Abstract

The research aimed to identify psychological empowerment among female students at the College of Basic Education and to identify emotional tact among female students at the College of Basic Education. It also aimed to identify the nature of the relationship between psychological empowerment and emotional tact. The current research sample was limited to (300) female students from the College of Basic Education for the academic year 2023-2024 from the scientific and humanities departments. The researchers built two scales, one to measure psychological empowerment and the other to measure emotional tact. The psychological empowerment scale in its final form consists of 30 paragraphs, while the emotional tact scale consists of 30 paragraphs after deleting two paragraphs. The psychometric properties of the items were extracted for validity, reliability, and discrimination. After using the appropriate statistical means and according to the objectives, the results showed that there are statistically significant differences in emotional tact and psychological empowerment in favor of the research sample of female students from the College of Basic Education. The results also showed a significant correlation between psychological empowerment and emotional tact.
