Abstract	This study investigated the relationships between e motional intelligence and academic achievement among 151 undergraduate psychology students at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Barbados, making use of Barchard (2001)’s Emotional Intelligence Scale and an Academic Achievement Scale. Findings revealed significant positive correlations between academic achievement and six of the emotional intelligence components, and a negative correlation with negativ e expressivity. The emotional intelligence components also jointly contributed 48 % of the variance in academic achievement. Attending to emotions was the best pre dictor of academic achievement while positive expressivity, negative expressivity and empathic concern were other significant predictors. Emotion-based decision-maki ng, responsive joy and responsive distress did not make any significant relative cont ribution to academic achievement, indicating that academic achievement is only partia lly predicted by emotional intelligence. These results were discussed in the c ontext of the influence of emotional intelligence on university students’ academic achie vement.
