In addition, teachers¡¯ differences on EI and burnout were examined with respect to demographic variables. The participants were administered EI and Burnout questionnaires. The results obtained through using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation showed that there were significant negative correlations between EI and burnout, burnout, teaching experience and age and positive correlations between teachers¡¯ EI, teaching experience, and age. Finally, using T-Test, the researchers found no significant differences in teachers¡¯ EI and burnout with respect to gender.
