DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

This chapter deals with analysis and interpretation of data to study the effectiveness of assertiveness training programme on the level of self esteem among adolescents at selected school. The result findings have been tabulated and interpreted according to plan for data analysis. The data collected from 60 samples were grouped and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results are presented under the following.

Section B: Distribution of subjects according to level of self esteem among adolescents before and after training programme.

Section C: Comparison of effectiveness of assertive training programme on the level of Self esteem among adolescents in experimental group and wait listed control group.

Section D: Association between the level of self esteem among adolescents with selected demographic variables.

SECTION B

Table 2: Distribution of subjects according to their level of self esteem before and after

Assertiveness training among adolescents.

(N=60)

Table 2 shows that distribution of subjects according to the level of self esteem before and after assertiveness training among adolescents. In that, mean value of level of self esteem before assertiveness training in experimental group was 52.06 & in control group it was 53.96 and also the mean value of level of self esteem after assertiveness training in experimental group post test 1 and post test 2 was 79.8 & 74.83 , and in control group it was 55.13

SECTION C

Table 3 : Comparison of mean pre test value of level of self esteem among adolescents in Experimental Group and Wait Listed Control Group.

(N=60)

NS –Not significant

Table 3 describes that obtained independent ‘t’ value for the mean difference in pre test level of self esteem between experimental and control group is 1.213 and it is not statistically significant at 0.05 level, hence there is no significant difference exist between level of self esteem among experimental and control group and also shows that both the groups were homogenous before giving assertiveness training.

Table 4 : Comparison of mean post test value of level of self esteem among adolescents in

Experimental Group and Control Group.(N=60)

** Significant at .001 level

Table 4 describes that obtained independent ‘t’ value for the mean difference in post test 1 and post test 2 level of self esteem between experimental and control group is 19.640 & 10.982 and it is statistically significant at 0.05 level, hence there is significant difference exist between post test 1 and post test 2 level of self esteem among experimental and control group after receiving assertiveness training.

Table 5 : Comparison of mean Pre and Post test level of self esteem among adolescents in Experimental Group (N=30)

** Significant at 0.001 level

Table 5 depicts that obtained paired ‘t’ value for the mean difference in Pre, Post test1& Post test 2 level of self esteem in Experimental group is 16.181 & 10.694 and it is statistically significant at 0.05 level, hence there is significant difference exist between pre and post test level of self esteem among Experimental group after receiving assertiveness training.

Table 6 : Comparison of mean Pre and Post test level of self esteem among adolescents in Wait listed Control Group. (N=30)

Table 6 depicts that obtained paired ‘t’ value for the mean difference in Pre and Post test level of self esteem in Control group is 1.125 and it is not statistically significant at 0.05 level, hence there is no significant difference exist between pre and post test level of self esteem among adolescents in Wait Listed Control group.

in Wait Listed Control Group

Table 7 : Comparison of mean post test value of level of self esteem in different period of time among adolescents in Experimental Group (N=30)

** Significant at .01 level

Table 7 revealed that obtained paired ‘t’ value for the mean difference in post test value of level of self esteem in different period of time (immediate, one month after) among adolescents in Experimental Group is 2.43 and it is statistically significant at 0.05 level, hence there is significant improvement in level of self esteem among adolescents in different period of time ( immediate, one month after) in experimental group.

SECTION D:

Table no: 8- Association between post-test level of self esteem among adolescents with demographic variables in Experimental Group & Wait listed control group (N=60)

* Significant at 0.01 level

NS – Not significant

Table 8 reveals that the calculated chi square test value for level of self esteem with demographic variables such as age, sex, religion, residency, type of family, father’s education, father’s occupation and annual income in experimental group.

It also shows that there is no significant association exist between the level of self esteem with demographic variables such as age, sex, religion, residency, type of family, father’s education, father’s occupation, annual income and academic performance in wait listed control group.
