Abstract
The present study aimed to find out the impact of emotional intelligence and self-concept on interpersonal relationships among orphans in adolescence. Participants (N = 150) were selected in the study which comprised of males (n=78) and females (n=72). Their age range was from 13 years to 19 years. A cross-sectional survey research design was implied in the study, and data was collected through a purposive sampling technique. Brief Emotional Intelligence-10 (Davies et.al., 2010), Self-concept Questionnaires-18 (Dolejš, M., et.al 2023), and Functional ideo-graphic assessment template-32 (Darrow et al., 2014) were used. Results showed that Emotional Intelligence and Self-concept are positively correlated with Interpersonal relationships. Moreover, Emotional Intelligence and self-concept predicted 8% of Interpersonal relationships. Results illustrated that men scored higher on emotional intelligence and self-concept while females were better on interpersonal relationships. Moreover, age difference was also examined among all study variables. The results also demonstrated significant differences in orphan status among maternal, paternal, and double orphans on Emotional intelligence. The findings of this study revealed that the three variables Emotional Intelligence, Self-concept, and Interpersonal relationships are positively correlated. Gender, age, and Orphan's status significantly impact emotional intelligence, self-concept, and interpersonal relationships.
