Abstract : This study investigates the relationships between emotional intelligence, hope, and resilience in adolescents, focusing on hope and resilience as predictors of emotional intelligence. Using a quantitative approach, 100 Indian adolescents were surveyed using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue-ASF), Children's Hope Scale (CHS), and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). Analysis revealed significant positive correlations between emotional intelligence and hope (r = 0.71, p < 0.01), emotional intelligence and resilience (r = 0.55, p < 0.01), and hope and resilience (r = 0.43, p < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that hope and resilience together accounted for 58.27% of the variance in emotional intelligence (R2 = 0.5827), with both hope (β = 2.48, p < 0.01) and resilience (β = 1.69, p < 0.01) emerging as significant positive predictors. These findings contribute to understanding how hope and resilience influence emotional intelligence in adolescents, suggesting that interventions promoting these traits can enhance emotional intelligence and psychological well-being. The study underscores the importance of fostering hope and resilience in adolescents to improve their academic, social, and emotional outcomes.
