This study tried to figure out the role of Emotional Intelligence for developing coping strategies among adolescents who face traumatic events. Late adolescence students who have enrolled into the university education (Bachelors/Masters) were selected as the sample. University education is an important stage of students' academic life. Therefore, all students need to develop their competencies to attain the goal of passing examinations and also to developing their wisdom related to scientific knowledge they gathered through their academic life. Study has been conducted in a cross cultural manner and it took place in Germany and Sri Lanka. Late adolescence is a critical period of human being as it is a foot step in their life which acquiring the emotional and social qualities in their social life. There are many adolescents who have affected by traumatic events during their life span but have not been identified or treated. More specifically, there are numerous burning issues within first year of the university students namely, ragging done by seniors to juniors, bulling, invalidation and issues raise based on attitudes changes and orientation issues. Those factors can be traumatic for both their academic and day to day life style. Older, involved in ragging students sometimes have to left the university (as a result of suspension). Younger students may be traumatized as victims of Raggings and thus impaired in their social life. Determining the resilience, emotional damage, post-traumatic stress disorder of those affected by ragging are strictly necessary in order to achieve effective rehabilitation of students regarding their academic performance of their social life at the university.

„Das junge Erwachsenenalter ist retrospektiv betrachtet für die meisten Menschen die glücklichste Zeit ihres Lebens gewesen. In der Echtzeit ihres Erlebens war diese Zeit aber für viele von ihnen geprägt durch extrem viele Entwicklungsaufgaben und traumatische Erlebnisse. Dabei mischt sich in diesen Komplex von lebenssituations-bezogenen Erfahrungen in dieser Lebensphase eine Kulturspezifik, die der Autor eindrucksvoll belegen kann. So sehen sich Universitätsstudenten aus Sri Lanka im ersten Studienjahr gewalttätigen Übergriffen älterer Studenten nach wie vor ausgesetzt, was als Initiierungsritual des „Ragging“ in Sri Lanka nach wie vor trotz Verbotes praktiziert wird.“

This research work is relevant not only to the university population but also to the youth and adolescence who are overcoming traumatic experiences in their life. Moreover, the research has revealed important outcome figuring out cultural differences of coping styles during the rehabilitation process after traumatic experiences. Moreover, this work points out how they use their Emotional Intelligence and Resilience during this process. I firmly believe this work would be a great resource for the people who want to understand the facts, which can influence by Trauma and rehabilitation process. Especially the methodology and the sample came from a European Culture (Germany) and an Asian Culture (Sri Lanka) made the research project a cross-cultural validation.”
