Abstract:
The study was aimed to compare Kho-Kho and Kabaddi players on two psychological constructs: Self-esteem and Emotional intelligence. Two validated questionnaires were administered on the total of 50 players, 25 each from Kho-Kho and Kabaddi. Unpaired t-test was run to find out the mean differences on each parameter. Both groups showed significant differences on Self-esteem and emotional intelligence along with its sub-scales except Managing emotions. However, overall emotional intelligent varied significantly (p<.05). It was found that Kabaddi players were having better Self-esteem whereas Kho-Kho players were more emotionally intelligent than their counterparts.
