Emotional Intelligence, Substance DependentAbstract
Alcoholics (substance addicts) were studied to a healthy control group in terms of Emotional Intelligence in this study (Non- Addicts). Only a little amount of study has been done over the participants for EI. In order to conduct this study, 40 patients with alcoholism and 40 non-alcoholics were recruited. It was used to measure Emotional Intelligence in all participants. Emotional Intelligence was assessed using an independent t-test, and the alcohol-dependent group scored considerably lower than the control group.
