Abstract

University students often face emotional pressure due to academic demands and social expectations, making emotional regulation an essential skill. This study aims to explore the relationship between self-compassion and emotional intelligence among students, using the Korean drama When Life Gives You Tangerines as a reflective emotional context. The drama was selected for its strong depiction of self-compassion values relevant to students' emotional challenges. Using a quantitative correlational approach, the study involved 32 randomly selected students and utilized a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure both variables. Data analysis through Pearson Product-Moment correlation revealed a positive and significant relationship between self-compassion and emotional intelligence (r = 0.272; p = 0.028). Although the correlation falls within the low category, the result indicates that higher self-compassion is associated with better emotional understanding and regulation. These findings highlight the importance of fostering self-compassion as a foundational element in developing emotional intelligence and supporting students' psychological well-being.
