From Eye Movements to Personality Traits: A Machine Learning Approach in Blood Donation Advertising

Blood donation heavily depends on voluntary involvement, but the problem of motivating and retaining potential blood donors remains. Understanding the personality traits of donors can assist in this case, bridging communication gaps and increasing participation and retention. To this end, an eye-tracking experiment was designed to examine the viewing behavior of 75 participants as they viewed various blood donation-related advertisements. The purpose of these stimuli was to elicit various types of emotions (positive/negative) and message framings (altruistic/egoistic) to investigate cognitive reactions that arise from donating blood using eye-tracking parameters such as the fixation duration, fixation count, saccade duration, and saccade amplitude. The results indicated significant differences among the eye-tracking metrics, suggesting that visual engagement varies considerably in response to different types of advertisements. The fixation duration also revealed substantial differences in emotions, logo types, and emotional arousal, suggesting that the nature of stimuli can affect how viewers disperse their attention. The saccade amplitude and saccade duration were also affected by the message framings, thus indicating their relevance to eye movement behavior. Generalised linear models (GLMs) showed significant influences of personality trait effects on eye-tracking metrics, including a negative association between honesty–humility and fixation duration and a positive link between openness and both the saccade duration and fixation count. These results indicate that personality traits can significantly impact visual attention processes. The present study broadens the current research frontier by employing machine learning techniques on the collected eye-tracking data to identify personality traits that can influence donation decisions and experiences. Participants’ eye movements were analysed to categorize their dominant personality traits using hierarchical clustering, while machine learning algorithms, including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, and k-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), were employed to predict personality traits. Among the models, SVM and KNN exhibited high accuracy (86.67%), while Random Forest scored considerably lower (66.67%). This investigation reveals that computational models can infer personality traits from eye movements, which shows great potential for psychological profiling and human–computer interaction. This study integrates psychology research and machine learning, paving the way for further studies on personality assessment by eye tracking.

Exploring the interplay between quantity surveyors’ conflict-handling styles and personality traits

Construction projects are prone to conflict; thus, effective conflict management is more important than ever to avoid disputes and ensure project success. This study explores the link between conflict-handling styles and personality traits used by clients’ quantity surveyors in South Africa. The study used an online web survey based on how clients’ quantity surveyors dealt with conflict according to their personality traits. The population of this study included registered professional quantity surveyors and candidate quantity surveyors. The most common way of dealing with conflict and the most dominant personality trait among quantity surveying professionals were determined using descriptive statistics. A Spearman rank correlation analysis was subsequently conducted to establish whether there was a link between management of conflict and personality traits. The collaborating style was primarily used as a conflict management style by quantity surveyors, while the most common personality trait amongst client's quantity surveyors was Conscientiousness. Generally, most of the conflict-handling styles do not significantly interplay with personality traits. However, a collaborating conflict-handling style was found to have a negative correlation with the neuroticism personality trait. Also, the accommodating conflict handling style positively correlates with the agreeableness personality trait, and the avoiding conflict handling style correlates with the neuroticism personality trait. Quantity surveying firms will benefit from this information regarding their employees' conflict-handling styles and personalities by training professionals on managing conflict successfully by combining their personalities with the appropriate style. The focus on registered and candidate quantity surveyors was a limitation of the study, as other construction professionals could add value to the study. Further studies may include conflict-handling styles from a contractors’ quantity surveyor’s perspective. Keywords: Conflict-handling styles, Construction Industry, Personality, Quantity Surveyors

Do narcissism and resilience personality traits ignite university students' desirability and entrepreneurial intentions? Moderation of pursuit of excellence and risk

