The purpose of this study was to examine both the mediating and moderating effects of core self-evaluations on the relationship between emotional intelligence and life satisfaction among Chinese university students. Forth hundred and twenty-four (161 males and 263 females) from two different Chinese universities completed the measures of core self-evaluations, emotional intelligence and life satisfaction. Correlational analysis indicated that emotional intelligence was related to core self-evaluations and life satisfaction, and core self-evaluations were related to life satisfaction. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that core self-evaluations partially mediated the influence of emotional intelligence on life satisfaction. However, core self-evaluations did not act as a moderator of the relationship between emotional intelligence and life satisfaction. The significance and limitations of the results are discussed.
