Abstract
This study aims to investigate how personality traits and emotional
intelligence can predict the quality of life of caregivers of the children with
learning disabilities. The sample included 60 caregivers (25 fathers and 35
mothers) of children diagnosed with learning disabilities, chosen from special
and inclusive schools in Uttar Pradesh, India. The results indicated that
extraversion (r = .39, p < .01), agreeableness (r = .41, p < .01), and conscientiousness
(r = .44, p < .01) were positively linked to quality of life, whereas
neuroticism (r = –.47, p < .01) demonstrated a negative association.
Additionally, emotional intelligence showed a positive correlation (r = .52, p
< .01) with overall quality of life. In other words, it was concluded that
Caregivers who are emotionally intelligent and possess positive personality
traits enjoy greater well-being and resilience. Improving emotional
intelligence through various training and support initiatives could
significantly enhance the quality of life for caregivers of children with
learning disabilities in India.
