Project Abstract

This project aims to explore the connection between emotional intelligence (EI) and the academic performance of university students. Emotional intelligence, a critical aspect of an individual's overall intelligence, has gained increasing attention in recent years as a significant predictor of success in various domains, including academic achievement. Understanding the relationship between EI and academic performance can provide valuable insights into the factors that contribute to student success and inform the development of targeted interventions and support programs. The project will employ a quantitative research approach, utilizing survey-based data collection and statistical analysis to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic performance. A sample of university students will be recruited to participate in the study, and they will be asked to complete a standardized emotional intelligence assessment and provide information about their academic performance, such as grade point average (GPA) or other relevant academic indicators. The study will examine the extent to which different dimensions of emotional intelligence, such as self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, are associated with academic performance. Additionally, the project will explore the potential mediating or moderating effects of other variables, such as gender, age, field of study, or socioeconomic status, on the relationship between EI and academic achievement. The findings of this project are expected to have significant implications for both academic institutions and students. By understanding the connection between emotional intelligence and academic performance, universities can develop and implement targeted programs and interventions to enhance students' emotional competencies, which may lead to improved academic outcomes. This knowledge can also empower students to recognize the importance of developing their emotional intelligence and to adopt strategies to foster these skills, ultimately contributing to their academic success and overall well-being. Moreover, the project's findings may inform the development of educational policies and curricula that incorporate the cultivation of emotional intelligence as an integral component of the academic experience. By prioritizing the development of emotional skills alongside traditional academic skills, universities can better prepare students for the multifaceted challenges they will face in their personal and professional lives. In conclusion, this project represents a crucial step in understanding the complex relationship between emotional intelligence and academic performance among university students. The insights gained from this study have the potential to significantly impact the way educational institutions support and empower their students, ultimately contributing to the holistic development and success of the next generation of scholars and leaders.
