Abstract

The purpose of the study was to see the emotional intelligence (EI) of undergraduate students in Howrah district, West Bengal. Using a cross-sectional survey method, data was collected from 450 students with the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire by K.V. Petrides (2009). The sample was taken with simple random sampling. Results revealed that the mean EI score for the students was 119.02. Male students possessed higher EI as compared to female students. Furthermore, students belonging to Joint Families and Urban habitats scored higher as compared to their counterparts belonging to Nuclear Family and Rural habitats respectively. First year current students scored higher in EI as compared to second and third-year current students. While differences among habitats were significant(p<0.05); differences among gender, family type, and current class were not(p>0.05).