PurposeA nation's economic development is adversely affected by the rising population and the lack of employment opportunities, necessitating the promotion of entrepreneurial activities. This study aims to unfurl the critical factors shaping university students' entrepreneurial intentions (EI) in an emerging economy.Design/methodology/approachThe study assessed the EI of 640 university students across India's top 5 central universities through structural equation modeling by extending the entrepreneurial event model (EEM) and dark triad theory. Mediation and moderation techniques were used to examine the model's direct and indirect linkages.FindingsThe results show that propensity to act (PTA), perceived resilience (PRS) and narcissism (NAR) magnify desirability, significantly increasing students' EI. The association between the underlying constructs is partially mediated by the PTA and perceived desirability (PD). In addition, the linkage between PD and students' EI is strengthened by the pursuit of excellence (PoE) and weakened by perceived risk (PR).Research limitations/implicationsThe study's findings could assist educators, universities, aspiring entrepreneurs, financial institutions, policymakers, investors, venture capitalists, incubators and accelerators in reinforcing entrepreneurial culture in India by establishing a link between crucial personality traits and intentions to start entrepreneurial ventures.Originality/valuePersonality traits such as NAR, resilience and the PoE have not received much attention in the entrepreneurship literature and call for a rigorous inquiry. The study tries to embrace these dominant personality traits by broadening the perspectives of EEM and dark triad theory via a comprehensive conceptual model. It also explores the role of the PoE and PR as moderators to examine the possible association between the identified constructs.

Are emoji valid indicators of in-the-moment mood?

Despite widespread assumptions that emoji represent emotions, research findings show that we do not process emoji in a way which we would expect for emotional stimuli. As such, we might be better placed to consider them more in line with mood states rather than emotion concepts. This formed the basis for the current study in which we collected in-the-moment mood assessments (N = 682) using an Emoji mood scale (Emoji PANAS) to establish whether emoji might be a valid way to measure current mood. This emoji scale replicated items from standardised psychometric mood scales (Panas; Watson et al., 1988), but asked participants to report the degree to which emoji rather than words represented their current affective state. We also took measures of the Big-5-personality traits (Goldberg et al., 2006). When exploring relationships between reports of in-vivo mood based on items from the PANAS with the respective emoji on our Emoji PANAS scale, these corresponded significantly for all mood states. This suggests that mood is reported in an equivalent way irrespective of whether this is responding to word items or the respective emoji items to represent these affective states. However, when exploring these relationships for sub-samples based on participant dominant personality trait, we found some differential patterns. Namely, for those high in emotional stability and extraversion, there were few significant correlations between the items from two mood scales, indicating that emoji may not always be a useful or reliable means for reporting in-the-moment mood when disaggregating by certain personality traits which consist strong dimensions of emotionality.

The vision of ideological culture in contemporary Chinese education: preserving society and state (La perspectiva de la cultura ideológica en la educación china contemporánea: preservar la sociedad y el estado)

ABSTRACT Research intends to identify: features of ideological culture within China’s education sector; the most effective theory of ideology, capable of developing the individuals’ worldviews and values, revealing their civic-minded self-awareness; the dominant personality traits that can most effectively influence the moulding of civic-minded attitudes and social responsibility among China’s residents. This research project included an experiment conducted to determine the effectiveness of various theories of ideology in China’s education sector. As the experiment’s findings suggest, traditional Confucianism was identified as the most productive ideology (51.2%). The research findings may be used in the study of various ideologies, such as liberalism and neoliberalism, socialism, feminism, communism and social democracy, applicable to existing systems of ideological culture education in the globalization settings (within the context of pedagogical and psychotherapeutic activities, as well as in order to improve methods of teaching general subjects and education levels among students).

Personality traits among Moroccan officials in the Rabat-Sale-Kenitra Region

IntroductionPublic servants, because of the nature of their work, are under tremendous pressure. Hence the need to study the dominant personality traits within this sample.ObjectivesDemonstrate the domination of certain personality dimensions over others in this population.The aim of this research is to study the five major personality traits in a sample of officials in the Rabat-Sale-Kenitra Region, Morocco.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional epidemiological study that involved 387 individuals, including 55.8% (n=216) Male and 44.2% (n=171) Female with an average age of 32.75± 9.79. The personality traits were assessed using the Big Five test.ResultsThe results show that, 76.74% of our study subjects have a high score of Agreeableness, while 23.26% have a low score. 59.69% of our sample has a high score in Extravesion, while 40.31% have a low one. Slight increase in the percentage that has a high score in Neurosis compared to those that have a low score with 51.94% and 48.06%. 78.29% of our sample have a high Consciousness score, while 21.71% have a low one. Concerning Openness, 79.84% of the participants have a high score and only 20.16 have a low score.ConclusionsThis study sample is characterized by the dominance of three main traits, Agreeableness, Consciousness and Openness. Moreover, this study has shed light on the fact that the Neurosis trait is dominant in almost half of our sample. However, considering this study concerned only one region, it would be interesting to widen the geography of the survey to acquire more exhaustive results.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

