Passion scale (Vallerand et al., 2003), and Emotional Intelligence scale
(Al-Alwan, 2011) were used to collect data. Results indicated that the
level of Academic Passion and Harmonious passion were high while
Obsessive Passion was medium. The level of Emotional Intelligence
among university students was generally high. There were no significant
differences in Academic Passion. No significant differences were detected
in Emotional Intelligence except for the empathy subscale in favor of

the Harmonious Passion subscale, while the social communication
