| Sumario: | This study was a quantitative meta-analysis of empirical research on the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and academic performance (AP) that included the threemain theoreticalmodels of EI.We conducted a computerized literature search in the main electronic databases. Forty-four of an initial 3,210 articles met the inclusion criteria. With 49 effect sizes and a cumulative sample size of 19,861 participants, we found significant heterogeneity indices indicating a variety of results. In general, the results of this study indicated a significant effect of EI on AP (Z = 0.26). Average association between EI and AP was higher in studies measured EI as ability (Z = 0.31), than studies measured EI as self-report (Z = 0.24), and self-report mixed EI (Z = 0.26). In the educational field, this meta-analysis provides information on the specific role of EI as a function of used measures. Some practical implications are discussed. |