The Relationship between Students’ Personality and Their Achievement in Solving Mathematics Higher Order Thinking Skills Questions

This study identifies the relationship between the personality traits and achievements in solving the mathematics HOTS questions of 254 Year Six students from three primary schools in Ulu Tiram. The findings from the personality questionnaire and the mathematics HOTS question paper were an-alysed. The findings showed that the main dominant personality traits of the students were the openness followed by extraversion, neuroticism and agreeableness. For the achievement in the HOTS paper, 61 students scored highly, 55 in the very high category, and the rest were in the very low, low and medium categories. The result of regression analysis showed that the predictor of the standardised predictive coefficient of the neurotic characteristic (ᵦ = −.132) was significant, while the correlation value of students’ achievement and neurotic personality trait was 0.132. This showed that the relationship between students’ neuroticism and their achievement in solving the mathe-matics HOTS question was very low. Therefore, only neuroticism out of the five types of personality traits contributed to the achievement of Year Six students in solving the mathematics HOTS ques-tion. Hence, the findings conclude that personality traits are not the main factor affecting the achievement of the Year Six students in solving mathematics HOTS questions.

Relation between students’ personality traits and their preferred teaching methods: Students at the university of Ghana and the Huzhou Normal University

The study aimed to investigate the personality traits of students and their preferred teaching methods at the University of Ghana and Huzhou Normal University. The study specifically aimed at identifying personality traits that apply to psychology students, the kinds of teaching methods students preferred, and ascertaining the relationship between personality traits and preferred teaching methods. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to conduct the research. The sample size of two hundred and five (205) students from UG and Huzhou University was used. In this study, the researchers collected the data with the help of structured questionnaires. Research Question 1 and Question 2 will be analyzed using frequencies and percentages. Null hypothesis (There is no relationship between personality traits and teaching methods), Hypothesis 1 (There is a relationship between personality traits and teaching methods) will be analyzed using the Chi-Square. Data that will be collected will be analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (*SPSS). The study found that the conscientiousness personality trait among students at both University of Ghana and Huzhou University is the dominant personality trait. The preferred teaching method of students at both University of Ghana and Huzhou University is the cooperative learning method other than teaching methods. There is a relationship between personality traits and teaching methods: There is no relationship between students (participants’) personality traits and teaching methods at both University of Ghana and Huzhou University. It was concluded that most participants possessed conscientiousness personality traits, followed by the agreeableness personality trait and extraversion in UG. For Huzhou University, the conscientiousness personality trait was included by most students, followed by extraversion and agreeableness. It was recommended that the Ministry of Education (MoE) in Ghana and China create, plan and revise their various contents for University Education so that it is geared towards students preferred teaching methods (cooperative method of teaching).

Personality Traits and Levels of Self-Efficacy as Predictors of Academic Dishonesty among Higher Education Students in Ghana

The study focused on the predictive abilities of personality traits and self-effi- cacy on academic dishonesty among students. After satisfying ethical protocols, the study surveyed 453 higher education students using an analytical cross-section design. Respondents were exposed to respond to three constructs such as personality traits scale, academic self-efficacy scale, and academic dishonesty scale. The data were quantitatively analyzed using means and standard deviations, frequencies and percentages, and regression. The study revealed that conscientiousness was the dominant personality trait. In addition, the study revealed that dishonest academic behaviours were exhibited among students despite their high level of self-efficacy. Furthermore, conscientiousness, openness and self-efficacy significantly predicted academically dishonest behaviours of students. Therefore, it is recommended that students be presented with opportunities to maintain their high level of self-efficacy to help reduce incidents of academic dishonesty. The study’s findings appear original as they may serve as panacea for curbing dishonesty in teacher education programs in Ghana to churn credible teachers that might mount the teaching podium to impart knowledge onto the young that serve nations in the future.

