Investigating the Association between Hope and Emotional Intelligence on University Students
Öz
Hope is one of the vital constructs that are related to an array of important emotional characteristics. The current study aimed to examine the link between hope and emotional intelligence, an important concept that has a critical impact on individuals’ well-being. Despite emotional intelligence encompasses a number of emotion-related self-efficacies such as social competence or emotionality, the link between hope domains and dimensions of emotional intelligence yet to be explored. Thus, 143 undergraduate and postgraduate students were recruited from the United Kingdom and administered the Adult Dispositional Hope Scale (ADHS), a short form of trait emotional intelligence questionnaire (TEIQue-SF), and a short-form of NEO PI-R (S5). In terms of the results, correlation analyses demonstrated the significant and positive relationship between agency/pathways and factors of emotional intelligence. Moreover, regression analyses demonstrated that the agency uniquely explains a significant amount of variance in the well-being dimension of emotional intelligence while pathways accounted for a significant amount of variance in the dimension of sociability beyond demographics and personality traits. To this end, it might be concluded that the agency is related to more well-being related variables while pathways is the social aspect of hope.
