Emotional Stability Among Prospective Teachers

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the Emotional Stability of prospective teachers, examining its correlation with various variables such as Gender (Male, Female), Specialization (Arts, Science) and Locality (Rural, Urban). The Emotional Stability Questionnaire (ESQ), developed by Psy-Com Services in 1995, served as the tool for this investigation. The research sample comprised 300 student teachers from the Tiruchirapalli District in Tamil Nadu. The findings indicated that, overall, the Emotional Stability level of prospective teachers was moderate. Furthermore, the study revealed no significant difference in mean scores of Emotional Stability based on Gender. However, a significant difference was observed concerning Specialization and Locality.
