Abstract
The aim of the research was to study the influence of emotional intelligence on the adaptability of first-year students to the study at a university.
Methods. To study the adaptability of first-year students, we used the methodology "Adaptation of students in higher education" (Dubovitskaya T. D.); the study of emotional intelligence was carried out using the "Emotional Intelligence Test" EmIn (Lyusin D. V.).
Results. The analysis of the results showed the stable correlations between the structural components of emotional intelligence and the adaptation of first-year students to study at a university.
Conclusions. The general adaptation to learning in a first-year student is associated with the level of the ability development to understand their own and other people's emotions and manage the emotions of other people. Interpersonal emotional intelligence has a significant impact on the student's adaptation to the study group. The level of interpersonal emotional intelligence can be considered as a factor of a first-year student’s adaptation to educational activities and to studying at a university as a whole.
