Abstract

The person as a social being is marked by interaction with others, such as emotional bonds and social relationships, and therefore of their skills and behavior. This reality is recognized as important from world organizations to internal ministries. The line of research is social and educational behavior. The objective of the research is to determine the influence of emotional intelligence in the relationships of university couples. The dimensions were investigated by variable, in the first: "attention, clarity and emotional repair"; and the second: "intimacy, passion and commitment". According to the "Triangular theory of love". The research had a quantitative approach and a descriptive correlational level. Previously validated questionnaires were used to describe and analyze each variable for its subsequent correlation with a hypothesis test. The questionnaires were applied to 93 men and 176 women, with a population of 269 students between 19 and 41 years old, from the Faculty of Jurisprudence and Social Sciences in the careers of Social Work, Communication and Law of the Technical University of Ambato. The main findings in IE were better attention and regulation in men and greater clarity in women. Relationships with a time of "more than 4 years" scored better in emotional regulation, "less than 6 months" and "6 months to one year" presented better levels of emotional attention. The other variable found moderate levels in its dimensions. In addition, the implementation of a "School for Couples" project was presented as a proposal.
