Emotional Intelligence (EI) has emerged as a crucial psychological construct influencing individual adjustment, interpersonal relationships, and professional success. The present study aims to examine emotional intelligence with respect to gender (male and female) and residence (urban and rural). A total of 100 participants (50 males and 50 females) were selected, equally divided into urban and rural groups. The Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS-HPD) developed by Hyde, Pethe, and Dhar was used for data collection. The results revealed that females scored higher than males, and urban participants demonstrated higher emotional intelligence than rural participants. Statistical analysis using t-test and two-way ANOVA confirmed significant differences across gender and residence. The findings highlight the influence of socio-cultural and environmental factors on emotional intelligence.
