    Emotional Health of Emerging Adults
    (UAS Dharwad, 2011) Arati S. Angadi; V.S. Yadav
    Emotional health of emerging adults is an exploratory research to develop the emotional health scale (EHS), identify the status of emotional health of emerging adults and to develop a module for the intervention to promote emotional health. The emotional health scale (EHS) consisted of five subscales namely self-awareness, emotional management, self-confidence, social relations and self-esteem with 16 items in each subscale. The reliabilities and validities of the scale were established. The sample comprised of 951 emerging adults of 16 years to 22 years. The emotional health sale (EHS) was administered in the class on a subgroup selected randomly from SSLC, PUC, B.Sc, B.Sc (Agri), and B.HSc classes. The data were subjected to frequency, chi-square, correlation, t-test and factor analysis. The results revealed that the emerging adults who were in SSLC, PUC, I-B.Sc and II-B.Sc and I-B.HSc and II-B.HSc were poor in self-awareness which ranged from 87 per cent to 96 per cent and male students were significantly higher on selfawareness. Emerging adults of SSLC, PUC, I-B.Sc, II-B.Sc and I-B.HSc and IIB. HSc were poor on emotional management, which ranged from 90 to 100 per cent. Around 80 to 87 per cent of the emerging adults studying in II-PUC, I-B.Sc and IIB. Sc (Agri) were found to be poor on self-confidence. Around 81 to 100 per cent of the emerging adults of SSLC, PUC, I-B.Sc (Agri), II-B.Sc (Agri), III-B.Sc (Agri), IB. HSc and II-B.HSc were poor in social relations. Around 98 per cent of the emerging adults studying in II-PUC, I-B.HSc and II-B.HSc were poor in self-esteem followed by other classes where it was around 90 to 96 per cent. On the basis of overall results of emotional health, it can be concluded that emerging adults studying in II-PUC, II-B.Sc (Agri) and II-B.HSc were poor on emotional health (i.e., around 100%). And around 78 to 98 per cent of the other classes were poor on emotional health. The findings indicate that as the students progressed to the higher classes, their emotional health became better. The results also confirmed that male students were higher on self-awareness and female students were higher on self-confidence. The emotional health module was developed to promote emotional health. It consisted of 3 lectures, 5 activities, and 10 worksheets. The module was administered on a separate, homogeneous sample of 11 agriculture undergraduates who were identified as having poor emotional health. The intervention results revealed that a quantum of positive change occurred in all the five subscales i.e., self-awareness (6.83%), emotional management (i.e., 6.60%), self-confidence (i.e., 5.87%), social relations (i.e., 2.57%), self-esteem (i.e., 2.54%) and emotional health (i.e., 1.97%).

The population comprised 150 children residing in four juvenile institutions of Belgaum division in Karnataka state of which 148 children who were neglected, physically and multiply abused were selected for detailed study. Background information was collected using questionnaire. Information about social, emotional, educational adjustments of children and their perception about different parenting models was collected using Sinha and Singh (1997) and Bhardwaj (1998) scales respectively. Learning abilities and academic performance of children was collected from teachers and school registers. School based intervention programs for staff members and children were carried out. Intervention for children focused on improving their learning abilities and this was done by using intervention package. Pre and post assessment about learning difficulties was made using NIMHAN’S Index–II (Kapur et al., 1991). The results revealed that prevalence of neglect was highest among institutional children. Incidence of neglect was higher among girls, while physical and multiple abuse were more among boys. Significant association was found between caste, family size, family structure, alcoholic habit of father and types of child abuse. Majority of children had unsatisfactory adjustment in social, emotional, educational areas. Majority of children perceived that their parents had rejecting attitude towards them, careless about them and indulgent in their interpersonal relationships. Positive relationship was observed between children perception about different parenting models and their adjustment.

The objectives of the study were to know the prevalence of low achievers in schools, to develop instructional strategies based on the prescribed syllabus to teach science subject, to know the influence of gender, ordinal position, type and size of the family, parent’s education, occupation and per capita income of the family on the rate of learning science among slow learners, to study the impact of various instructional strategies developed in learning science among slow learners and to know the teacher’s opinion towards the different instructional strategies. The slow learners were identified from both Government and Private Kannada medium primary schools using four screening methods viz., academic achievement, teacher’s assessment, intelligence test and achievement test. The sample for the study comprised of 122 slow learners both from. Correlation coefficient, t- test and chi square tests were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that, the prevalence of low achievers was higher in Government school studying in third standard compared to Private and Aided schools. Gender, ordinal position, type and size of the family did not influence the rate of learning among slow learners. Whereas, parent’s education, occupation and per capita income of the family had positive and significant influence on the rate of learning science among slow learners. Teaching using the different instructional strategies was found better than conventional method. Teaching through model was found to be the most effective instructional strategy followed by charts, picture book, individual instruction and peer tutoring. However, statistically non-significant difference was found between the posttest and retention test mean scores of both experimental and control group students. Teacher’s assessment revealed that all most all of them had very good opinion towards using the picture book in teaching followed by models, charts, individualized instruction and peer tutoring.
