Emotional maturity can be determined by an individual's ability to control a situation (Deepika & Lata, 2017). Emotional maturity is a determinant of effective personality patterns, but helps to control the growth of an individual's developers (Kaur, 2019). Emotional maturity is an important character in a student's behavior. Emotional maturity is an important element that should be present in every individual, student said.
