Abstract:

The present study was designed to determine social maturity among male national players, inter-school players and non-players. To obtain data for this study, the investigator had randomly selected three hundred (N=300) males from different schools of Chandigarh. They were further divided into three categories i.e. (A) hundred (n=100) national players, (B) hundred (n=100) inter-school players and (C) hundred (n=100) non-players. The age of the subjects was ranged between 15-18 years (class 9th-12th). Social maturity was assessed by applying Social Maturity Scale developed by Rao (1986). One was analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied to find out the significant differences among male national players, inter-school players and non-players. Where F-value was found significant, Least Significant Difference (LSD) Post-hoc test was applied to find out the direction and significance of differences. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The results showed significant differences among male national players, inter-school players and non-players with regard to the variable social maturity. While calculating the mean values, it has been observed that national players demonstrated significantly better social maturity as compared their counterpart inter-school players and non-players. Similarly, male inter-school players also showed significantly better social maturity than their counterpart male non-players.
