Abstract
This study examines the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and personality traits among adult learners. Conducted in the Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh, the research involved a sample of 100 adult students from 20 randomly selected Distance Education study centers. Utilizing stratified random sampling, the study employed standardized questionnaires, including the Personality Inventory by Dr. Yashvir Singh and Dr. Har Mohan Singh (2011) and the Emotional Intelligence Test (EIT) by Dr. Ekta Sharma (2011), to gather data. The primary objective was to explore the correlation between EI and the personality traits of Extroversion and Introversion. Descriptive statistics revealed an average EI score of 203.25 (SD = 18.85), with Extroversion and Introversion means of 64.15 (SD = 1.64) and 62.95 (SD = 1.31), respectively. Correlation analyses demonstrated a significant positive correlation between EI and Extroversion (r = .749, p < .01) and a significant negative correlation between EI and Introversion (r = -.887, p < .01). Additionally, Extroversion and Introversion were negatively correlated (r = -.420, p < .01). The findings refute the null hypothesis, indicating that significant relationships exist between EI and personality traits among adult learners. Specifically, individuals with higher EI are more likely to exhibit extroverted characteristics, while those with lower EI tend to display introverted traits. These results emphasize the importance of considering both Emotional Intelligence and personality traits in understanding the psychological factors that influence adult learners' experiences and academic outcomes. The study's insights can inform the development of targeted educational interventions aimed at enhancing the success and well-being of adult learners.
