Abstract
This study was to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and adjustment of college life as well as the effect of emotional intelligence on adjustment of college life in first year nursing college students. The participants were 104 first year nursing college students. Data was collected from June 11 to 13, 2012 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression. The mean scores for emotional intelligence 3.59 and adjustment of college life 3.01 were above average. A significant and positive correlation was found between emotional intelligence and adjustment of college life. The emotional intelligence predicted adjustment of college life. The strongest predictor on adjustment of college life was emotional recognition and next predictors were in order of empathy and emotional expression among the sub-factors of emotional intelligence. The results of this study suggest that it needs to develop the program for improving the emotional intelligence for better adjustment of college life in college nursing students.
