Abstract

ARTICLE INFORMATION ABSTRACT Introduction Philosophers, psychologists, and poets have been captivated by adolescence and youth for a considerable amount of time, dating back to the beginning of human civilization. The scientific approach to the objective study of adolescence is very recent, nonetheless. Scholars began conducting scientific and empirical research on the many facets of human development over a century ago, with a focus on the teenage stage of life. Most of the developmental psychologists and human behavior analysts agree that two important developmental tasks to be performed during adolescent period of human life are-(a) Formation of Ego-identity and (b) Inculcation of values. Erik H. Erikson is credited with putting up a compelling and all-encompassing psycho-social developmental stage theory that covers all aspect of human existence. Erikson, a Neo-Freudian, created and popularized the term "ego-identity," which is a manifestation of the likelihood of successfully resolving the sixth life crisis, intimacy vs. isolation, and the culmination of the degree to which the first five crises have been resolved. When the fifth life crisis-Identity vs. Role Confusion-is resolved, ego-identity ultimately manifests. The degree to which the first five life crises can be successfully resolved primarily depends on  Rearing up practices and look-after of the new born baby by the biological parents or care taken since birth onwards.  Socialization in and outside the family during infancy and onwards.  Quality of schooling during childhood and adolescent period of human life. Empirical research on the settlement of various life crises and the development of "ego-identity" has been carried out in the majority of nations for more than 60 years. The importance of the psycho-social developmental stage theory, which was put forth by Erik H. Erikson in the sixth decade of the twentieth century, is strongly established by this interest.

Ego-identity, Emotional
Intelligence and Birth
Order.
This research explores the relationship between Ego-identity and
Emotional Intelligence among adolescent students, based on Erik Erikson's
psychosocial development theory. The study aims to identify the
characteristics of adolescents with strong and weak ego-identity, with a
particular focus on emotional intelligence, academic achievement, sex,
academic stream, and birth order. The research investigates how
emotional intelligence and other variables di)er between these two
groups. The study's *ndings underscore the importance of Ego-identity in
adolescent development and its signi*cant role in identity formation. It
provides valuable insights for educators, psychologists, and researchers
interested in enhancing the emotional and social development of
adolescents, particularly in fostering a strong sense of ego-identity for
overall psychological well-being.
