In addition, it maps the dispersion of the correlation effect of the study after being corrected. This research consisted of 35 studies and involved 12,805 subjects. The estimator for this research used Hunter-Schmidt (HS) . 92 studies were collected, and 35 met the criteria; they were analyzed by the correction method of sampling and measurement error. From the analysis, we found that the correlation between emotional intelligence variables with life satisfaction was moderately positive. The Q test was proven significant with the I2 value, also showing high heterogeneity of data. After sampling and measurement correction, the correlation mean effect is 0.349 and 0.412, respectively. Both of the confidence interval predictions do not contain zero (0.28-0.41 barebone analysis; 0.33-0.47 measurement correction) . Egger's test found that there was no correlation between standard error and outcome effect (p=0.35 and p=0.299), implying that no reporting bias across studies. These results reinforce that emotional intelligence influences life satisfaction with cross-cultural, cross-ages samples.  \nKeywords: emotional intelligence, life satisfaction, meta-analysis, systematic review, intelligence  \nINTRODUCTION  \nPeter Salovey and John Mayer first popularized the term “emotional intelligence” around 1990, and it was then published by Goleman (1995) in his book. Mayer also added that the source of emotional intelligence is the emotions themselves, which will surely experience changes when the individual is related to other individuals (Mayer, Caruso & Salovey, 2000) . Emotional intelligence is intelligence that influences an individual's ability to assess his emotions and the emotions of others concerning problem-solving (Bar-On, 2010; Saricam, Celik & Coskun, 2015) . In the education field, students that possesses high emotional intelligence will also be more motivated and have the skills to collaborate with other individuals (Parker, Saklofske, Wood, & Collin, 2009) . Emotional intelligence is divided into five domains (Salovey & Mayer, 1990): empathy, self-knowledge, regulation of emotional conditions, self-motivation, and regulation of interpersonal relationships. Empathy is our ability to understand what is being thought by other individuals through observation of verbal and non-verbal behavior. In short, empathy is closely related to the sensitivity to feel what other people feel. Selfknowledge is related to how far we understand our emotional state. Usually, individuals who can predict the condition of their emotions can distance themselves from emotional outbursts, whether in a positive or negative state. Self-motivation is related to emotional integration to achieve goals. Emotional regulation aims to pull up negative emotions or cultivating positive emotions so that they are stable and constant for future event. Finally, interpersonal relationships are related to negotiating and persuading the emotional states of other individuals.  \nThe relation between academic achievement and emotional intelligence is relatively high (Hogan et al., 2010; Suleman et al., 2019), so it can be concluded that emotional intelligence contributes to student  \nCitation: Hartanto., & Helmi, A.
