Effect of Age on Emotional Intelligence and Subjective Well-being in Married Female Teachers

The present study is an attempt to explore and evaluate the level of emotional intelligence and subjective well-being between two age groups of female married teachers. For this purpose a sample of two age groups (20-40 and 40-60 years of age) from different colleges of Varanasi city were selected. Emotional intelligence and subjective well-being of this sample were studied by administering Multidimensional Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Scale Revised (MSREIS-R by Pandey & Anand, 2008) and Subjective Well-Being Scale (SWB by Srivastava & Singh, 2003).For this study it was hypothesized that there would be significant difference between mean in age groups on those variables and there would be positive correlation between emotional intelligence and subjective well being. An exploratory method of research was employed by adopting mean, SD, F value and correlation. Participants completed self report measures of emotional intelligence and subjective well-being. Results revealed significant effect of emotional intelligence and subjective well-being variables between young's and adults, and positive correlation between emotional intelligence and subjective well being.