Perceived Effects of Teacher Personality Traits on Students’ Mathematics Achievement: Case of Some Selected Junior High Schools in Wenchi Municipality in Ghana

The study explored the perceived effects of teacher personality traits on Junior High School students’ mathematics achievement in the Wenchi municipality of Ghana. The study was anchored on the Five-Factor Model of trait theory, and the design was descriptive correlational. The study sample comprised 367 randomly selected teachers. The researchers adapted the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) questionnaire to collect the data and analysed using the mean, multiple regression and Pearson r correlation coefficient tests. The results indicated Conscientiousness and Neuroticism as the most dominant and least teacher personality traits. All five factors were perceived to positively impact students’ mathematics achievement, though insignificantly (p = 0.05). Nonetheless, only Extraversion and Agreeableness traits significantly correlated positively with students’ mathematics achievement. Being open to experience, conscientious, extravert, agreeable, and neurotic may be connected to students’ learning and academic achievement but not significantly important. The study recommends the need for teachers to be sociable, energetic, friendly and optimistic. They must also be organised, systematic, hardworking, reliable and responsible.

HEALTH PROFESSIONAL’S PERCEPTION OF DOMINANT PERSONALITY TRAITS OF STAMMERERS

Background and Aim: Allied health professionals play an important role in therapy of stammering. So, this study was to assess the perception of health professionals regarding different dominant personality traits of stammerers as they devise the therapy and counselling techniques accordingly. Methodology: This observational study was conducted at the department of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics; Children Hospital Lahore. The 25 bipolar semantic differential scales developed by Woods and William, was used in this study. A total of 100 health professionals were given the questionnaire. The health professionals involved in this study were Speech and Language Pathologists, Dev. Pediatricians, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Clinical Psychologists, Special Educationist and Nurses. Results: Sample size of this study was 100. Percentage of females was greater than males (88% vs 12%). Results showed that majority of the participants perceive stammerers as nervous, shy, cooperative, friendly, talkative, sensitive, anxious, fearful, perfectionist, intelligent, emotional, aggressive, self-conscious, self-pitying, guarded, introvert. Conclusion: In this study many health professionals considered that there are many negative personality traits that are dominant among stammerers that had to be addressed seriously. Along with negative traits, there are some positive dominant traits of stammerers according health professionals’ perception.

The Relationship between Personality and Postural Control in Young Adults—A Pilot Study

Postural control is a term used to describe how the central nervous system regulates sensory information from other systems to produce adequate motor output to maintain a controlled, upright posture. Emotions (fear, anxiety) and thus personality type can affect the strategy of body control. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of personality on postural control. Thirty-three healthy individuals participated in this study. The big-five model was used to examine personality traits. Each participant performed four different standing tasks (one and both legs standing with eyes open (eo) and closed (ec): 2eo, 2ec, 1eo, 1ec). We showed that the dominant personality traits in the study group were extraversion and agreeableness. There were significantly low negative associations between nonlinear parameters and personality traits. A moderate correlation was noted for the 1eo trial between Openness and the Lyapunov exponent. In conclusion, nonlinear measures provide a possible link between personality and postural control. The relationships detected are weak. It shows that factors such as visual control and the size of the support area rather than personality will play a significant role in describing postural control.

Job satisfaction, personality traits, and its impact on motivation among mental health workers.

