Exploring the Nexus: Emotional Intelligence and Religious Behaviour among University Students

Abstract

Over the past 20 years, educational, psychological, and sociological studies have concentrated on emotional intelligence. The study investigated university students' religious behaviour and emotional intelligence perceptions. The study's population was university students, and the researcher used quantitative research. The researcher sampled the population using essential random sampling. Researchers collected data from 300 university students. They conducted this investigation using a questionnaire. It was self-developed and pilot-tested, and the researcher found its validity and reliability using set procedures. The questionnaire was 0.814 Cronchbech Alpha reliable. The conclusion of the study "Exploring the Nexus: Emotional Intelligence and Religious Behaviour among University Students" sheds light on the intricate web of relationships between university students' religious behaviour, emotional intelligence, and how they perceive their own emotions. There has to be more education and understanding surrounding emotional intelligence, given that many students are clueless about it and have varying degrees of ease when expressing themselves. These findings provide a wealth of information for universities to use to pursue students' holistic well-being, particularly in areas like emotional intelligence and religious diversity.
