Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine associations between subjective wellbeing and emotional intelligence in the Lithuanian youth sample. In the research, a simple random sample consisted of 556 respondents. The procedure was administered online and followed the General Data Protection Regulation guidelines. Before data gathering, this study was reviewed and approved by the research ethics board of the Institute of Management and Psychology. The study revealed strong positive associations between subjective wellbeing and emotional intelligence, and the fit of the model on associations between the variables of wellbeing and emotional intelligence was good. The theoretical significance of the study is that the paper reveals the essence of the existence of a latent factor of subjective well-being. The practical significance is that the results of the study can be used in the practice of psychological counseling and psychodiagnostics to assess the relationship between subjective well-being and emotional intelligence.
