Emotional intelligence (EI) plays a critical role in how people perceive, process and manage emotions, which in turn influences their coping strategies. This study aims to explore the relationship between EI and coping strategies among college students, highlighting the importance of EI in managing stress and promoting psychological well-being. Using a sample of university students, the study examines how different aspects of emotional intelligence correlate with different coping mechanisms. Results indicate that higher levels of EI are associated with more adaptive coping strategies, highlighting the need for educational interventions to increase EI for better stress management and overall mental health.
