Abstract: Base on 389 undergraduate students and with self talk scale,self awareness scale and emotional intelligence scale,the relationship among self talk,self awareness and emotional intelligence were explored to indicate the mediating role of self awareness in the relationship between self talk and emotional intelligence.The results were that in Chinese undergraduate students,the score of self reinforcement was the lowest,and the next lower was social assessment,and the scores of self criticism and self management were the highest;self awareness could explain total variance of self talk and emotional intelligence,and play total-mediating role;self awareness contained two constructs,private self awareness and public self awareness,private self awareness could explain partial variance of self talk and emotional intelligence and play partial-mediating role,and so did public self awareness;private self awareness could explain more variance and mediate the relationship more.

Key words: undergraduate, self talk, emotional intelligence, self awareness
