Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the levels of emotional intelligence and stress management skills, as well as to examine the predictive ability of emotional intelligence skills in stress management among Yarmouk University students. The sample consisted of 1,849 male and female students from Yarmouk University, who were selected using a convenience sampling method. The results revealed statistically significant differences in emotional intelligence based on gender, specialization, and academic year. Female students scored higher than male students, and students from the humanities faculties had higher scores than those in the scientific faculties. In terms of academic year, freshmen achieved the highest scores in emotional intelligence. The study also reported no significant differences in the level of stress management skills based on gender. However, statistically significant differences were found in stress management skills due to the variables of faculty and academic year. Students in the humanities faculties had higher scores than their counterparts in the scientific faculties, and freshman students had the highest scores. The results indicated a strong predictive ability of all levels of emotional intelligence and stress management skills, which collectively accounted for 52.1% of the variation.
