    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%).
