ABSTRACT

The current study aims to analyze the difference in emotional intelligence and self-esteem between musicians and non-musicians. The sample involved 110 participants where 55 of them were musicians and the other 55 were non-musicians. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) and Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) were the two questionnaires used to measure Self-esteem and Emotional Intelligence respectively. Mann- Whitney U Test and Independent sample T-Test were used to test the hypothesis. The results showed no significant difference in Self Esteem between musicians and non-musicians. On the other hand, there was a significant difference in the Emotional Intelligence of musicians and non-musicians.
