Resumen
Several indicators are strongly related to health and well-being in university students,
such as emotional intelligence and physical activity. At the same time, some qualities threaten it and
are incompatible with students’ adaptation to society in general, such as aggressive behaviours. The
aim of this research is to analyse the relationship established between emotional intelligence using
TMMS-24, physical activity, using IPAQ, and aggression behaviours in university students. For this
purpose, a descriptive, cross-sectional and non-experimental study was developed with 932 undergraduates (M = 20.55; SD = 3.673). The findings highlight how emotional intelligence and physical
activity practice decrease violent behaviour in university students. In addition, men tend to have
more aggressive behaviours than women as well as the relation between physical activity and emotional intelligence is stronger in all its dimensions. Results highlight the importance of including
emotional intelligence programs in order to enable undergraduate well-being.
