Chapter IV 4.0Analysis And Interpretation Of The Data In this chapter, the analysis of the data of two hundred chess and non chess players of Hyderabad has been analysed.for this study 200 samples were selected from Hyderabad. Among them 100 are chess players and 100 non-chess players (Volleyball and Handball) among them 50 male and 50 female players. First type of players and gender was influenced by general mental ability were examined in the study. s and standard deviations obtained by the four classified groups on the measure of general mental ability are given in table 1. The four classified groups were the same, which were classified on the basis of two independent variables namely by types of players and Gender. Table:1 showing the and Standard Deviation of Chess Players and Non Chess Players on General Mental Ability Factor Group A1B1 A1B2 A2B1 A2B2 General Mental Ability 81.48 68.14 79.52 57.98 S.D. 3.84 2.38 5.5 7.57 SE 0.54 0.76 0.78 1.07 A = Type of Players B = Gender A1 = Chess A2 = Non-Chess B1 = Male B2 = Female 160

This shows that the Chess Players are having good mental ability where compared to non chess players. The Table-1 and figure showing the Standard Deviation Mental ability of Chess Male Players is 3.84 and Chess Female Players is 2.38 compare to Standard Deviation Mental ability of Non Chess Male Players mental ability is 5.5 and Non Chess female Players is 7.57. 161
The Table-1 and figure showing the Standard Error of Mental ability of Chess Male Players and Chess Female Players compared to Standard Error of Mental ability of Non Chess Male Players mental ability of 0.78 and Non Chess female Players of 1.07 Table No. 2 :Computation of Two Way ANOVA for General Mental Ability Source of variation SS Df MS F P A : Type of Players 15207.68 1 15207.68 463.57 <.01 B : Gender 1836.18 1 1836.18 55.97 <.01 A X B 840.5 1 840.5 25.62 <.01 Error 6429.96 196 32.81 Total 24314.32 199 From Table -2 it is evident that the calculated F-ratio was highly significant in respect of General Mental ability among Chess Players and Non Chess Players at 0.05 level of confidence. It is also seen that Male and Female Chess Players differs when compare to Male and Female Non Chess Players, which refers to the factor gender. It was varied at two levels i.e. male players and female players. of male Chess players is 81.48 and female chess players is 68.14 and of male non chess players is 79.52 and female non chess players is 57.98. Hence Male and Female Chess Players are having significant difference in general mental ability compared to Non Male and Female Chess Players. 162

This indicates that Chess Players are having good Self Confidence compared to Non Chess Players. The Table-3 and figure showing the Standard Deviation on Self Confidence of Chess Male Players of 0.88 and Chess Female Players is 1.1 compared to Standard Deviation on Mental ability of Non Chess Male Players is 1.64 and Non Chess female Players is 0.24.The Table-3 and figure showing the Standard Error on Self Confidence of Chess Male Players was 0.12 and Chess Female Players was 0.16 compared to Standard Error of Self Confidence of Non Chess Male Players self confidence of 0.23 and Non Chess female Players was 0.24 164
Table No. 4 Tabulation of Two Way Anova in respect of Self confidence among Chess Players and Non Chess Players Source of variation SS Df MS F P A : Type of Players 1990.81 1 1990.81 1057.74 <.01 B : Gender 447.01 1 447.01 237.5 <.01 A X B 0.04 1 0.04 0.02 NS Error 368.9 196 1.88 Total 2806.76 199 Table 3 shows that the calculated value of two way anova (f-ratio) was highly significant in respect of self confidence among male chess players and female chess players. The Table no. 4, it is seen that main effect A is highly significant main effect A refers to the factor Types of players. It was varied at two levels i.e. chess players and non-chess players. Since the main effect A is highly significant F (1,196) = 1057.74, p <.01. Null hypothesis has rejected as there was significant differences on self confidence and Mental ability among Male chess Players and Female Chess Players. From the summary and table no.4, it is seen that main effect B is highly significant main effect A refers to the factor gender. It was varied at two levels i.e. male players and female players. of male players was 24.12 and female players mean was 17.81 Since the main effect A is highly significant F (1,196) = 237.5, p <.01. 165
4.1 Testing of Hypotheses: 1.It was hypothesized that there is a significant difference among Chess Players and Non Chess Players.The chess players are having high Mental ability compare to non Chess Players. This hypothesis of the study is accepted since the conclusions clearly brings out the difference among Chess players and non chess players in Mental ability. 2.It was hypothesized that there is a s significant difference between Male players and Female players dimension on general mental ability among Chess Players and Non Chess Players. This Hypothesis of the study is accepted since the conclusions clearly brings out the difference among Male Chess Players and Female Non Chess Players. 3.It was hypothesized that there is a significant difference among Chess Players and Non Chess Players in self confidence. The chess players are having high Self Confidence compare to non Chess Players. This hypothesis of the study is accepted since the conclusions clearly brings out the difference among Chess players and non chess players in self confidence. 4. It was hypothesized that there is a s significant difference between Male players and Female players dimension in self confidence among Chess Players and Non Chess Players. This Hypothesis of the study is accepted since the conclusions clearly brings out the difference among Male Chess Players and Female Non Chess Players in self confidence. 166
