"Childhood experiences play a crucial role in shaping an individual's emotional intelligence. Exposure to early positive experiences can influence an individual's ability to manage, regulate, and understand emotions. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between positive childhood experiences and emotional intelligence among fourth-year Hospitality Management students as a basis for creating an emotional intelligence enrichment program plan. Specifically, it explored the students' demographic profile, such as sex and family structure, assessed their levels of positive childhood experiences and emotional intelligence, and the relationship between demographic profiles and both variables. This study employed the descriptive-correlational research design. Using Cochran's formula, a stratified random sample of two hundred twenty-five (225) respondents was selected. This study was conducted at the University of Cebu-Banilad, the University of Cebu-Main, and the University of Cebu-Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue. The researchers utilized a researcher-made questionnaire to measure positive childhood experiences and a modified Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test to measure emotional intelligence. In treating the data, frequency, percentage, weighted mean, Chi-square test, and Pearson R were used. The researchers ensured that ethical considerations such as beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and autonomy were upheld and adhered to throughout the research. The findings revealed that respondents had moderately high levels of positive childhood experiences and above-average levels of emotional intelligence. Demographic factors like sex and family structure (family size and living arrangements) were found to have a significant relationship with positive childhood experiences, while no direct association was found with emotional intelligence. A moderate positive correlation was found between positive childhood experiences and emotional intelligence. Thus, early childhood experiences play a pivotal role in the development of emotional intelligence, underscoring the importance of nurturing environments in fostering empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation, which are valuable for personal and professional growth. An emotional intelligence enrichment program plan for fourth-year hospitality management students was created in line with the findings." —Abstract Adult Yap, Feliciana College of Psychology Psychology Text in English Developmental psychology.
