Popis: Emotional Intelligence is a composite set of capabilities that enable a person to manage himself/ herself and others. This study was conducted to explore the basic components of Emotional Intelligence and how far they could be predicted by lifestyle traits and also their association with individual academic performance. By adopting the survey approach, data were collected from a sample of 162 participants comprising medical students enrolled in Undergraduate and Postgraduate programs. For data analyses SPSS version 21 was used and predictions and associations were evaluated by Multiple regression models and Chi-square analysis. Our results reported lifestyle patterns to be weakly predicting Emotional Intelligence; students studying a couple of hours per day were able to achieve good GPAs. Final analysis revealed that a number of factors such as culture and living conditions can have a contributing role in Emotional Intelligence of individuals and their academic performances. Thus, our study has demonstrated variations in lifestyle study patterns among various Undergraduate and Postgraduate students.
