Abstract

Through our research we intend to emphasize on the emotional quotient and risk-taking ability of visually impaired individuals and ensure the necessary support for their contribution towards the nation. The attention has been given to the relationship between Emotional Quotient and Risk Taking, especially with regards to young adults in India. The aim to this research was to understand, the relationship between the risk-taking behavior and emotional intelligence among visually sighted and impaired young adults. The sample size was 120, through randomized sampling. The age group selected for this study was young adults that is between the ages of 17 to 25. The results show that the two groups differ noticeably in terms of risk-taking and related categories. However, there was no statistically significant difference observed in the realm of emotional intelligence.
