Keywords:
Emotional intelligence, gender differences, academic performance, education, empathy, stress management.Abstract
This study examines gender differences in emotional intelligence (EI) and their impact on academic performance. The research involved 150 female and 110 male students in Oriental University, with EI measured using the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) developed by Schutte et al. (1998). The findings indicate that female students scored higher in empathy and social skills, whereas male students excelled in self-regulation and stress management. A positive correlation was identified between EI and academic performance, suggesting that higher EI contributes to better academic outcomes. These results highlight the importance of integrating EI development programs into the educational system to enhance students’ emotional and academic growth.
