Abstract

Emotional intelligence is a psychological concept with a particular importance for each of us, and studies on this topic have gained considerable momentum. However, studies that aimed at identifying differences between males and females are contradictory. This paper aims to see if there are differences between genders regarding emotional intelligence. A sample of 60 adolescents between the ages of 16 and 20 was studied. The results, like most in the literature, showed that there was no difference between genders regarding emotional intelligence. Finally, we discussed possible explanations, conclusions, and future research directions.
