The present study was aimed at studying coping in relation to emotional intelligence.
The sample comprised of 197 students, between the age of 18 and 25 years.
Participants completed self-reported measures of emotional intelligence and ways
of coping. It was found that appraisal of emotions in the self was positively correlated
with plan-full problem solving and positive reappraisal coping styles. Appraisal of
emotions in others was positively correlated with plan-full problem solving and
positive reappraisal. Emotional regulation of the self was positively correlated with
planfull problem solving, confronting coping, self-controlling, positive reappraisal
and with distancing, but negatively correlated with escape avoidance. No gender
differences were found in perceived emotional intelligence and ways of coping
except for self-control, where males reported higher than females.
