Exploring the Interplay of Emotional Intelligence, Relationship Satisfaction, and Well Being Across Generational Cohorts: A Comparison of Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z

Abstract

The study has been conducted to explore the interplay of emotional intelligence, well-being, and relationship satisfaction across generations. Three generational cohorts of Gen Z, Gen Y, and Gen X, were selected for the purpose of the study. A total of 214 participants from Urban Indian cities between the ages of 18 and 59 (n+214) were surveyed using the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT), the Flourishing Scale, and Burns Relationship Satisfaction Scale. The findings indicate that there is a positive and significant correlation between emotional intelligence, well-being, and relationship satisfaction. However, there are no significant variances in the levels of the three constructs across generations.
