Abstract
The present study seeks to observe emotional intelligence (EI) among children from four Christian Missionary Schools in the Kolkata metropolitan area and stipulates the need to cultivate EI from the preparatory years of the children. 316 children were studied using a cross-sectional survey design. The results revealed the presence of a reasonably good amount of emotional intelligence where gender was associated with a statistically significant variation in EI scores. It also showed no association between parental education, choice of hobby, presence of sibling, family structure and locality of residence to one's own emotional intelligence. The results of the study recapitulate the effectiveness of the faith-oriented learning environment in the four missionary school settings for promotion of emotional intelligence among the children by developing selfcontrol, empathy and values-based decision making.
