Abstract

Children vary in their capabilities, talents, intelligence, cognitive aspects and potentials. These variations depend on a number of factors. Some are genetic and some may be due to the environment. Does the transfer of school from one school to another within a city any effect on children? Similarly, personnel working in a number of professions have to move from one place to another due to transfer. In these circumstances, their wards have to shift to a new school or in other words change of their
school. This may be due to change of place or change in the job/workplace or transfer of parent(s). Are these variations in the wards get affected by transferable jobs of the parents? Due to frequent transfers of Army personnel, the family also needs to shift, so the children. Each transfer exposes the child to different situations, conditions, school, peer group and environment. The present study is an attempt to investigate the change/ difference in Emotional Stability and Confidence Level of wards of Army personnel and also study with the wards of civil personnel in a comparative perspective. Normative Survey Method used to collect data on students of upper elementary level i.e., classes VI to VII of Army Public Schools and Public Schools located in Delhi and NCR.

The investigator used following standardized tools for data collection- (a) Self Confidence Inventory developed by Dr. Rekha Gupta (2013) (b) Emotional Stability Test for Students by Singh and Sengupta (2005) Statistical techniques used were Percentage Analysis.
