The data gathered through emotional intelligence scale (Schutte et al. 1998), physical-social anxiety inventory (Hart et al. 1989) and satisfaction with life scale (Deiner et al. 1985). Then, structural equation model used to consider cause and effect relationship between variables. The results showed that emotional intelligence imposed positive and significant effect on life satisfaction. Also, emotional intelligence imposed negative effects on psychical-social anxiety and psychical-social anxiety made negative effect on life satisfaction. Finally, it is claimed that emotional intelligence had positive and significant effect on life satisfaction through physical-social anxiety.
