As can be seen in Table 5, there was a .1255 difference favor of female
students in terms of the averages of male and female students obtained
from the emotional intelligence scale. In order to determine whether
this difference was statistically significant, a t-test was conducted by
using SPSS 18.0 software and it was found to be 2.174. As the p-value
was .031 < .05 when calculated with a 95% confidence
interval, it can be said that the difference between the emotional
intelligence levels of female and male students was statistically
significant. In line with this result, with a 95% confidence interval,
it can be said that the emotional intelligence levels of female students
were higher than male students.
