Unfolding Creative Achievement, Empathy, and Emotional Intelligence among Young Adults

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between gender and psychological characteristics, namely creativity, empathy, and emotional intelligence (EI), among young adults. While the mean score in Creative Achievement suggests a slight propensity for males to demonstrate higher levels of creativity, no statistically significant difference is observed. However, cultural norms may influence gender-specific creativity. Females exhibit higher levels of empathy, consistent with previous studies, while a small disparity in EI scores suggests potentially higher emotional intelligence among females. These findings underscore the necessity for tailored interventions to address gender inequities and promote comprehensive development. Moreover, a positive correlation between empathy and EI, and a negative correlation between creative achievement and EI, highlight the complex interplay of these traits. Understanding these dynamics can inform inclusive environments and support systems for all genders.
