The sampling method of choice has been stratified sampling. To gather the required information, Bar-on’s emotional intelligence questionnaire and Morgan-Jenkins’s self-efficacy questionnaire were applied. To analyze the data, descriptive statistic methods such as mean, median, exponent and standard deviation were used and univariate and multivariate regression tests were simultaneously implemented in the inferential statistics part. The results indicated that there is a significant relationship between the emotional intelligence and academic self-efficacy. Furthermore, the regression results demonstrated that emotional intelligence account for 81%, respectively, of the students’ academic self-efficacy.
