Abstract
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand the emotion of self as well as being empathetic towards the feelings of the people around us. A person who has the right balance of Brain and emotions can be called as Emotionally Intelligent.
Women of the society are called the marginalized group because they have been considered of less importance and often ignored in decision-making process. The women of rural India have little access to good quality education or job opportunities due to patriarchal mind set of the society. With the onset of 21st century, the tables have been turning slowly and steadily, it is being seen that women if given proper opportunity are excelling in various fields of the society.
Secondary education is the phase in the education continuum responsible for the development of the young during their adolescence, the most rapid phase of their physical, mental and emotional growth. Emotional intelligence and creativity are main parts of human behavior and these help the individual in making their lives successful. A creative individual looks at thinks with different view point and emotional intelligence may act as a moderator in the effect of cognitive skill on academic performance.
The present study is an attempt to examine the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and creativity of female students of secondary schools with particular emphasis on the impact of Emotional Intelligence on creativity of the female students.
