The Impact of Religiosity on Emotional Intelligence and Creative Thinking Abilities in University Students
This study explores the relationship between university students' emotional intelligence, religiosity, and creative thinking skills. Creative thinking is crucial for innovation and job creation, while emotional intelligence involves understanding and managing emotions, which are vital for a successful life. Using a descriptive research method, data were collected from 120 university students selected through convenience sampling. Three scales measured emotional intelligence, religiosity, and creative thinking skills. The analysis revealed a relationship among these variables, indicating that emotions, mediated by religiosity, can enhance creative thinking skills in students. Most respondents agreed that they can regulate their emotions, and the study highlighted that religion aids in emotion regulation. Religion helps manage emotions in critical situations, promoting calmness and creative thinking.
