Abstract

Emotional Intelligence and Social Relationships are crucial for tertiary level students. Emotional intelligence results from a blend of hereditary and interactive influences, similar to general intelligence, and its development is shaped by future life experiences. This study aims to evaluate the levels of Emotional Intelligence and Social Relationships among tertiary-level students in the Purba Bardhaman District of West Bengal, considering various personal and social variables. The researchers employed a descriptive survey method, with a sample of 112 tertiary level students from different colleges, selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and graphical methods. The findings indicate that Emotional Intelligence and Social Relationships among tertiary-level students in Purba Bardhaman are moderate. The study also reveals no significant differences in Emotional Intelligence and Social Relationships based on gender, area, streams, and category. Additionally, there is a negligible negative correlation between Emotional Intelligence and Social Relationships, suggesting that an increase in Emotional Intelligence may slightly decrease or negatively impact Social Relationships, and vice versa.
