Modeling the structural relationships between social responsibility, emotional intelligence, and positive social behavior among Al-Azhar University students

The current study aimed to understand and explain the relationships of each of Social responsibility (with its dimensions: attention, understanding, and participation), emotional intelligence (with its dimensions: knowing and evaluating emotions and expressing them, emotional facilitation of thinking, understanding emotions and employing emotional knowledge, managing emotions in oneself and in others), and social behavior.  Positive (with its dimensions: positive thinking, social support, and altruism) among Al-Azhar University students; and to verify the possibility of reaching a structural trajectory model that explains the nature of the relationships between the variables in the study sample,  The study sample consisted of (375) students from Al-Azhar University enrolled in the second semester of the year 2021/2022 AD, and their ages ranged between (18-23) years, with a mean of (21,146) years, and a standard deviation of (1,739);  The tools of the study were applied to them: the emotional intelligence scale of Mayer, Salovey and Karso (2002), the Fatima Musa calibration (2007), the social responsibility scale "K" by Sayed Othman (1986), and the positive social behavior scale (prepared by: the researcher). The researsh results indicated with Using path analysis (AMOS software. V.24) to a structural model that explains the relationship between the three variables,Where there was a positive and statistically significant effect of emotional intelligence on social responsibility, and the presence of a positive and statistically significant effect of social responsibility on positive social behavior, which indicates that the social responsibility variable mediates the relationship between the emotional intelligence variable  and positive social behavior.
