| 要約: | "Attitude is the key to success" is an age-old saying and widely used in education to indicate that attitude may lead towards academic success. This exploratory study aims to investigate emotional intelligence of university students and their attitudes. The study involves a survey using self-Administered questionnaire. The sample comprised 324 Malay undergraduate students studying at a university located in the East Coast of Malaysia. The emotional intelligence of undergraduate students was assessed using Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) while their attitude was evaluated using a Student Attitude Scale. Second order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) model was implemented to test the factorial validity of the Emotional Intelligence and Student Attitude constructs. CFA results confirmed the four-factor structure of SEIS and three factor structure of Student Attitude scale. The Structural Equation Modeling results demonstrated that emotional intelligence has a weak positive effect on students' attitude. © Universiti Putra Malaysia Press. |
