ABSTRACT : Maturity is the ability to respond to the environment in an appropriate manner. This response
is generally learned rather than instinctive, and is not determined by one's age. Emotional maturity is
characterized by ability to become interested in things and persons; to do things for their own sake, to give love
to other persons. The main objectives of the study were to find out the emotional maturity among arranged
marriage male persons, to find out the emotional maturity among arranged marriage female persons and to
search the sex differences between arranged marriage couples with regards on their level of emotional maturity.
The total sample of the study was 60, 30 from arranged marriage male & 30 from arranged marriage female
from Agartala City of Tripura state. Emotional Maturity Scale constructed by Dr. Yashvir Shing was used. For
data analysis purpose mean, SD and t test were used. Result shows that Arranged marriage male persons are
found to have moderate emotional maturity. And Arranged marriage female persons are found to be extremely
emotionally matured.
I. INTRODUCTION:
Emotional Maturity is one of the vital components of personality which characterizes Multi-trait non-
cognitive psychological concept. According to Walter D.Smitson(1974), Emotional maturity is a process in
which the personality is continuously striving for greater sense of emotional health, both Intra-psychically and
Intra-personality. Emotional Maturity or stability might be considered as a potential factor in any field of life.
Guilford (1956) has prepared a matrix of temperamental factors of emotional maturity whereas Bernard (1965)
has mentioned few characteristics of emotionally matured persons. Bhargva and Sharma (1993) found that while
studying the sex differences in Emotional Maturity both. The group of adolescents (sports person) differed
significantly in emotion regression of independence. Female scored higher on emotional regression whereas
male showed themselves higher on social maladjustments and lack of independence.Actually, emotional
maturity is not only the effective determinant of personality pattern but it also helps to control the growth of
adolescent’s development. The concept ‘mature’ emotional behavior of any level is that which reflects that fruits
of normal emotional development.
II. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
1. To find out the emotional maturity among arranged marriage male persons.
2. To find out the emotional maturity among arranged marriage female persons.
3. To search the sex differences between arranged marriage couples with regards on their level of emotional
maturity.
Hypothesis of the study:
Their will be no sex differences between arranged marriage couples with regards on their level of
emotional maturity.
III. METHODOLOGY:
Variables under study:-
In the present study type of marriage (arranged marriage), sex was treated as independent variables,
where as emotional maturity was treated as dependent variable.
Sample:-
The effective sample of the study consists of 60 subjects classified as 30 male (arranged marriage) and
30 female (arranged marriage) was selected randomly using purposive sampling technique from Agartala City
of Tripura state. Their age ranges from 35years to 45years having more or less similar socio economic status and
educational background so as to maintain the homogeneity of sample.

Tool used for data collection:-The following scale was used for collecting data:
Emotional Maturity Scale: The scale is constructed by Dr. Yashvir Shing. It consistst of 48 statement. The
Scale measures five dimensions of emotional maturity. Namely; Emotional unstability, Emotional regression,
Social maladjustment, Personality disintegration, Lack of independence. In the scale positive and negative
statement is given. For positive statement score 5 is given for Very much, for much score 4 is given, for
undecided 3, for probably score 2 and for never score 1is to be awarded. For negative statement score 1 is given
for very much, 3 for undecided, 4 for probably and 5 for never to be awarded. The reliability of the scale was
determined by test-retest Method for each dimensions of the scale. It ranges from .42 to .75. The validity
coefficient of the scale was found to be .64.
Interview schedule:-A semi structured interview schedule was used to collect the demographic information and
other related personal data. In interview schedule some basic questions like respondent identification, family
history, health history, and family education history were asked.
Procedure of data collection:-
In the present study, the standardized tool was used for data collection. Initially, the selected subjects were
called in a small group of 4 to 6 subjects. Prior to actual administration of test, a rapport was established with
the subjects. Then the subjects were instructed according to the instructions led down by the author of the
test/scale. Ascertaining that, all the subjects cleared the instructions, the actual test was conducted with small
interval. Finally, the filled copies of test was collected and subjected for further procedure.
Statistical interpretation of the result:
In the present study an attempt had been made to search the emotional maturity level of the arranged marriage
couples. The emotional maturity scores are treated by descriptive statistics in the following table:
Table no 1: (Emotional maturity)
Group Statistics
Sex N Mean Std. Deviation
Emotional maturity 1 Male 30 83.30 24.67
2 Female 30 67.00 20.78
Observation of the table no 1. Indicates that the mean value of the two classified groups seems to differ from
each other on Emotional maturity measure. The mean value obtained by the group of arranged marriage male is
found to be 83.30 and corresponding SD is 24.67. The arranged marriage females have a mean of 67.00 with SD
20.78. The graphical representation of two classified groups on Emotional maturity measure has been shown in
the following table: table no A:

