Abstract
The present study was aimed at developing and implementing an
instructional module for increasing emotional Intelligence of
adolescents. The four branch model of emotional intelligence served
as the theoretical basis for this module. A Qusai-experimental
design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the indigenously
developed theory based EI teaching module. Participants of the
study were selected from two high schools (one for each gender)
which ranged in age from 13 to 16 (M =14.33, SD=.93) for the
intervention group, and 13 to 18 (M =14.53, SD= .97) for the control
group. Mixed design (2 x 2) ANOVAs were used to assess the
effectiveness of the module. The results of the study revealed the
significant effectiveness of the module in enhancing emotional
intelligence of adolescents. Findings exhibited that the intervention
group significantly improved on global emotional intelligence as well
as on its various different sub branches. These findings were later
discussed keeping in view the previous literature and cultural
context of Pakistan.
