Abstract: In this investigation, the 13 emotional intelligence skills (Nelson, Low, & Vela, 2003) were examined for 157 Texas principals as a function of their gender and to their years of administrative experience. Statistically significant differences in emotional intelligence skills were revealed as a function of gender, with female principals having higher emotional intelligence skills in Comfort, Empathy, Leadership, and Drive Strength than male principals. Differences were not present as a function of years of administrative experience. Implications of our findings are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
