The study's emotional intelligence and mental health assessments relied on instruments developed by Drs. Arun kumar and Suraksha pal and Dr.(smt.) Kamlesh Sharma. The participants' ages ranged from 18 to 20 (N=100). Purposeful random selection was used to collect female undergraduates from different degree colleges in Ara city and New Delhi.
