Abstract
In the last few years sports and health psychologist shows that adolescents and youth's levels of hostility, frustration and aggression is increasing day by day. Sports are the most important activities which enhance student's attention and energy in a healthy and fruitful direction. Challenges abound in competitive sports, thus youngsters introduced to them must have the necessary psychological traits, such as aggression and emotional intelligence, to effectively deal with these difficulties. The present study was planned to distinguish college students on emotional intelligence and aggression in relation to their sports activities (athletes & non-athletes). A purposive sample of 100 college students (50 athletes and 50 non-athletes were selected from different colleges in Haryana on the bases of availability. Emotional Intelligence Scale by Sharma and Sharma (2017) and Aggression Scale developed by Pal and Naqvi (1986) were used in the present study. To examine the group differences, t-test was computed and results showed that athlete college students were high on aggression than non-athletes college students. Athlete college students were only high on self-awareness, self-regulation and motivation (dimensions of emotional intelligence). Results of the study exhibited no significant difference between these two groups on overall emotional intelligence and its dimensions, i.e., empathy and social skills. Further, researchers also discussed study's implication and future recommendations.
