| Abstract | ||
The present research examined the relationship between emotional maturity and peer pressure of 160 adolescents. Samples were selected using simple random sampling from Uttarkashi (rural areas). Based on secondary data collected from census 2011 it was found that literacy rate of Bhatwari block from Uttarkashi were highest among other blocks. To maintain homogeneity only high literacy rate block (Bhatwari) was purposively selected. Self-structured demographic questionnaire was used to find out demographic characteristics of adolescents. Emotional maturity and peer pressure scales were used. Pearson Correlation Matrix was used to find out the association between adolescents’ emotional maturity and pressure of peer group felt by adolescents. Negative correlation was found between emotional maturity and peer pressure felt by adolescents. Which implies that as the pressure increases there is relative decrease in maturity level in adolescents. |
