Abstract

If we are able to understand the personality traits of children at an early age, compared to adults, we can easily deal with their emotional disturbances because as the age increases, certain personality traits may become philosophy of life. Comparatively, to prevent and to deal with emotional disturbances it is easy to identify and deal with the personality structure of children. Mental health of children is just as important as their physical health. Good mental health allows children and young people to develop the resilience to cope with life and grow into well rounded and healthy adults. With this perspective, the present study tries to find out the relationship between Confidence, Sociability, Neurotic tendency and Mental health. It was hypothesized that Confidence and Sociability would be positively correlated with mental health and Neurotic tendency would be negatively correlated with Mental Health. Researchers have used the tool Vyaktitva Shodhika (a personality inventory) by Dr. U. Khire (JPIP,Pune). Sample size was 100 (N= 100, 50 boys/50girls). Pearson product moment correlation was applied. The entire three hypotheses were accepted. The present study may provide a good support to inculcate emotional-management programs for higher secondary school going children.
