Abstract

This study examined the relationship between emotional intelligence, optimism, coping strategies and academic achievement, in a sample of 170 college students. Participants completed the Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Scale (SSREI), the Life Orientation Test (LOT-R), and the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI). Also were obtained students’ last year academic final grades. Results showed positive correlations between emotional intelligence, optimism and use of coping strategies based on problem solving. No statistically significant relationships between emotional intelligence and academic performance were found.
