The current study aimed to reveal the mediating role of emotional intelligence in problem-solving skills and perceived stress among a sample of graduate students at king Abdulaziz university.

the study also aimed to predict the level of emotional intelligence and its relationship to perceived psychological stress and problem-solving skills, as well as to reveal the differences between the average scores of the sample individuals in both emotional intelligences, perceived psychological stress and problem-solving skills, according to the demo graphic variables such as gender, specialization, marital status, employment status, number of children, and school stage.

the researcher relied on the descriptive correlational and predictive approach.

Cohen et al.

(1983) and Arabization of al-Rabkhi (2016).

the results showed a statistically significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and problem-solving skill, and a statistically significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and perceived psychological stress, while there was no statistically significant relationship between perceived psychological stress and problem-solving skill.

the results also resulted in statistically significant differences between the average scores of emotional intelligences, perceived psychological stress and problem-solving skill due to the variable of gender, specialization, social status, employment status, number of children, and school stage.
