Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the direct relationships between emotional intelligence, optimism, and romantic relationship satisfaction in emerging adults, and the mediating role of optimism in the relationship between emotional intelligence and romantic relationship satisfaction. The current research was conducted using a relational screening model. Convenience sampling and criterion sampling methods were employed. The participant group consisted of 387 participants (295 girls and 83 boys) aged between 18 and 29 years. Participants completed a demographic form along with measurements of emotional intelligence, optimism, and romantic relationship satisfaction. The research findings initially indicate the significant positive relationships between emotional intelligence, optimism, and romantic relationship satisfaction. Furthermore, the findings show that optimism plays a mediating role in the relationship between emotional intelligence and romantic relationship satisfaction.
