Impacto de la inteligencia emocional en el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de 20 a 25 años de una universidad privada de la ciudad Quito

Abstract

This research examines the impact of emotional intelligence on the academic performance of university students aged 20 to 25 at a private university in Quito, Ecuador. Using a mixed methodological approach, the study applied the Trait MetaMood Scale (TMMS-24) test to assess the dimensions of attention, clarity, and emotional repair, and analyzed the participants' academic records. The results revealed a positive correlation between emotional skills and academic performance, with notable differences between genders. The research highlights the importance of integrating emotional skills development into the university curriculum and proposes recommendations for implementing emotional intelligence programs, training teaching staff, and conducting longitudinal studies. This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic success in the Ecuadorian university context, offering insights to improve educational practices and student well-being.
