摘要:Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a social intelligence all individuals possess, but is essential for healthcare practitioners. The purpose of this study was to determine level of Emotional Intelligence of undergraduate Athletic Training students and first year graduate assistants. Additionally, this study sought to investigate the changes that occur as a student matriculates through an undergraduate Athletic Training Education Program and into their first year as a professional. Participants in the study included 43 individuals (39 undergraduate, 4 graduate) from two accredited Athletic Training Education Programs. Subjects completed the 33-item Emotional Intelligence Scale. ANOVA results lacked significance, but the findings demonstrated the trend that EI levels were higher for individuals in the undergraduate program as compared to first year professionals.
