Abstract

This research investigates the psychological dimensions of emotional maturity among youth and its critical intersection with health-related behaviors Emotional maturity is conceptualized not merely as the expression of affect, but as the capacity for self-regulation, scrial adaptability, and the logical management of environmental stressors The study specifically explores whether demographic variables, such as gender and geographical residency, yield significant variances in the emotional development of young adults. A survey-based experimental design was implemented involving a stratified random sample Of 120 participants from the Gandhinagar district, The cohort was equally distributed between urban (N=60) and rural (N=60) areas, with balanced gender representation (30 males and 30 females per group). Participants "ere evaluated using the Emotional Maturity Scale developed by Singh and Bhargava. Quantitative data "ere analyzed through Mean, Standard Deviation, and independent samples t•tests to assess the validity of the null hypotheses. The statistical findings revealed no significant difference in emotional maturity between male and female youth in urban environments. Similarly, gender-based comparisons in rural settings demonstrated no statistically significant variance. Consequently, both null hypotheses were accepted, indicating that emotional maturity levels remain relatively consistent across gender and regional lines within the studied population, The study concludes that fostering emotional maturity is essential for enhancing psychological resilience, improving decision-making, and mitigating the negative impacts of digital challenges such as social media-induced anxiety and cognitive fragmentation,
