    The objective of this research project is to identify the influence of emotional intelligence on the level of machismo in university students and as specific objectives: determine the level of predominant emotional intelligence, assess the level of dominant machismo in students and differentiate the degree of machismo in men and women. It is important to mention that the variable machismo, being a broad concept studied from various approaches such as social and anthropological, but not only the psychological one, the research specifically addressed the concept of sexual machismo, in order to better delimit the present study, whose approach is quantitative, explanatory and crosssectional. Two psychological assessment instruments were applied to 171 students from a public university in the canton of Latacunga. The instruments used were the Bar-on emotional intelligence scale and the sex machismo scale (EMS-Sexismo-12). As a result, the variables of emotional intelligence and sexual machismo do not have a statistically significant correlation. It was determined that 68% of the population has a low coefficient of emotional intelligence, followed by 29% normal and 3% high or higher emotional intelligence. Regarding sexual machismo levels, 57.89% have a medium level of machismo and 42.10% are low, it should be noted that there were no high levels of machismo in the population. In addition, in terms of gender predominance, an average of 23.97 in men and 19.40 in women was determined. It is necessary to conduct a more in-depth study regarding the factors that could predetermine a sexist sexual behavior, so it is recommended in the future to carry out correlational studies that answer this broad question.
