Abstract
AimThe aim of this study was to verify the relationship between the need for cognition (NFC) and emotional intelligence (EI) in people with high academic achievement. MethodThis research involved 207 undergraduate and PhD students who were divided into two groups: (1) students who received scholarships from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (currently the Ministry of Education and Science) in recognition of their scientific achievements, and (2) students who did not receive scholarships. The research tools were the Polish version of the Need for Cognition Scale (Cacciopo & Petty, 1982) developed by Matusz, Gąsiorowska and Traczyk (2011) and the Popular Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (Jaworowska & Matczak, 2005). ResultsThe need for cognition and emotional intelligence were positively correlated in both groups. Further analyses indicated that high academic achievement does not moderate the relationship between NFC and EI. ConclusionThe study demonstrated that the need for cognition increases with a rise in the ability to manage, use and understand emotions.
