Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The proposed study, titled "Effectiveness of Emotional Intelligence Training among Bangladeshi Youth," aims to evaluate the impact of a 4-week online Emotional Intelligence (EI) training program on the emotional competencies of Bangladeshi youth. Emotional intelligence, which encompasses skills such as self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and relationship management, is crucial for personal and professional success, as well as mental well-being.

The study hypothesizes that targeted EI training can enhance emotional competencies, leading to improved social skills, decision-making, and mental health outcomes. This is particularly significant in the Bangladeshi context, where such programs are scarce, and youth face numerous societal pressures. The research will employ a quantitative, experimental design, comparing pre- and post-training EI levels between an experimental group (participants undergoing EI training) and a control group (participants not receiving the training).

Participants, aged 18 to 30 years, will be recruited from educational institutions across Bangladesh. The study will use the Bengali version of the Emotional Intelligence Scale to assess EI levels and a structured Personal Information Form to collect demographic data. The training program will consist of four weekly sessions, each focusing on a core EI component: self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and relationship management. The sessions will be conducted by experts in public health and psychology.

Data analysis will involve descriptive statistics, t-tests, and regression analysis to evaluate the training's effectiveness and explore the influence of demographic variables. Ethical considerations, including informed consent and data confidentiality, will be strictly maintained.

This study is expected to provide valuable insights into the role of EI training in fostering resilience and mental health among Bangladeshi youth, contributing to healthier communities and informing future policy and program development.
