Abstract EN

This research aimed to identify the level of emotional intelligence among students who practice sports and those who don’t, and to detect the significance of the differences in that, according to some demographic variables.

To achieve these objectives, the researchers used the descriptive method using a survey as well as a comparative method.

The research sample consisted of (390) male and female students who were chosen in a deliberate way, in a pairing style, from the colleges of the University of Duhok for the academic year (2019-2020).

The Arabic version of Bar-On's emotional intelligence scale was used.

And the data was statistically processed using (mean, standard deviation, t-test for one sample and independent samples, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), less significant difference (L.S.D) test, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient).

The results of the study showed that there is a statistically significant difference in emotional intelligence among students who practice sports and those who don’t.

It was found that there is no significant difference in emotional intelligence attributed to the variables of age, gender, grade, and specialization, while there is a statistically significant difference in emotional intelligence attributed to the accommodation location and in favor of the countryside.

In light of the results, a set of recommendations and suggestions were presented.
