Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate middle school physical education students' views on psychological support and the development of their emotional intelligence. Conducted in Spring 2024 using the quantitative research model, the study included 186 voluntary participants. Students received psychological support training to enhance emotional intelligence, followed by a data collection tool to gather information. Data were collected using the "students' views on emotional intelligence development and psychological support" tool, which has been tested for validity and reliability. Data were compiled into distribution tables and analyzed to support the findings. Emotional intelligence among secondary school students improved significantly with psychological support, showing positive outcomes. The study highlights the importance of combining psychological support and emotional intelligence development in physical education, which is essential for students’ growth. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' emotional intelligence, supported by effective psychological interventions. Gender-based disparities in emotional intelligence between male and female students also showed a decreasing trend. The study ultimately reveals that the psychological support provided to participants was highly successful, resulting in significant enhancements in their emotional intelligence.
