Abstract

The aim of the present study is to analyze the relationships between emotional intelligence (EI) and parameters of the psychological system of activity among university students majoring in humanities (N = 176) and engineering fields (N = 223). For young adults majoring in humanities linear regression revealed that the study participants’ sex, satisfaction with life and orientation to the future explained 28% of the variance of intrapersonal EI (R2 = 0.298; adjusted R2 = 0.285; F = 16.76; p < 0.001). For young adults majoring in engineering six variables (satisfaction with life, planning, survival vs self-expression values, orientation to the future, taking risk for achievement and sex) accounted for 26% of the variance (R2 = 0.282; adjusted R2 = 0.261; F = 5.612; p < 0.05) in intrapersonal EI. Only planning and taking risk for achievement accounted for 7.4 % of interpersonal EI (R2 = 0.080; adjusted R2 = 0.074; F = 14.65; p < 0.001) for young adults majoring in humanities. In the subsample of young adults majoring in engineering three variables (systemic reflection, purposefulness and taking risk for achievement ) jointly explained 30% of the variance, R2 = 0,317; adjusted R2 = 0.307; F = 12.147; p < 0.001. To sum up, EI has revealed a relationship with the psychological parameters of activity. However the predictors contributing to intrapersonal EI and interpersonal EI differed in groups of young adults majoring in humanities and engineering.
