Hypothesis There is no significant relationship in aggression and spiritual intelligence of B.Ed. Teacher Trainees. 5. Method Of Investigation Present study is descriptive in nature Both test Aggression Scale and Spiritual intelligence selfreport inventory will be administrated to the selected sample in group setting. I. Sample College wise distribution of 200 teacher trainees both males and female drawn from 8 different B.Ed. College of Ludhiana district. II. Tools used for the study i.)

3 Frequency 6. Analysis And Interpretation Before persisting the actual analysis of data and discussion of results pertaining to the hypothesis, it was deemed desirable to describe the nature of distribution of scores of aggression and spiritual intelligence B.Ed. Teacher Trainees so as to ensure whether the condition of basic assumptions implicit to some of the statistically techniques employed here was fulfilled. The description of score are presented in measures of mean, median, mode, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis in the table 1 and figure 1. Table 1: Frequency distribution of score of Aggression of the total sample (N=200) Class interval Mid Point Frequency Total 200 Table 1.2: The table is showing mean, median, mode, standard deviation skewness and kurtosis of scores of aggression of the total sample. (200) Mean Median Mode SD Skewness Kurtosis Table 1.2 shows that the value of mean, median, mode, of total score, (N=200) of Aggression among Teacher Trainees are , , respectively, which show that distribution is approximately normal. The value of skewness and kurtosis are and.223. This curve is positively skewed and Platykurtic. Standard deviation of the total aggression variable is Total trend of the aggression is also revealed in graphical representation Class Interval Figure 1: Frequency Polygon depicting score of Aggression of the total sample (N=200) 1240

5 7. Coefficient Of Correlation As the present study is intended to find out the relationship of aggression of B.Ed. Teacher Trainees Spiritual Intelligence Pearson s product moment correlation technique was employed. Table 3: It deals with the coefficient of correlation between AGGRESSION and SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE of the total sample (N=200) S. No. Variable Sample Coefficient of Level of significance Correlation (r) 1. Aggression 200 At 0.05 level not significant 2. Spiritual Intelligence At 0.01 level not significant Value significant at 0.05 level at Value significant at 0.01 level at r = coefficient of correlation between Aggression and Spiritual Intelligence of B.Ed. Teacher Trainees. Table 3 shows the value of coefficient of correlation (r) between aggression and spiritual intelligence is which is non-significant at 0.01 and 0.05 level. In other words, Aggression and Spiritual Intelligence of Teacher Trainees are not related to each other. Hence, hypothesis Stated that There is no significant relation between aggression and spiritual Intelligence among B.Ed. Teacher Trainees is accepted. 8.
