staying at hostel. Both groups (consisting of 50 female and 50
male students) are selected from different Department of Karanatak University
Dharwad. General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) by Jerusalem and Schwarzer and
Self-Rated Emotional Intelligence Scale by Brackett and Rivers were used to collect
the data. The data were analyzed and the results revealed that PG students staying
at home have significantly higher self-efficacy and over all emotional intelligence
compared to hostelities. An incidental analysis also revealed that demographic
variables such as age, gender, order of birth, and caste have significantly contributed
to the self-efficacy and emotional intelligence of PG students staying at home and
hostel.
