Abstract: Intergenerational division and disparity have always been part of human culture and is a complex concern between youth and their elders due to various factors like the technological advancements, perceptual differences, personal relations perspectives and cultural variations etc. in which the personal relations factor had more influence on the enhancement of children’s intrapersonal management skills. But there is scant focus on intrapersonal management all these years which had its influence and impact on the younger generations. The present study aims to explore the generational differences between the adolescent students and their parents on intra-personal management and its implications and recommendations in furtherance as there is imminent need to address their emotional imbalance, instant gratification, oppressive thoughts, weak adaptability, swaying moods, and such other issues that germane to the human inner life. The current study sample is comprised of 483 adolescent students and their parents numbering 422 through random sampling for the experimental study from Andhra Pradesh, India. The Intrapersonal management inventory had been re- adopted from Emotional intelligence Inventory of Mangal and Mangal (2015). The statistical parametric measures of Means, S.d’s,‘t’- values and ‘p’- values were used to analyse the results. The results of the study revealed that there is significant variance in the intrapersonal management between one generation (students) to the yester generation (parents) with t-value of 6.452 at p-value of 0.000 and the students low intrapersonal management score as against their counter group warrants interventional strategies for the corrective action to step-up the intrapersonal management skills of the adolescents.
