Correlation of Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence in Musicians

Abstract

This study examines the complex interactions between spiritual intelligence (SI) and emotional intelligence (EI) in musicians, providing insight into how these two concepts interact and may even have an impact on one another in the setting of creative expression and musical performance. Standardized assessments measuring both social intelligence (SI) and emotional intelligence (EI) were used to gather data from a sample of musicians from various backgrounds and genres. Significant relationships were found through statistical analysis between several aspects of spiritual intelligence, such as transcendental consciousness, humility, and inner calm, and emotional intelligence traits including self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation. Additionally, the quantitative findings were given depth and richness by qualitative insights gleaned from participant interviews, which shed light on their personal experiences and impressions of emotional and spiritual aspects in musical rehearsals and performances. These findings have implications for music psychology, education, and overall wellness. They highlight the value of supporting musicians' emotional and spiritual growth and promote a better understanding of the intricate relationships that exist between music, emotion, and spirituality
