| Summary: | Emotional Intelligence appears to be a significant influencing factor in academic achievements. This study aims
to identify the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and mathematics achievements (a relatively
sparse research areas of academic achievements) among undergraduates in higher learning institution of Sarawak.
100 respondents from a higher-level institution of Sarawak participated in this study. Trait Emotional
Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) is used to measure the trait emotional intelligence of the undergraduates.
The result was analysed using descriptive analysis and inferential analysis, namely two-way ANOVA and
Pearson’s correlation. Two-way ANOVA was used to test if there is significant difference in demographic
attributes (gender and place of residence) towards maths achievements and trait emotional intelligence of the
undergraduates. Pearson Correlation was used to test the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and
mathematics achievements of the undergraduates. Generally, this study found that there is no significant
difference for factors related to demographic attributes (gender and place of residence) against maths
achievements and trait emotional intelligence of the undergraduates. Meanwhile, a relationship was found
between trait emotional intelligence and mathematics achievements among undergraduates in higher learning
institution in Sarawak. The outcome of the study appears to suggest that trait emotional intelligence can help
undergraduates to understand themselves more and to control and manage their emotions and feelings and have
better relationship with their surroundings. And this could positively impact on their maths achievements |
