Emotional maturity, a key part of Daniel Goleman's idea of emotional intelligence, plays a vital role in college students' success as leaders and in their personal and work lives. It encompasses being aware of yourself, managing yourself, understanding others, and handling relationships. College students need emotional maturity to deal with stress, handle school pressures, build social connections, and make positive choices. The major objective of this study is to examine the correlation between emotional maturity and various factors among college students, building upon prior research. This paper examines the concept of emotional maturity in college students, focusing on its aspects, how it affects them, and what it means for school and personal growth. This review synthesized 20 studies conducted between 1995 and 2021, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to analyse research on emotional maturity in college students. The major variables examined were academic performance, emotional intelligence, emotional maturity, mental health, social relationships, stress management, and leadership abilities. It shows how important emotional maturity is in building toughness, good ways to cope, and overall wellness, and suggests ways to boost it in college.
