The goal of this research is to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence with the Big Five personality model. A sample of 300 undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and 69 (M = 21.41; SD = 4.99) filled the Trait Meta Mood Scale (TMMS-24, Salovey, Mayer, Goldman et al., 1995) and the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI; Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003). The correlation analysis performed shows some overlap between the dimensions of emotional intelligence and the Big Five factors. The results of the regression analyses are in line with trait emotional intelligence model and support the association between certain factors of the Big Five (particularly with extraversion and emotional stability) and the dimensions of emotional intelligence. The present study contributes to expanding the literature on the relationships between emotional intelligence and personality. Keywords: emotional intelligence; personality; Big Five; higher education.Downloads
