Abstract
Background: Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to understand, integrate and manage emotions related to oneself and others. Evidence also shows that EI plays an important role in motor performance and physical activity. Among the personality traits that may encourage people to do sports activities, EI is related to how people participate in sports. Personality traits may enhance certain types of task effectiveness through information processing, with higher positive emotions contributing to the efficient processing of complex information.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between EI and visual and auditory selective reaction time.
Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on 34 students of the University of Tehran (20-30 years) in the faculty of sport sciences and health. After completing the Bar-on’s questionnaire, the participants were divided into two groups of low EI (19 people) and high EI (15 people). Then, from both groups, the reaction time test was taken with the RT-888 measuring device, ten times (five times with visual stimulus and five times with auditory stimulus). We compute mean of trails. Data analysis was done using SPSS26 and Spearman's correlation test (P≤0.05).
Results: The results showed that there is an inverse and weak relationship between EI and visual reaction time, however it was not statistically significant (P=0.81, r=-0.04). Also, there is a direct and weak relationship between EI and auditory reaction time, which is not statistically significant (P=0.43, r=0.13).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that there is no relationship between EI and visual and auditory selective reaction time.
