Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and prosocial behavior among migrant Papuan ethnic students studying at Satya Wacana Christian University (UKSW) in Salatiga. This study uses a quantitative method with a correlational design. The research subjects were 70 Papuan ethnic students selected through random sampling. Data collection was conducted using the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i) and the Prosocial Tendencies Measure (PTM). Data analysis employed Pearson Product Moment correlation techniques. The results of the study indicate a significant positive correlation between emotional intelligence and prosocial behavior, with a correlation coefficient of 0.637 and significance of 0.001 (p < 0.01). This means that the higher the emotional intelligence of students, the higher their tendency to exhibit prosocial behavior. These findings emphasize the importance of developing emotional intelligence to support the social adaptation of Papuan ethnic students.
