Notes
- Abstract:
- Emotional intelligence is the ability, reason, use, and knowledge of emotions to enhance thought and action. Many studies have suggested that EI has a strong influence on career and academic success. More recently research has focus on EI and sport, in fact practitioners have become increasingly vocal in their suggestion that EI may be an important paradigm in the sports world. In addition to sport there is not a concrete understanding in regard to EI and gender. The findings in the literature are ambivalent in respects to gender differences in EI and more research is necessary in this area. The purpose of this study is to examine if EI determined performance in pentathletes and heptathletes while controlling for gender. Participants consisted of both men heptathletes (n = 49) and woman pentathletes (n = 64) from NCAA college level track and field teams and were contacted via email. Respondents were directed to a website that contained a demographic questionnaire and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS, Wong & Law, 2002). A multiple regression was used to determine if those athletes with high EI would be more successful while also controlling for gender.
