Forty participants, who were students taking an introductory psychology class, took part in this research by self-reporting their past involvement in CCA and completing the Wong Emotional Intelligence Scale (Wong, Law, & Wong, 2004) to assess their level of EI. The results suggest that, during secondary school years, participants in student associations have a significantly higher level of EI in later years than participants who took up sports as their CCA.
