Data were analyzed with Pearson correlation formula. Results: Findings showed positive and significant correlation between components of emotional intelligence (Appraisal of emotion, regulation of emotion and utilization of emotion) with achievement motivation in two groups. But, the correlations were higher in male students than female students. Also more analysis showed differences between female and male students. Females have more scores in achievement motivation and all components of emotional intelligence than male students.
