Abstract/Summary

Student athletes undergo many stressors from academics to their sport. One area of concern suggested by Lazarus (2000) in sports psychology is how detrimental negative emotions are in athletic performance and vice versa. This study wanted to understand the relationship between the emotional intelligence (EI) and self-efficacy (SE) of student athletes. Emotional intelligence is defined as an ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions (Mayet & Salovey, 1997), while self-efficacy is defined as the belief in one's capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required for managing prospective situations (Bandura, 1997, p.191). The purpose of this study was to provide more insights on the importance of emotional intelligence in the lives of student athletes. With this knowledge, practitioners, coaches, and students may take the opportunity to focus on building an athlete's emotional intelligence. This study aimed to find out the relationship EI and SE between 92 student athletes in a university inside Metro Manila. By using a correlational design, results suggest that there was a significant positive relationship (r=0.54) between EI and SE of student athletes.
