Abstract
The aim of the present study is to explore the Interplay of Emotional Competency and Subjective Well-being in Young Adults: A Study in Tripura. The study was carried out among 160 young adults (College and University students) their age ranging 19 to 23 years. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample. The Subjective Well-being Inventory, developed by Sell and Nagpal in 1992, and the Emotional Competence Scale (ECS), developed by Bharadwaj and Sharma in 1998, was used to gather data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics like mean, standard deviation, t test, and correlation. The findings showed that there are notable differences between boys and girls in terms of both subjective well-being and emotional competence. Comparatively speaking, boys typically exhibit higher levels of emotional competence and subjective well-being than their peers. Additionally, it was discovered that there is a strong relationship between emotional competence and subjective well-being.
