This meta-analysis research aims to find the true correlation (true effect) between emotional
intelligence and life satisfaction. In addition, it maps the dispersion of the correlation effect of the
study after being corrected. This research consisted of 35 studies and involved 12,805 subjects.
The estimator for this research used Hunter-Schmidt (HS). 92 studies were collected, and 35 met
the criteria; they were analyzed by the correction method of sampling and measurement error.
From the analysis, we found that the correlation between emotional intelligence variables with
life satisfaction was moderately positive. The Q test was proven significant with the I

value, also
showing high heterogeneity of data. After sampling and measurement correction, the correlation
mean effect is 0.349 and 0.412, respectively. Both of the confidence interval predictions do not
contain zero (0.28-0.41 barebone analysis; 0.33-0.47 measurement correction). Egger's test found
that there was no correlation between standard error and outcome effect (p=0.35 and p=0.299),
implying that no reporting bias across studies. These results reinforce that emotional intelligence
influences life satisfaction with cross-cultural, cross-ages samples. |
