Items are rated on a 5-point scale anchored by “not at all” (0) to “extremely” (4)and the Brunel Mood Scale with 6 sub-scales(anger, confusion, depression, fatigue, tension, and vigor) are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree).

In order to analysis the data, After use of K_S (p?0/05) and convinced about data normality, were use the descriptive statistic (mean, standard error) and multivariate analysis of variance (ANOVA), Post-hoc results were conducted on those subcomponents of emotional intelligence that demonstrated statistical significance at p < .05 level, Pearson coefficients to investigate differences between variables (p?0/05).
The finding of research showed a significant relationship between mood and self-efficiency (F=5/29, p < 0/000) and performance (F=3/46, p < 0/000) in handball players. Although there werenʹt significant relationship between Self-awareness (sig=0/23) and Empathy (sig=0/16) with emotional intelligence, overall there were significant relationship between (F=6/28, p < 0/03) emotional intelligence and performance.