www.ijhssi.org 18 | P a g e
After inspection of the obtained values of the two classified groups it has been found that arranged
marriage males have greater mean value i.e. 83.30 from arranged marriage female. But the manual interpretation
of scores suggest that (50 to 80) means extremely emotionally mature and (81 to 88) means moderately
emotionally mature. So the mean result suggest that females have much more emotional maturity than male
persons. But on the basis of mean observation it would not be clear that whether these differences are really
significant or not. So to solve this problem the data was further treated by inferential statistics i.e. t test:
Independent Samples Test: table no 2:
Category t value df Level of significant
Arranged marriage 2.768 58 0.01%
Our computed Z value is 2.768. The critical value of z = 2.00 at 0.05 level of significance. And the critical value
of z = 2.66 at 0.01 level of significance. So the obtained result suggest that, our computed Z value is slightly
greater than the critical values required to reach 5% and 1% levels of significance respectively. So the null
hypothesis is rejected.
IV. DISCUSSION:
In the present investigation an attempt had been made to find out the differences between arranged
marriage male and arranged marriage female on emotional maturity measure.The first objective was to find out
the emotional maturity among arranged marriage male persons. The mean value obtained by the group of
arranged marriage male is found to be83.30. So the obtained result suggests that arranged marriage male have
moderate emotional maturity in their life. The second objective was to find out the emotional maturity among
arranged marriage female persons. The arranged marriage females have a mean of 67.00. The mean result
suggest that arranged marriage female have extreme emotional maturity in their life.The third objective was to
search the sex differences between arranged marriage couples with regards on their level of emotional maturity.
So in this connection in the emotional maturity data was treated by descriptive statistics it shows remarkable
differences were seen between two classified groups. To search the significance of differences when the same
data was treated by “t “ test, a significant difference was observed between arranged marriage males and
arranged marriage females. Hence the null hypothesis is rejected.
V. CONCLUSION:
1. Arranged marriage male persons are found to be moderately emotionally mature.
2. Arranged marriage female persons are found to be extremely emotionally mature .
3. The group of female arranged marriage persons found to be much more emotional mature as compared to
arranged marriage males.
Limitation of the study:The major limitation of this study was that the sample size was small. So it was not
sufficient for measuring the emotional maturity of the couples. If the sample size would be increased then the
result would be quite transparent.

A Study On Emotional Maturity Among… www.ijhssi.org 17 | P a g e Tool used for data collection:-The following scale was used for collecting data: Emotional Maturity Scale: The scale is constructed by Dr. Yashvir Shing. It consistst of 48 statement. The Scale measures five dimensions of emotional maturity. Namely; Emotional unstability, Emotional regression, Social maladjustment, Personality disintegration, Lack of independence. In the scale positive and negative statement is given. For positive statement score 5 is given for Very much, for much score 4 is given, for undecided 3, for probably score 2 and for never score 1is to be awarded. For negative statement score 1 is given for very much, 3 for undecided, 4 for probably and 5 for never to be awarded. The reliability of the scale was determined by test-retest Method for each dimensions of the scale. It ranges from .42 to .75. The validity coefficient of the scale was found to be .64. Interview schedule:-A semi structured interview schedule was used to collect the demographic information and other related personal data. In interview schedule some basic questions like respondent identification, family history, health history, and family education history were asked. Procedure of data collection:- In the present study, the standardized tool was used for data collection. Initially, the selected subjects were called in a small group of 4 to 6 subjects. Prior to actual administration of test, a rapport was established with the subjects. Then the subjects were instructed according to the instructions led down by the author of the test/scale. Ascertaining that, all the subjects cleared the instructions, the actual test was conducted with small interval. Finally, the filled copies of test was collected and subjected for further procedure. Statistical interpretation of the result: In the present study an attempt had been made to search the emotional maturity level of the arranged marriage couples. The emotional maturity scores are treated by descriptive statistics in the following table: Table no 1: (Emotional maturity) Group Statistics Sex N Mean Std. Deviation Emotional maturity 1 Male 30 83.30 24.67 2 Female 30 67.00 20.78 Observation of the table no 1. Indicates that the mean value of the two classified groups seems to differ from each other on Emotional maturity measure. The mean value obtained by the group of arranged marriage male is found to be 83.30 and corresponding SD is 24.67. The arranged marriage females have a mean of 67.00 with SD 20.78. The graphical representation of two classified groups on Emotional maturity measure has been shown in the following table: table no A:
  • 3. A Study On Emotional Maturity Among… www.ijhssi.org 18 | P a g e After inspection of the obtained values of the two classified groups it has been found that arranged marriage males have greater mean value i.e. 83.30 from arranged marriage female. But the manual interpretation of scores suggest that (50 to 80) means extremely emotionally mature and (81 to 88) means moderately emotionally mature. So the mean result suggest that females have much more emotional maturity than male persons. But on the basis of mean observation it would not be clear that whether these differences are really significant or not. So to solve this problem the data was further treated by inferential statistics i.e. t test: Independent Samples Test: table no 2: Category t value df Level of significant Arranged marriage 2.768 58 0.01% Our computed Z value is 2.768. The critical value of z = 2.00 at 0.05 level of significance. And the critical value of z = 2.66 at 0.01 level of significance. So the obtained result suggest that, our computed Z value is slightly greater than the critical values required to reach 5% and 1% levels of significance respectively. So the null hypothesis is rejected. IV. DISCUSSION: In the present investigation an attempt had been made to find out the differences between arranged marriage male and arranged marriage female on emotional maturity measure.The first objective was to find out the emotional maturity among arranged marriage male persons. The mean value obtained by the group of arranged marriage male is found to be83.30. So the obtained result suggests that arranged marriage male have moderate emotional maturity in their life.

The mean result suggest that arranged marriage female have extreme emotional maturity in their life.The third objective was to search the sex differences between arranged marriage couples with regards on their level of emotional maturity. So in this connection in the emotional maturity data was treated by descriptive statistics it shows remarkable differences were seen between two classified groups. To search the significance of differences when the same data was treated by “t “ test, a significant difference was observed between arranged marriage males and arranged marriage females. Hence the null hypothesis is rejected. V. CONCLUSION: 1. Arranged marriage male persons are found to be moderately emotionally mature. 2. Arranged marriage female persons are found to be extremely emotionally mature . 3. The group of female arranged marriage persons found to be much more emotional mature as compared to arranged marriage males. Limitation of the study:The major limitation of this study was that the sample size was small. So it was not sufficient for measuring the emotional maturity of the couples.
