Abstract

The present study investigated the role of Emotional intelligence in predicting a sense of humor and hope among adults. A convenience sample of 220 adults (20-35years) was taken from Sargodha' men (n=110), and women (n=110), were given the equal representation in the sample. Emotional Quotient Inventory, Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale and Adult Dispositional Hope Scale were used to measure the emotional intelligence, sense of humor and hope respectively. Simple Linear Regression analysis revealed that emotional intelligence is a significant predictor of hope while nonsignificant predictor of sense of humor. Moreover stepwise regression revealed that only appreciation of humor is significant predictor of emotional intelligence. Significant gender differences were found in hope and agency subscale of hope and finding revealed that level of hope and agency subscale of hope is higher among men as compared to women. Furthermore t- test indicated that there is no effect of gender on sense of humor and emotional intelligence. Practical implications and limitations and suggestions are discussed.
