The present research focused on the relationship between emotional intelligence and moral
judgment in adolescents; it was hypothesized that there would be a positive relationship
between emotional intelligence (EI) and moral judgment; EI would predict moral judgment
and there are likely gender differences in moral judgment of adolescents. The sample of 351
adolescents (n=172 male; n=179 female) was recruited for the research. The Scale of
Emotional Intelligence (Batool & Khalid, 2009) and Padua Moral Judgment Scale
(Comunian, 2011) were used for assessment. Independent sample t-test, Pearson correlation
and hierarchical regression analysis were carried out to analyse data. Results revealed a
positive correlation between emotional intelligence and moral judgement (.15, p < .01), stage
4 of moral judgment development (.2, p < .01), socio-moral values (Contract .15, p< .01,
truth .17, p<.01, property .13, p< .05, law .11, p< .05 and legal justice .15, p< .01).
Regression analysis revealed that EI significantly predicted stage 4 of moral development,
socio-moral values (contract, truth, property, law and legal justice). Moral judgment
predicted all types of socio-moral values and stages of moral development. Moreover, the
combined interactive effect of EI and moral judgment significantly predicted stage 2 of
moral development. However, no gender differences were found in emotional intelligence
and moral judgment. Findings have important implications for parents, teachers and
policymakers.