BackgroundWorking in a resource setting that caters to people’s poor mental health is associated with increased vulnerability to physical, psychological, and social stressors that make motivation to work a difficult goal to attain. One way of viewing physical and social stressors in the workplace is to evaluate job satisfaction which has both intrinsic and extrinsic components. The personality of workers is a component of psychological wellbeing and this determines the way events and situations are perceived. Thus, the achievement of the mission and vision of an organisation will be dependent on the level of motivation of the employees which will be influenced by their predominant personality traits and the level of satisfaction at work.AimMy study aimed to sought to highlight the relationship between motivation, job satisfaction and personality dimensions.SettingThe Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria.MethodsOur study involved a cross-sectional study of staff showing the relationship between motivation, job satisfaction and personality traits among mental health workers. A total of 146 participants using systematic proportional sampling were analysed with a response rate of 67.3%. A Socio-demographic Questionnaire, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (Short Version), Big Five Inventory and the Multidimensional Work-Motivation Scale were administered to the participants. In the analysis, linear correlation and linear regression were used to determine the relationship between continuous variables (Normality was determined using kurtosis and skewness) while t-test was used to determine the relationship between categorical independent variables and continuous dependent variables.ResultsThe level of significance was set at < 0.05 while higher scores using the Multidimensional Work-Motivation Scale represented motivated participants and vis-a-vis. The socio-demographic variable was explored using descriptive statistics; the relationship between personality, job satisfaction and motivation were explored using t-test. Most of the participants were married (80.8%), female (60.3%), with at least tertiary education (63%) and with an occupational status of class I (76%). The mean age of the participants was 40.29 ± 8.27 with a mean length of service of 13.63 ± 8.49. The most dominant personality traits were agreeableness (97.3%) and conscientiousness (97.3%), and the least was neuroticism (55.5). High agreeableness (0.01), high conscientiousness (0.03), and high openness (0.01) were significant and positively correlated with motivation. The relationship between motivation and gender (t = 4.26; p ≤ 0.001) and occupational status were statistically significant (t = -3.59; p ≤ 0.001).ConclusionTo proffer a solution to poor motivation in the workplace, human resource department should give more focus to individuals with high scores in agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness. This is because it appears that they are more likely to be motivated at work and likely to move the organisation to a greater height. Besides, those with high neurotic scores who have already been employed will require some form of psychological remodelling (therapy), so they can contribute meaningfully to the institution.

Effects of Leader Narcissism on Career Success of Employees: An Interpersonal Relationship Perspective.

Previous studies have shown that leader narcissism has a significant impact on the effectiveness of a leader and employee behaviors; however, research on career outcomes of employees is still inadequate. This study explores the effects of leader narcissism on the career success of employees from an interpersonal relationship perspective and examines the mediating role of supervisor-subordinate conflict and the moderating role of dominant personality traits of employees. Data from 291 employees in Chinese companies have revealed that leader narcissism, directly and indirectly, affects the career success of employees through supervisor-subordinate relationship conflict. However, dominant personality traits of employees strengthen the impact of leader narcissism on supervisor-subordinate relationship conflict. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings of this study are further discussed.

Exploring paramedicine student preferences using Holland's vocational theory: A cross-sectional study.

Holland's RIASEC typology is a classification of vocational personality types and work environments. Having a predisposition for their vocation, in terms of a personality that is congruent to their work environment, may be protective for paramedics with regards to both their mental and physical health. The purpose of this study was to identify paramedicine students' vocational preference according to Holland's RIASEC model. Bachelor of Paramedicine degree students in the three different year levels completed the 48-item Brief RIASEC Marker Scales to determine their order of the six RIASEC personality types. In this study, the paramedicine students' three most dominant personality types were Social-Investigative-Artistic, differing from the defined Holland Occupational Code for paramedics of Realistic-Social-Investigative. Male students scored significantly higher on the Reality personality type, whereas female students scored significantly higher on the Social personality type. Overall, this study found many students to possess two of the three dominant personality traits that form the desired Holland code for paramedics. This suggests that many students may be better able to cope with the demands of the paramedicine profession upon employment.

Personality Traits and Annual Income Determine the Willingness to Pay for a Single Tooth Implant.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the factors influencing the willingness to pay for a single tooth implant in Malaysia and to assess if an additional evidence-based patient education video increases the willingness to pay. A total of 100 subjects seeking single tooth replacement at the Oral Health Centre, International Medical University (IMU), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were asked to complete questionnaires about personal demographics and personality traits. Subsequently, they were randomly allocated into two groups. Group C received a conventional patient–dentist interaction on treatment options for missing teeth, while Group EV received the same content with an additional evidence-based video on the survival rate and complications for each option from recent meta-analyses. Willingness to pay the median price and the highest price that the subjects were willing to pay were assessed by a structured bidding process. A higher annual income was significantly associated with willingness to pay the median price for a single tooth implant (χ2 = 6.91, p = 0.03). Dominant personality traits of openness (r = −0.25), conscientiousness (r = −0.30) and agreeableness (r = −0.20) were negatively correlated with the highest price that the patients were willing to pay for a single tooth implant (Pearson’s correlation test, p < 0.05). No significant difference in willingness to pay was found between Group C and Group EV (χ2 = 0.05, p > 0.05). In conclusion, patient education strategies for single tooth replacements with dental implants should be customized based on a patient’s personality and income to maximize effectiveness.

