It is also true that our behaviour is constantly influenced by the emotional maturity level that we possess. Especially, the adolescents who are observed to be highly emotional in their dealings need to be studied. Emotions are great motivating forces throughout the span of human life; affecting aspirations, actions and thoughts of an individual. Adolescents is a period when the behaviour getting influenced highly by the emotions. Emotional maturity can be understood in terms of ability of self control which in turn is result of thinking and learning. People with achievement motives are motivated by standards of excellence, delineated roles and responsibilities and concrete, timely feedback. And the power motive is activated when people are allowed to have an impact, impress those in power, or beat competitors. The present study objective is to study the Impact of Working and Non-working Mothers on the Emotional Maturity and Achievement Motivation of Adolescents.For this research, 60 adolescents (30 adolescents of working mothers and 30 adolescents of non-working) from the age range of 12 to 17 years were randomly selected from the public schools of Delhi and NCR Region.The results reported no significant difference between emotional maturity and achievement motivation of adolescents of working and non-working mothers and no gender difference was also found between the two.
