| Summary: | <p>This study examines whether emotional intelligence and perceived social support are</p><p>significant predictors of delinquency. This cross-sectional study applied a quantitative</p><p>approach using the survey method. Data for this study were collected using three</p><p>measures to evaluate emotional intelligence, perceived social support and delinquency</p><p>among students in hotspot schools. Three questionnaires used are USM Emotional</p><p>Quotient Inventory, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale and Delinquency</p><p>Scale. Total of 352 samples where n=189 male and n=163 female among Form 4</p><p>students in hotspot schools in Petaling Jaya district, Selangor. Respondents of this study</p><p>were recruited through random sampling to answer the questionnaires. In inferential</p><p>statistics, multiple regression analysis was used for data analysis and interpretation. The</p><p>result showed that combination of five domains; emotional control, emotional</p><p>conscientiousness, emotional awareness, emotional expression, and family</p><p>significantly contribute 27% to predict delinquency. Emotional expression has the</p><p>largest beta coefficient, =-.52 while emotional control showed smallest beta</p><p>coefficient, = -0.48. In conclusion, emotional control, emotional conscientiousness,</p><p>emotional awareness, emotional expression, and family are domains that significantly</p><p>predict delinquency. Findings of this study enhance further understanding on domains</p><p>in emotional intelligence and perceived social support that predicts delinquency.</p> |
