Abstract

The aim of this study was to show the state of the emotional competence, considered transferable competence in the new university framework, and its relation with personality. We analyzed the emotional competition (EQ-i) and the personality (NEO-FFi) of 640 students of 1st year of different areas of knowledge at the UdL (231 men, 409 women, M = 18.7 and SD = 1.9).

Tests Turkey, interrelations between the results and a multiple regression analysis were realized to determine if there exist differences between the areas of knowledge and gender. Those differences were identified and also correlations between emotional competence and personality.
