Abstract

This descriptive study aims to examine the levels of emotional intelligence and hope and study the possibility of predicting hope through emotional intelligence. The study was conducted on 167 female students from SQU who were non-randomly selected. A measure of emotional intelligence and adults' measure of hope were applied after verifying their validity and reliability. The results indicated high levels of emotional intelligence and hope among the participants. Moreover, the results of the linear regression analysis showed that the dimensions of emotional intelligence were statistically significant predictors of hope. Particularly, 14% variance on pathways (as a dimension of hope) was explained by the emotional intelligence dimensions (with emotion cognitive scale as the only significant predictor). While 22% of variance on agency (as a dimension of hope) was explained by the dimensions of emotional intelligence (with emotion regulation being the only significant predictor). The study recommends conducting training programs to improve emotional intelligence and its components among university students, as well as to sensitize and guide psychologists, social workers and students through educational and therapeutic programs to the importance of hope, which is most closely related to other positive aspects.

الملخص

هدفت الدراسة الحالية التي اتبعت المنهج الوصفي إلى تحديد مستوى الذكاء العاطفي والأمل، واستكشاف إمكانية التنبؤ ببعدي الأمل من خلال الذكاء العاطفي وذلك مع عينة غير احتمالية من طالبات جامعة السلطان قابوس بلغت 167 طالبة. ولجمع بيانات الدراسة، تم تطبيق مقياس الذكاء العاطفي ومقياس الأمل للراشدين بعد التأكد من صدقهما وثباتهما. وأشارت النتائج إلى ارتفاع مستوى الذكاء العاطفي ومستوى الأمل لدى أفراد العينة، كما أظهرت نتائج تحليل الانحدار الخطي المتعدد أن أبعاد الذكاء العاطفي تُعد متنبئات دالة إحصائيا على الأمل؛ إذ ساهم بعد المعرفة الانفعالية (كأحد أبعاد الذكاء العاطفي) بنسبة 14% في تفسير التباين في بعد السبل (كأحد أبعاد الأمل)، بينما ساهم بعد تنظيم الانفعالات (كأحد أبعاد الذكاء العاطفي) بنسبة 22% في تفسير التباين في بعد الإرادة (كأحد أبعاد الأمل). وتوصي الدراسة بعمل برامج تدريبية في تحسين الذكاء العاطفي ومكوناته لدى طلبة الجامعة، وكذلك توعية وتوجيه الأخصائيين النفسيين والاجتماعيين والطلاب من خلال البرامج التربوية والعلاجية بأهمية الأمل الذي يعتبر الأكثر ارتباطا بالجوانب الإيجابية الأخرى.
