ABSTRACT

The main objective of this study was to compare problematic social behavioural skills among adolescent player and non player boys. The sample of this study was chosen to fulfil the major objective of this work. 50 player boys in their early adolescence were selected. The age range of these subjects in their early adolescence was 13 to 15 years. Those school-going boys in their early adolescence period with participation in district level sports participation were selected. Apart from this, 50 non-player boys in their early adolescence were also selected. The age range of these subjects in their early adolescence was 13 to 15 years. The chosen adolescent player boys average age was 14.11 years while the average age of adolescent non-players boys was 14.21 years. To select 100 school-going boys purposive sampling was used. Social skills problem behaviour checklist compiled and standardized by Madhu Mathur and Saroj Arora (2005) was thought suitable for this study. Results indicate about lower problematic social behavioural skills in adolescent player boys as compared to adolescent non player boys. It was concluded that problematic social behavivour skills in adolescent can be managed by ensuring their involvement in competitive sports.
