“…It can also be observed that students with higher scores on the ER dimension have lower scores for both manifest and relational aggression. These data are consistent with studies such as Bibi et al [ 43 ] and Antoñanzas [ 44 ], which found inverse relationships between EI and aggressive behaviours. Alvarado et al [ 45 ] and Segura et al [ 46 ] have shown that young people with a higher level of EI are less likely to show any type of aggression.…”

Several indicators are strongly related to health and well-being in university students, such as emotional intelligence and physical activity. At the same time, some qualities threaten it and are incompatible with students’ adaptation to society in general, such as aggressive behaviours. The aim of this research is to analyse the relationship established between emotional intelligence using TMMS-24, physical activity, using IPAQ, and aggression behaviours in university students. For this purpose, a descriptive, cross-sectional and non-experimental study was developed with 932 undergraduates (M = 20.55; SD = 3.673). The findings highlight how emotional intelligence and physical activity practice decrease violent behaviour in university students. In addition, men tend to have more aggressive behaviours than women as well as the relation between physical activity and emotional intelligence is stronger in all its dimensions. Results highlight the importance of including emotional intelligence programs in order to enable undergraduate well-being.

“…Contrastingly, Bibi et al (2016), found higher emotional intelligence among Pakistani female undergraduate students. In dispute with all such claims, a study by few researchers yielded insignificant gender differences in EI among Pakistani undergraduate students (Bibi et al, 2020). Bar-On states that little evidence exists that could further advance our understanding of gender differences in overall emotional intelligence, however males and females show distinct differences in EI sub-components; females have a relatively strong domain of interpersonal skills, empathy and emotional self-awareness.…”

“…Emotional intelligence encompasses domains such as interpersonal & intrapersonal competencies, stress management, adaptability and general mood. Therefore, it is not surprising that emotional intelligence impacts mental health hygiene ( Bibi et al., 2016 ; Bibi et al., 2020 ). Emotional intelligence is assumed to drive an individual's behavioral manifestations and choices in life, such as rate of illegal drug abuse, alcohol addiction and other deviant behaviors.…”

Background There is a pressing need to study life satisfaction in the context of collectivistic culture, particularly of undergraduate students. Various socio-cultural factors influence the level of emotional intelligence and grit of an individual. Even though a wide array of research on life satisfaction is available, it hasn't been studied in relation to grit and emotional intelligence (as conceptualized by Bar On), both of which can be acquired and enhanced over time. To the best of researcher's knowledge, a research that collectively studies emotional intelligence, grit and life satisfaction in the context of a collectivistic culture has not been carried out Method The study discusses the relationship between emotional intelligence (as conceptualized by Bar-On), grit and life satisfaction. Scales employed to investigate the relationship between each of the constructs include Scale of Emotional Intelligence (SEI), 12-item Grit scale and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). 350 undergraduate students were selected through random sampling. Statistical analyses included Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of correlation, Independent Sample t-test, one-way between group analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression. Results The study concludes that the two constructs, i.e. emotional intelligence and grit, are weakly related to life satisfaction, r (348)=.25, p <.01 and r (348)=.22, p <.01 respectively. A moderately strong association is found between emotional intelligence and grit r (348) = . 46, p <.01. Significant gender differences are found in emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence and grit are not influenced by academic majors and academic years. Emotional intelligence and grit can influence life satisfaction by a variance of 15.6%. Participant's age ranged from 18 to 26 years (M = 21.20, SD = 1.62). Conclusion The study concludes that emotional intelligence and grit have a moderately strong association with one another. Emotional intelligence and grit positively influence the level of satisfaction experienced by an individual, however small it maybe. The study presents important insight into each of the primary constructs within the cultural context of Pakistan. The results also highlight the importance of educating Pakistani individuals regarding improving emotional intelligence and grit. Both emotional intelligence and grit are learnable and teachable, which means that individuals can be educated to help them improve their performance and subjective well-being. Parents, educators and health professionals can also benefit from findings of this study, in a way that they can identify areas of emotional intelligence and grit that can be enhanced in order for the children, students and clients...

“…En una investigación realizada sobre estudiantes de las dos principales universidades de Pakistán (Bibi et al, 2020), se encuentra una asociación negativa entre la inteligencia emocional (r=-0,34, p<0.01) y los factores promotores de la agresividad. La explicación de esta asociación subyace en que los individuos que no son conscientes de sus propias emociones, es decir, de la dimensión personal de su inteligencia emocional, pues pueden reaccionar de forma desproporcionada frente a situaciones de conflicto o desacuerdo.…”

Estudios acerca de las habilidades profesionales y su relación con el rendimiento laboral siempre serán de gran interés para empresarios y académicos en su apuesta de mejorar el desempeño organizacional. Es así, que el objetivo del artículo es determinar el tipo de asociación existente entre las competencias directivas personales y el desempeño laboral medido desde la perspectiva del IWPQ (Individual Work Performance Questionnaire). El enfoque investigativo se concentrará en la inteligencia emocional, sus dimensiones personales y sociales. Los instrumentos de medición fueron aplicados a los estudiantes de la jornada nocturna del programa de ingeniería industrial del centro regional Buga de Uniminuto, quienes estudian en la universidad y laboran para organizaciones del centro del Valle del Cauca, simultáneamente. Se encuentra una asociación positiva moderada entre la inteligencia emocional en su dimensión social y el desempeño laboral, a partir de dichos resultados se realiza una propuesta de entrenamiento en Inteligencia emocional con efecto positivo en el desempeño laboral.
