IMPACT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TRAINING ON EMOTIONAL MATURITY IN STRESSED AND ANXIOUS STUDENTS

Abstract

This study investigates emotional intelligence, stress, anxiety, and depression among students, revealing crucial
aspects of their psychological well-being. Analysis indicates that while emotional intelligence levels are
moderate overall, there is variability, with some students scoring higher. The distributions of stress, anxiety,
and depression scores show considerable variation and positive skewness, suggesting that many students
experience high levels of these psychological issues. These findings emphasize the need for targeted
interventions to address these challenges. Emotional intelligence training is identified as a particularly effective
strategy for managing stress, anxiety, and depression. By enhancing emotional intelligence, students can
develop better coping strategies and emotional resilience, leading to improved emotional maturity and mental
health. This underscores the importance of integrating emotional intelligence training into educational
programs to better support students in handling their psychological challenges and fostering overall well-being.
