The article has three main hypotheses. The first two are based on prior research and the research aimed at supporting the findings of the previous researchers. The first hypothesis was stress in college students is negatively correlated to overall life satisfaction. The second hypothesis was that there would be a positive correlation between life satisfaction and emotional intelligence. The third hypothesis was that life satisfaction would be predicted by interaction of emotional intelligence and stress, in that if stress were high and emotional intelligence low, the life satisfaction of the student would be low. It is predicted that when emotional intelligence is high and stress is low, life satisfaction would be highest (Holinka, 2015, p. 304).The variables of the study were life satisfaction, stress levels, and emotional intelligence amongst college students. The researchers aimed to study the effect and correlation between the stress levels of students in an attempt to establish if there was any correlation between the three variables. From the first hypothesis, the researchers would be interested in establishing if there is a positive or negative correlation between stress levels and life satisfaction. The second hypothesis would establish if there is a correlation...
Finally, the researchers would determine if there was a correlation between the three variables.
The researchers utilized the correlational research method. This is because they were testing to see if an increase in one variable would have an increase in another variable. For instance, the increase in stress and lowering of emotional intelligence would result in a low life satisfaction. Making use of the correlation method allows the researchers to manipulate the data by increasing one variable and lowering another variable to establish positive or negative correlation. Correlations only predict relationships and they cannot be used to predict cause and effect. This was beneficial to this study in order to ensure there was a validity of the results.
All participants were students who had enrolled in an Introduction to Psychology course. There were 144 students, but only 135 students completed all items on the online survey. Out of the 135 students, only 81 were selected to participate in the study who comprised of 61 females and 20 males (Holinka, 2015, p. 305).
The results of the study were presented in tabular and graphical methods within the article. From the study it was established that…
These factors were used to develop the Emotional Intelligence portion of the study. The study encompassed all four of these skill areas, placing equal weight on all four factors. Assumptions and Limitations As with any survey-based study, there are several assumptions and limiting factors that may effect the results obtained. Self-reporting surveys can be criticized for their inability to measure the honesty of the test subject. It is assumed that the test
In other words Emotional Intelligence means that the individual is capable of: (1) Accurately perceiving emotions in oneself and others; (2) Uses emotions to facilitate thinking; (3) Understands emotional meanings; and (4) Manages emotions well. This model is referred to as the 'ability' model of emotional intelligence. (Mayer & Salovey, 1997) DANIEL GOLEMAN-PERSONAL & SOCIAL COMPETENCE Daniel Goleman proposed the model of emotional intelligence based on the Personal and Social competencies
This is however not entirely the case. Working in physical isolation does not mean that there is no need for effective communication. Indeed, communication in such a case becomes even more important, as the lack of a physical workplace creates extra reliance upon communication. Workers still have to communicate with supervisors and customers, even if this is only in the virtual environment. Providing services to human customers will then
Graduate Employability Once each student graduates from the various colleges and training institutions, it is their expectations that they will be able to either get gainful employment that is equivalent to their academic and training levels and one that is sustainable. If the graduates will not be able to get the gainful employment, then it is hoped that they should be able to create employment as the contemporary trends are. There
These studies show that while EI is being integrated into the British educational policy, many concrete steps still have to be taken to make full use of EI skills. Evidence in favor of Emotional Literacy There is growing scholarly evidence that shows definitive links between higher emotional intelligence (EI) and overall success in life. For instance, Rubin (1999) in his study found that students with high EI skills are less likely
Emotional development is a critical aspect of human growth, encompassing the processes by which individuals learn to recognize, express, regulate, and understand their own emotions as well as those of others. From early childhood through adolescence and into adulthood, emotional development is a dynamic, complex journey integral to personal well-being and interpersonal success (Saarni, 1999). The roots of emotional development can be traced back to infancy, where basic emotional expressions such
