Exploring the five composite scales of emotional intelligence among female student-leaders of accredited private higher education institutions in region ii

This descriptive-correlational study determined the five composite scales of emotional intelligence of the women population of student-leaders in ten accredited private higher education institutions in Region II. Student's emotional intelligence was assessed through the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-I: S). Emotional intelligence scores were obtained using the mean. Emotional intelligence scores were further analyzed to obtain the corresponding composite scale. Inferences were tested using the T-test for independent samples and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Findings revealed that majority of the student leaders were rated highest on “interpersonal” scale. Inferential test revealed that a significant difference exists on the emotional intelligence of the female students in Region II as a whole.
