As for the research sample, it consisted of (300) male and female students who were tested in a stratified random way from the faculties and departments of Tikrit University, using statistical methods. The validity, discrimination, and stability were verified using the following statistical methods (chi square, Vakronbach equation, t-test for one sample, t-test for two independent samples, analysis of variance). After processing the data statistically, the following results appeared:
- Postgraduate students have a high level of emotional intelligence.
