Emotional intelligence and academic stress: insights from Karnataka state Akkamahadevi women university students


Author(s): Sakpal Hoovanna

Abstract:
This study examines the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and academic stress among students of Karnataka State Akkamahadevi Women University, Vijayapura. Emotional intelligence, the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's emotions and the emotions of others, plays a critical role in how students cope with academic pressures. Using a mixed-method approach, we collected data from 300 students through standardized EI and academic stress questionnaires, followed by in-depth interviews with a select group of participants. The quantitative results reveal a significant inverse correlation between EI and academic stress, indicating that students with higher emotional intelligence tend to experience lower levels of academic stress. Qualitative findings further highlight that students with well-developed EI skills employ more effective stress management strategies, such as positive reframing, seeking social support, and proactive problem-solving. This study underscores the importance of incorporating emotional intelligence training into the university curriculum to enhance students' resilience against academic stress. The implications of these findings for educational policies and student support services are discussed, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to student well-being and academic success.
