CHAPTER-IV

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

In this chapter the investigator presents the analysis and interpretation of results of the
data collected. The research topic is “A STUDY OF HOME ENVIRONMENT,
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION AND
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL
STUDENTS”.

The adolescents face many kinds of pressures at home and also outside. It is a well-
known fact that during adolescence a child goes through a lot of physical, emotional and
social changes which have an everlasting impact on his life. The purpose of the present
study is to analyze the impact of all the variables mentioned above among adolescents of
senior secondary school level and their inter relation and inter dependence on each other.
The investigator, being in educational field feels that teaching is not only concerned with
mental or cognitive ·development of the students, but also with the overall development
of students. So this study will be a help for teacher to understand his/her student
completely and maintain a cordial and sympathetic relationship with him / her which is a
prerequisite for a better teaching learning process. The present study will not only help
teachers but will also help the parents understand their children better and help them in
case they are under stress due to any of the dimensions of family. This study may add to
the knowledge of the parents in improving the student’s faith, confidence and emotions.

The data of 400 students has been analyzed by calculating coefficient of correlation
besides the descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation). A step wise multiple
regression has been carried out. ‘t’ test has been used to see significant difference
between the mean scores of rural and urban, male and female, government and private &
science and commerce students of Senior Secondary Schools. The obtained results are
given in tables below.

1
Hypothesis 1.1
There is no significant difference between home environment of government and
private senior secondary school students.

and private senior secondary school students

Comparison of t-value
For 0.05 level of significance, t -value (as per standard table) = 1.977
At degree of freedom (N1 + N2 -2) = 398
calculated t-value < table t-value
Result : not significant, null hypothesis is accepted

For 0.01 level of significance, t -value (as per standard table) = 2.611
At degree of freedom (N1 + N2 -2) = 398
calculated t-value < table t-value
Result : not significant, null hypothesis is accepted
A perusal of the table for Hypothesis 1.1 indicates that the mean score of home
environment of Government Senior Secondary School Students is 220.341 with
S.D. as 34.101, whereas, the mean score of home environment of Private Senior
Secondary School Students is 222.722 with S.D. as 42.24. The t-value comes out to
be 0.586 which is less than the table t-value even at significance levels of 0.05.
Therefore, in this sample, the calculated t-value is not significant and the null
hypothesis is accepted, which states: There is no significant difference between
home environment of government and private senior secondary school students.
