Abstract
In recent years, enhancing emotional skills in students is one of the goals that has gained interest in the educational field. This is greatest accentuated if student training is related in the future to the professional performance associated with social interaction, as is the case with professions belonging to health sciences. This is the case of disciplines such as Psychology, in which social and emotional skills are essential to your good practice. The objectives of the research are intended to analyze the differences between university students of the degree in Psychology in emotional intelligence; as well as examining whether sex and age are related to these differences. The participants were 212 unit students of the Psychology degree who were applied the TMMS-24 (2004), a scale of 24 items in 5-point Likert format and composed of three dimensions (emotional dimension, emotional understanding and emotional repair). Tests indicated moderate emotional intelligence. Similarly, differences were found in these emotional competencies based on sex and age. The results show differences between students in some dimensions of emocional intelligence; as well as differences between the sexes and according to the age group in several of these dimensions. These results are discussed, both in relation to age and gender differences in different emotional intelligence factors.
