Abstract

The substantive purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Test Anxiety among adolescent students studying in Mumbai. There are a lot of studies conducted on Emotional Intelligence and Test Anxiety but the gap identified by the researcher was to study the variables in a particular city and establish deeper analysis.
