RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDY INVOLVEMENT AND AFFECT INTENSITY OF B.Ed. COLLEGE TEACHER TRAINEES

Abstract
The present study aims to explore the relationship between affect intensity and study involvement of
B.Ed. college teacher trainees. Since it is a fact-finding expedition, the survey method was adopted by the investigator.
The samples for this investigation were taken from the students studying in six colleges of education (B.Ed.
College) in Thanjavur district. Special attention was given to such factors as gender, locality, and educational
qualification. 150 B.Ed. college teacher trainees were taken for this investigation as a sample by a simple random
sampling technique. Study Involvement Inventory by Bhatnagar (1982) and Affect Intensity Measure (AIM) by
Larsen (1984) was used to collect the data. To analyze the data mean, standard deviation, t’ test, and correlation
analysis were used as statistical techniques. The findings show that (i) there is no significant difference between
male and female B.Ed. college teacher trainees in their study involvement, (ii) there is no significant difference
between male and female B.Ed. college teacher trainees in their affect intensity, and (iii) there is a significant
relationship between affect intensity and study involvement of B.Ed. college teacher trainees.
