The questionnaire used for the present study is the emotional intelligence scale (EIS-HPD) by Anukool Hyde, Sanjyot Pethe, and Upinder Dhar. Using the survey method obtained results were interpreted and analyzed by using normality test and test statistics. The findings of the study suggest that there is no significant relationship between gender and emotional intelligence. Hence it can be inferred that gender does play an important role in emotional intelligence. In the present study aspects like socioeconomic status, domicile, and family type were also considered.
