Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic buoyancy of junior radiologic technology students of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute during the second semester of the Academic Year 2021-2022. The present study utilized a quantitative correlational research design. The acquired data was measured using two adopted questionnaires: the Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence test and the Academic Buoyancy Scale (ABS). Percentage frequency distribution, standard deviation, mean, independent t-test, and Pearson’s product moment correlation were used to treat the data. The findings of the study show that the majority of the respondents are female, and most are 19-21 years old. Most of the respondents have above-average emotional intelligence and uncertain academic buoyancy. An above-average emotional intelligence indicates that the respondents have a moderately high ability to perceive, analyze, regulate, and control their emotions. An uncertain academic buoyancy means the respondents are neither well nor poorly equipped to handle and overcome academic setbacks and challenges. There is a significant difference in the academic buoyancy of the respondents when grouped according to sex, with male respondents showing higher academic buoyancy but not when grouped according to age. In addition, there was a significant weak positive relationship between the emotional intelligence and academic buoyancy of the respondents, which meant that other factors might affect the academic buoyancy of the respondents.
