Their age ranged from 60 to 75 years. The UCLA Loneliness Scale was used for measuring loneliness. In order to check the level of depression in old aged people, Hindi adaptation of Beck’s Depression Inventory was applied. For the analysis of the obtained scores t-ratio and co-efficient of correlation were computed. The result confirmed all the hypotheses. The findings on the whole indicated that there is significant difference between loneliness and depression level of old aged people.

Emotional intelligence is crucial in life; thus, proper stimulations, including music, were necessary. The study aimed to identify the relationship between music preference and emotional intelligence and also to find if there is any significant difference in emotional intelligence among music preference groups. Descriptive correlational method with cross-sectional approach and purposive sampling technique were employed. Most of the students prefer unpretentious music genres and having "moderate" emotional intelligence (M=121.85, SD=11.3). No significant difference in emotional intelligence between music preference groups from Kruskal-Wallis analysis; however, Spearman's analysis shown that “sophisticated” music genre was positively weak correlated with emotional intelligence (p=.028<.05; r=.218). Furthermore, the music type of Gospel, New Age, Pop, Religious and Soundtracks type of music were positively weak correlated with emotional intelligence, while Punk was negatively weak correlated. It is recommended that profesi ners students be wise in music selection since music may have a significant impact on emotional intelligence, and for further studies should ensure that the participants are familiar with the STOMP that they may understand the genre. Furthermore, future studies also may use direct observatory analysis for emotional intelligence by giving situational experiment to the participant rather than just using a self-rated questionnaire. Keywords: emotional, intelligence, music, student, nurse Kecerdasan emosi memiliki peran yang sangat penting untuk kehidupan karena itu perlu adanya stimulus yang tepat, salah satunya dengan menggunakan musik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran preferensi musik serta kecerdasan emosi pada mahasiswa profesi ners Universitas Klabat serta mengidentifikasi perbedaan kecerdasan emosi berdasarkan preferensi musik dan juga untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan preferensi musik dengan kecerdasan emosional. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik deskriptif korelatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional dengan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan paling banyak mahasiswa menyukai musik dengan genre unpretentious dan memiliki kecerdasan emosi “sedang”. Ditemukan juga bahwa tidak ada perbedaan dalam kecerdasan emosional berdasarkan preferensi musik berdasarkan uji Kruskal-Wallis, namun dari uji Spearman menunjukkan bahwa Gospel, New Age, Pop, Religious dan Soundtracks memiliki hubungan positif dengan kecerdasan emosi, sedangkan musik Punk memiliki hubungan yang negatif. Rekomendasi bagi mahasiswa profesi ners agar bijaksana memilih jenis aliran musik yang tepat guna meningkatkan kecerdasan emosional dan bagi peneliti selanjutnya yang ingin mengadopsi dan menggunakan Tes Preferensi Musik (STOMP) harus memastikan bahwa mereka mendengarkan setidaknya satu dari lagu-lagu tersebut, agar peserta tahu jenis musik yang dimaksud. Penelitian selanjutnya juga dapat melakukan pengukuran observasi perilaku langsung dengan memberikan ujian situasional untuk menguji kecerdasan emosi kepada partisipan gantinya menggunakan kuesioner “self-rated”.

The purpose of this research is to provide some insights into financial literacy among undergraduate students focusing primarily on the relationship between financial knowledge, financial attitudes and financial behavior and on possible gender and financial education gap in financial literacy. Using the purposive sampling technique, data collection was carried out from April to June 2020, yielding a sample of 1,046 valid responses. To gain a better understanding of the relationship between financial behaviour, financial attitudes and financial knowledge, we, primarily, use exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression model. The research findings have revealed several important issues. First, findings have suggested that financial knowledge, financial attitudes and gender may be considered as an antecedent of the financial behaviour of undergraduate students. Second, findings have also suggested a statistically - significant difference between the financial literacy of undergraduate students concerning their exposure to formal financial education.
