This research aims to look for a relationship between Anxiety, Loneliness, and Emotional Intelligence Among University Students. Anxiety is also defined as a feeling of concern, fear, or unease (Tobias 2013). Anxious persons may begin to sweat, feel tense, and experience a quick heartbeat. Loneliness is often defined as a state of solitude or being alone, but the perception of being alone and isolated is more significant than the actual state of mind (Tiwari, 2013). Salovey and Mayer (1990) defined emotional intelligence as the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings, discern between them, and utilize this information to guide one's thinking and actions. All measurements will be distributed as a questionnaire to the 314 participants who are students at Near East University in North Cyprus. The questionnaire that the researcher used for this study includes: UCLA Loneliness Scale by Russell et al. (1978)., Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) by Hamilton, (1959), Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) by Wong & Law (2002). This research found that there are significant links between emotional intelligence, loneliness, and anxiety. Loneliness and anxiety have a substantial positive connection (r = 0.327, p < 0.01), suggesting that loneliness leads to increased anxiety. Furthermore, loneliness has a substantial negative correlation with emotional intelligence (r = -0.331, p < 0.01). On the other hand, this research revealed the effects of gender, level of education, accomodation and nationality on relationship between anxiety, loneliness and emotional intelligence. The findings show that there are no significant gender differences in loneliness, anxiety, or emotional intelligence among the participants, with all p-values beyond the 0.05 level. A t-test comparison investigation of emotional intelligence, loneliness, and anxiety between undergraduates and graduates yields significant findings. Thus, the data imply that nationality had no significant effect on participants' levels of loneliness, anxiety, or emotional intelligence. The t-test analysis revealed that there is a significant link between loneliness and anxiety with accommodation. A t-test comparison investigation of emotional intelligence, loneliness, and anxiety with relationship status revealed no significant link between these variables.
