Description
Tharindi Wijerathne and co-authors test whether emotional intelligence tracks with exercise habits in Sri Lankan undergraduates, in this 2023 study. Emotional intelligence covers reading and managing feelings in oneself and others. Whether it shapes how active young adults are had been little studied.
Four hundred students at state universities in Colombo District filled in two standard questionnaires, one for emotional intelligence and one for physical activity. The link between the two scores was weakly negative and did not reach statistical significance, so the study accepts that no relationship was shown. The authors stress that the finding still points to action: students need more encouragement to be active, whatever their emotional skills. They offer the null result as a base for finer studies of what does drive student activity.
