Abstract

This study investigates the extent to which emotional intelligence can be successfully developed through a semester-long classroom intervention and self-directed learning process among students in a college of business administration. We found that with emotional intelligence training, all students experienced improvement between the administrations of pre-tests and post-tests. This result also held regardless of maturity level (undergraduate or graduate student), or gender.
