The study was conducted on 400 subjects in which 200 players (M&F) and 200 non players (M&F) were selected as a sample. All the selected players represented in at least intervarsity level tournament, while the non players had not played in any games. The age of the sample ranged from 18-25 years and all the samples selected from random basis. Personality dimensions of selected subjects was assessed by PEN inventory developed by B.J. Eysenck’s has been preferred, while emotional intelligence of the subjects was assessed by emotional intelligence inventory prepared by S.K. Mangal & Shubhra Mangal (1995) was adopted. To find out the relationship between personal dimensions with emotional intelligence of players and non-players, Pearson’s product movement method was used. The result found that, Personality dimensions of players and non players have shown significant relationship with Emotional Intelligence . KEY WORDS: Personality Dimensions, Emotional Intelligence, Players & Non-Players (M & F) etc. INTRODUCTION: Psychoticism is one of the three traits used by the psychologist Hans Eysenck in his PE-N model (psychoticism, extraversion and neuroticism) model of personality. Psychoticism refers to a personality pattern typified by aggressiveness and interpersonal hostility. High levels of this trait were believed by Eysenck to be linked to increased vulnerability to psychosis such as schizophrenia. He also believed that blood relatives of psychotics would show high levels of this trait, suggesting a genetic basis to the trait. The EI model introduced by Daniel Goleman, focuses on EI as a wide array of competencies and skills that drive managerial performance, measured by multirater assessment and self-assessment (Bradberry and Greaves, 2005). In Working with Emotional Intelligence (1998), Goleman explored the function of EI on the job, 1

and claimed EI to be the strongest predictor of success in the workplace, with more recent confirmation of these findings on a worldwide sample seen in Bradberry and Greaves, "The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book" (2005). Goleman's model outlines four main EI constructs: Self-awareness - the ability to read one's emotions and recognize their impact while using gut feelings to guide decisions. Self-management - involves controlling one's emotions and impulses and adapting to changing circumstances. Social awareness - the ability to sense, understand, and react to other's emotions while comprehending social networks. Relationship management - the ability to inspire, influence, and develop others while managing conflict. METHODOLOGY: A total of 400 subjects in which 200 players & 200 non players were selected as a sample. All the selected players represented in at least intervarsity level tournament, while the non players had not played in any games. The average age of the selected sample was 21.5 years. Personality dimensions of selected subjects was assessed by PEN inventory developed by B.J. Eysenck’s has been preferred, To assess emotional intelligence of selected subject’s , emotional intelligence inventory prepared by S.K. Mangal & Shubhra Mangal (1995) was used. This inventory is highly reliable & valid. To find out the relationship between personality dimensions with emotional intelligence of players and non-players, Pearson’s Product Movement Method was used. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Table No. 1 Showing relationship between Personality Dimensions i.e. Extraversion, Neuroticism and L-Score with Emotional Intelligence (N=400) Emotional Intelligence Psychoticism Extraversion Neuroticism L-Score *Significant at .05 level,

-0.4670** 0.2267** -0.4321** 0.2147** ** Significant at .01 level

From table no. 1 in the case of the initial sample of 400 between personality dimensions and emotional intelligence scores are statistically significant. The psychoticism personality dimension has shown significant negative relationship with emotional intelligence. Extraversion has shown significant positive relationship beyond .01 level with emotional intelligence. The neuroticism personality dimension has shown negative significant relationship at .01 levels 2

Table No. 3 Showing relationship between Personality Dimensions i.e. Extraversion, Neuroticism and L-Score with Emotional Intelligence in a group of NonPlayer Females (N=100) Emotional Intelligence Psychoticism Extraversion Neuroticism L-Score *Significant at .05 level,

-0.6351** 0.0943 -0.4298** 0.2957** ** Significant at .01 level

From table no. 3 reveals that non player’s female has shown significant negative relationship between psychoticism personality dimension and emotional intelligence. The relationship between neuroticism personality dimensions and emotional intelligence has been turned out to be statistically negative. The L-score dimension has shown significant relationship beyond .01 level with emotional 3
