The aim of the present research work was to study emotional intelligence (EI) as a function of different
academic subjects of choice, spiritual quotient (SQ), and gender. One hundred and fifty university students
doing master degree with age ranging from 21-24 years were selected randomly from three academic
departments of Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab, India, i.e., Science, Arts, and Psychology. Emotional
Intelligence Scale (Hyde, Pethe, & Dhar, 2001) and Spiritual Quotient Scale (SQ; Chopra, 2002) were
administered individually on all the participants. For analysis, participants were further divided into two groups
by using median split half technique on SQ scores, i.e., those who scored high and those who scored low on SQ.
These two groups were compared on EI . One way ANOVA (for three academic subjects of choice) was applied
to see whether participants studying different academic subjects of choice differ significantly on EI. t-test was
used to see whether participants high and low on SQ and men and women differ significantly on EI. It was
concluded that individuals studying Psychology were more emotionally intelligent as compared to the other two
groups. Varied levels of SQ had significant effect on emotional intelligence but gender difference was
insignificant. This study has important implications for educational psychologists and EI research.
