“…Both the CT skill (Vahedi et al, 2015) and disposition (Kang, 2015;Stedman and Andenoro, 2007) were found to be significantly associated with EI. Duto glu and Tuncel (2008) reported that an individual with advanced CT abilities was also likely to have high EI for nursing students (Kaya et al, 2018). It was also found that emotional literacy program designed to develop emotion-related skills can promote overall academic learning by enhancing abstract reasoning and CT (Brackett and Katulak, 2007).…”

Undergraduate student, especially first-year students face challenges in the new found academic environment. Critical thinking (CT) has been found to be effective in managing negative experiences. Earlier literature found Emotional intelligence (EI) is accounted for variance in critical thinking (CT) skill irrespective of the gender. However, there is scarcity of research on the relationship between EI and CT disposition with respect to gender. The present research intended to study the effect of EI on CT disposition of students in the transition phase with gender as a moderator. 500 first-year undergraduate students from West Bengal (eastern part of India) were selected to fill up assessment tools; the Profile of Emotional Competence (Brasseur et al., 2013) and Critical Thinking Disposition Assessment (Ricketts & Rudd, 2005). Structural Equation Model (SEM) was followed using AMOS adopting maximum likelihood approach. Path analysis revealed an accepted model fit establishing EI to have significant effect on CT disposition. However, this effect was not moderated by gender. The present research might be helpful in generating awareness regarding the importance of EI and training for developing disposition of CT among college fresher's well-being and emotional health. The study has highlighted the non-significant moderating role of gender in relation to EI and CT disposition that was missing in the existing literature.

“…We found the perceived emotion and selfemotional regulation were the predictors of CT skills. Therefore, it is likely that medical students' EI plays an important role in the regulation of CT skills, and that good critical thinkers are more effective in handling emotions when face with ambiguity [23]. Higher EI is associated with increased cognitive competence, more rational behavior, and improved sociability [15].…”

“…According to Kaya et al [23], research on EI of nursing students is pivotal because it can affect the quality of their CT skills, adoption of evidence-based practice and practice-based knowledge in their practice. Despite its importance, there is little empirical research on CT and EI of medical undergraduates.…”

Background Medical students are supposed to utilize critical thinking (CT) to resolve problems in healthcare settings. And the complex clinical environment requires effective collaboration and communication. Students with higher emotional intelligence (EI) are more sensitive and can cope with the interpersonal communication better. Conflict is also inevitable in the medical workplace. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of CT, EI and conflict management modes (CMM) of the medical undergraduates, explore the correlation between CT and EI, CMM, and provide a theoretical evidence basis for the medical education. Methods A cross-sectional study of medical students from Jilin University was conducted using a questionnaire containing three parts: Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version (CTDI-CV), Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II (ROCI-II). Demographic data relating to gender, grade and specialty were also collected. Data was analysed using T-tests, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results A total of 282 (95.39% response rate) medical undergraduates participated in this study. Students had a positive level of CT (Mean (SD) =281.12(27.40)). There was a positive correlation between the overall CT skills and the overall EI competencies (P < 0.01). For each dimension of ROCI-II, the total CTDI-CV score was significantly positively associated with integration and compromise scores (p < 0.01), significantly negatively associated with domination and compliance scores (p < 0.01) but not with avoidance score. The integration, perceived mood, compliance, dominance, and self-emotional regulation were good predictors of overall CT (adjusted R2 = 0.355). Conclusions Our findings showed medical undergraduates’ CT had significant correlations with EI and CMM. In other words, it was possible that the development of EI and conflict management skills might improve medical students’ CT. Therefore, further study is needed to uncover how educators can effectively foster EI and conflict management abilities to enhance the level of CT.

“…For HRPs to be the best people centered persons, they must possess both critical thinking and emotional intelligence skills. Elder, L., (1997) in [7] stated that critical thinking provides a vital link between intelligence and the emotions and seeks to determine the quality emotional intelligence [8]. It was emphasized that emotions and thoughts should not be considered as different concepts, as they were indispensable to each other, and because emotions formed the basis of thoughts [9].…”
