Abstract

This research investigates the connection between young people' life happiness, self-esteem, and emotional intelligence.  The Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale were used to evaluate 270 individuals who were purposively selected and between the ages of 20 and 30.  Significant positive correlations between the three variables were found in the findings.  According to regression analysis, age and emotional intelligence are important indicators of life happiness.  Self-esteem and emotional intelligence were shown to vary by gender, and emotional intelligence was strongly influenced by socioeconomic level.  These results highlight the importance of emotional abilities and provide insights into psychological well-being in emerging adulthood.
