The present study assessed and compared the emotional maturity of adolescents in orphanages, single parent families and intact families. The sample comprised of 300 respondents in the age group of 14-16 years, from the four selected cities of Punjab (Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, & Hoshiarpur). 100 school going adolescents were picked from the selected orphanages and 100 adolescents were selected under both single parent families and intact families from the government schools. The sample was equally distributed across both the genders (50 each). Emotional maturity of adolescents was assessed by administering Emotional Maturity Scale. The study revealed that overall, more numbers of orphans were found emotionally immature. Adolescents living with intact families were significantly more emotionally progressed, socially adjusted, independent and overall analysis also showed that they were more emotionally mature. In order to cultivate emotional maturity of adolescents, parents or care takers should try to become a good and effective listener, avoid comparisons, teach the problem solving skills and model a good behavior in front of adolescents.Keywords

The well-being of an individual in a society can be improved by his or her social development. Social development is a process in which an individual develops into a functioning member of the group. Positive social development plays a very important role among adolescents. It may influence adolescents' empathy, self-confidence, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships, and also gives a sense of importance and value to those around him/her (Help Me Grow, 2023). Adolescents may especially need social help so that they can handle new demands in school and social life. Empowerment of their social well-being is one way to help them navigate these difficulties. Adolescents face unique stressors, including social challenges that can cause conflict in their personal lives and overall functioning. These stressors may finally lead to physical, mental and emotional illness. Empowering social well-being can help to increase the ability of adolescents to cope and make it easier to deal with encountered stressors. Social development also reflects the ability of an individual to form close, secure relationships with parents, relatives, and other nurturing caregivers. Therefore, this article would be helpful in understanding the role and importance of social development among adolescents that enables an individual to have and maintain positive interactions with others.Keywords
