A Comparative Study on Social Competency of Adolescents Living with and Without Grandparents

Abstract

As we become older, we learn specific social skills from others who enter our lives and try to teach us about it. Social competency and adolescence (12-19y) go hand in hand; it is the skill that helps us build and maintain greater ties with one another.  There are occasionally young people who do not have the chance to grow or retain their social skills. To learn more about what educates an adolescent to be socially and emotionally competent in various situations, we sought an explanation for why we had chosen this issue. This study’s goal is to evaluate and compare the level of social competency among adolescents living with and without grandparents The Social Competency Scale, created by Punita Rani and Latika Sharma, was taken. The sample size was set to 86. Chi-square test was used to analyze the categorical variables. The findings indicated that both the adolescents living with/without grandparents have comparable social skills.
