A correlational study was carried out to find gender differences among male and female performers from Rambo circus ,Pune ; on emotional intelligence and self esteem and also to study the two concepts among the performers. Incidental Sample of 40 (20 male and 20 female) performers age between 25-35 yrs and those belonging to various activities in the circus were selected. Statistics used were ‘t’ value and Pearson correlation to study the hypotheses that female performers will be higher on emotional intelligence than the male performers in the circus, male and female performers do not differ on measures of self esteem, higher the emotional intelligence, higher will be the self esteem among female performers. Higher the emotional intelligence, higher will be the self esteem among male performers and there is no significant correlation between emotional intelligence and self esteem. Tools used in the study were The Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) and Rosenberg’s Self Esteem Scale. The two nonsignificant ‘t’ value for emotional intelligence among male and female performers and for self esteem indicates that there are no gender differences on EI and SE . A very low positive correlation(r= .25) between self esteem and emotional intelligence among male and female performers, a very low negative correlation ( r=-.07) between high scorer female performers, a high positive correlation (r=.68) between average scorer a low positive correlation (r = .34) between average scorer females, a low negative correlation (r= -.24)between high scorer males, and a high positive correlation(r=.96) between high scorer females on emotional intelligence and their self esteem is found.
