The study involved 101 musicians where 46 of them are males and 55 of them are females. EQ self-assessment Checklist and Satisfaction of life scale were the two questionaries that were being used to measure the Emotional intelligence and life satisfaction respectively. Pearson’s Product moment correlation and t test were used to test the hypothesis.
