  • Abstract:
  • This research aims to investigate the connection between emotional intelligence (EI) and stress levels in people by analyzing if greater emotional intelligence leads to reduced perceived stress. A group of 170 participants was evaluated using standardized assessments of emotional intelligence and perceived stress, namely the Emotional Intelligence Scale and Perceived Stress Scale. Statistical analysis showed a moderate negative correlation between emotional intelligence and stress levels (r = -0.52), suggesting that people with greater EI generally experience less perceived stress. Additionally, a straightforward linear regression analysis indicated that emotional intelligence is a significant predictor of stress levels, with an R² value of 0.2736, implying that roughly 27% of the variation in stress levels can be accounted for by emotional intelligence scores. These findings highlight the significance of cultivating emotional intelligence as a possible shield against stress. The research provides important insights for educational curricula, workplace strategies, and mental health programs aimed at boosting emotional resilience and minimizing the negative impacts of stress.