Understanding personality traits of students and their physical activity engagement: A convergent design

The observed low level of physical activity among the students drives the curiosity to understand the dominant traits of Grade 10 students and whether these traits would associate with their physical activity engagement. Using a mixed method, convergent design, 150 student-respondents were selected from schools in the Cotabato province to respond to the survey questionnaire. At the same time, seven participants were invited to join the In-Depth-Interview and ten participants in the Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The statistical tools used were frequency, mean, standard deviation, and Chi-Square Test for Association. Results revealed that agreeableness was the most dominant personality trait possessed by the Grade 10 students. Their physical activity engagement was moderate. The results further showed no significant association between personality traits and physical activity engagement among the participants. Moreover, the qualitative findings revealed five essential themes: a healthy and active lifestyle, school and home-based physical activity, positive emotion, social and physical demands, and personal belief and support. As to how participants’ physical activity shaped their values, attitudes, and commitment, essential themes such as attention focus, positive disposition, prioritized task, and trying new physical activities emerged. Finally, data integration revealed nine merging-converging, and two of them were merging-diverging in nature.

Does Social Media Addiction Differ by Personality Traits? A Study on Undergraduate Tourism Students

The potential relationship between social media addiction and personality traits is an essential topic in tourism studies, though it is rarely examined. Thus, this study aims to examine whether undergraduate tourism students are addicted to social media and, if so, the possible relationship between this addiction and their personality traits. The research used the descriptive method, one of the quantitative research methods. The questionnaire technique and the convenience sampling method were preferred to amass the data. Data were collected from 454 undergraduate tourism students and analyzed with the Pearson correlation test by using SPSS 25. This research has revealed that the students' dominant personality trait is agreeableness with a low-level social media addiction. The research has also found a positive relationship between neuroticism personality traits and social media addiction and a negative relationship between personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, and social media addiction. The research has revealed that tourism students are dependent on social media. Social media addiction is a type of addiction that harms individuals' personal development and business life. Accordingly, theoretical and practical studies should be carried out to combat this addiction. To this end, it is crucial to develop more sophisticated combating methods according to an individual's personality traits and carry out awareness and training studies in the practical field. The literature has scarcely examined the relationship between undergraduate tourism students' personality traits and social media addiction. Therefore, this study is believed to contribute to filling an important gap in the literature.

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN TEACHERS’ PERSONALITY TRAITS AND TEACHERS’ BURNOUT: MODERATING ROLE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Purpose of the study: The current study aims to recognize the association between teacher's personality traits and burnout in District Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The current study predicts the moderating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between personality traits &amp; burnout levels of university teachers.&#x0D; Methodology: Quantitative research method was used in this study. Questionnaires were distributed to 317 samples of university teachers in District Peshawar, KP, and Pakistan. To check validity KMO &amp; Bartlett's test was used. Cronbach Alpha Coefficient was used to test reliability. Meanwhile, hypotheses were tested through regression analysis and t-tests.&#x0D; Main Findings: It was indicated that openness to experience and neuroticism personality traits predict emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, extroversion &amp; neuroticism express personal achievement. Emotional intelligence significantly moderates the association between a teacher's personality traits &amp; burnout. Additionally, it was found that female and private sector university teachers were more burnout than male and public sector university teachers.&#x0D; Applications of the study: This study will add to the present level of understanding of constructs like personality traits, emotional intelligence, and burnout. The findings of this current study will also help university teachers to know about their dominant personality traits, their emotional level of intelligence. The current study results will help stimulate further research.&#x0D; Novelty/Originality of the study: To our knowledge, there are only fewer amount of research studies on studying the association between teachers' burnout &amp; personality traits in university teachers particularly, in the context of Pakistan. Keeping in view that previous studies were not focused on the role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between the above-mentioned dependent and independent variables.
