Aging is a natural and complex process that is characterized by a series of biological, psychological and social changes that occur throughout the life cycle of an individual. It begins from birth and continues until death, and is reflected in a gradual decline in physical and mental abilities. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize and regulate one's own feelings and emotions, as well as those of others. In the context of aging, emotional intelligence is an important construct that can significantly influence the quality of life of older adults. The research was carried out with a population of 311 in a sample of 50 older adults selected through non-probabilistic and convenience sampling, a mixed approach was used, with a non-experimental research design, and a descriptive and correlational methodology. . Data were collected through psychometric tests such as the standardized Folstein Mini-Mental Test validated by the Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion (MIES) of Ecuador and the Folstein Mini-Mental Test (MMSE) validated by Ramirez, Moncada and Baptista ( 2011); the Pfeiffer questionnaire (SPMSQ), validated and adapted by Sandra Reyes de Bea-man (2015) and finally the Goleman emotional intelligence test validated by María Elena Llumiguano (2023). The results obtained after the statistical analysis using the Coefficient Spearman Correlation of the JAMOVI program, there was no correlation between aging and emotional intelligence, that is, by checking the correlation between the Mini-mental Test and the Goleman EI Test, it showed p= 0.085; while in verifying the relationship between the PFEIFFER Questionnaire and the Goleman EI Test, p=0.563 was determined. Thus, both scores are outside what is required for a statistically significant relationship to exist. |
