RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIGH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND GREATER SELF-ESTEEM.

Abstract

The existence of high El to greater self-esteem was compared. It was hypothesized that higher EI would lead to greater self - esteem among adolescents. Two questionnaires tapping both the variables were administered to a sample of 314 adolescents comprising of 157 males and 157 females. In order to find out the relationship between the two variables Pearson r was applied. The results showed that there is a moderate relationship between the two variables (r = 0.5)
