Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence And Mental Health Of Prospective Teacher

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and mental health among Prospective teachers. The survey method was employed, with a sample of 250 Prospective teachers across different demographic variables such as gender, locality, and marital status. The study aimed to determine if emotional intelligence significantly correlates with mental health and if there are differences in emotional intelligence and mental health based on gender, locality, and marital status. The null hypotheses stated no significant correlations or differences. Data were collected using standardized scales and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlational analysis, and inferential tests. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between emotional intelligence and mental health, indicating that higher emotional intelligence is associated with better mental health. However, no significant differences were found based on gender, locality, or marital status. The results contribute to understanding the role of emotional intelligence in mental well-being and have implications for teacher education programs
