Abstract
Understanding the role that emotional intelligence plays in the life of an adolescent is paramount in trying to ascertain success in life. As outlined by Salovey and Mayer (1990), emotional intelligence is broken into four subscales: perceiving, facilitating, understanding, and managing emotions. This study examines the impact that overall emotional intelligence, and each subscale of emotional intelligence, has on juvenile deviant behavior in one Utah school district. Using secondary data received from Lance (2003), 152 high school students, ages 14 to 18, were surveyed using three different questionnaires: a demographic survey, the Emotional Intelligence Inventory, and the Normative Deviancy Scale.
