The Effectiveness of Life Skills Training Program in Improving Both Emotional Intelligence and Academic Intelligence Outcomes in Adolescents

Abstract

Emotional intelligence was the focus of the study's need survey. The purpose of the research was to find out how an intervention program affected the EQ of college-aged people. The present investigation made use of a pre-post test design. Adolescents, both male and female, ranging in age from eighteen to twenty years old, made up the present research. Both the pre- and post-tests were administered using the following instruments: Cooper Smith Self Esteem Inventory, Sevenfold Emotional Intelligence Scale, and Generalized Self Efficacy Scale. A three-month EQ development program was offered to pupils who scored below the norm on the tests. A statistically significant improvement in EQ scores was found when a paired sample t test was used to compare the pre- and post-test means. Everyday living was much more difficult for young women, and they struggled greatly to build careers and families. Young women have a lot of emotional and social issues due to these discrepancies. An individual's capacity to cultivate adaptive and constructive behavior in response to the obstacles and demands of daily life is known as a life skill. These fundamental abilities are critical for empowering young women to thrive in today's world and meet the challenges it brings. To be healthy is to have "full physical, mental, and social wellbeing," according to the World Health Organization. Hormonal shifts cause constant emotional highs and lows for adolescents, who may find adulthood's lack of experience daunting and lead them astray. An adolescent's emotional intelligence—defined as the ability to understand and manage one's own and other people's emotions, as well as those in interpersonal relationships—is crucial to their personal and professional growth.
