A Study Exploring the Relationship between Emotional Intelligence, Loneliness, Resilience, Mental Well Being and Life Satisfaction among Residents of Alcohol and Drug Deaddiction Centers in North Bengal

Abstract

Objective: The objective of the study was to find a relationship between Emotional Intelligence, Loneliness, Resilience, Mental Well-Being, and Life Satisfaction among residents of drug and alcohol deaddiction centers. Method: There was 112 participants from drug and alcohol deaddiction centers aged 20 to 40 years for the study. Quantitative data collection was conducted using Google Forms, with participants completing five questionnaires: the UCLA Loneliness Scale, the Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale 10 (BEIS 10), the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and the Warwick- Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. Data collection included a consent form and a general information form. Questionnaires were administered in English, and since all scales were self-administered, participants were asked to read the instructions carefully so as not to miss any items to facilitate scoring. After data collection, scores were tabulated for further statistical processing and hypothesis validation. Statistical treatment of data were Descriptive Statistics – (Mean and Standard deviation) Parametric Statistics- (Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression). Result: The results indicated significant correlations among these variables, leading to the rejection of the null hypotheses, which stated that there was no significant relationship among the variables. It was interpreted that there was a significant correlation between the variables among the deaddiction residents. Thus, it was quantified that any significant improvement in the predictor variables could directly impact the criterion variables.
