AbstractThis study analyzes the role of Perceived Emotional Intelligence (PEI) on sources of job stress and mental health in 250 elementary school teachers from Jaén (Spain). The aim of the study was two-fold: (1) to analyze the associations between Perceived Emotional Intelligence (PEI), sources of occupational stress and mental health; and (2) to determine whether PEI moderates the relationship between sources of occupational stress and mental health. An initial sample of 250 teachers was assessed Three questionnaires, the Trait Meta-Mood Scale, the Sources of Stress Scale in Teachers and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form Health Survey, were used to evaluate PEI, sources of occupational stress and mental health, respectively. Teachers with higher levels of emotional attention reported lower levels of mental health (r = –.30; p < .001), while teachers showing high emotional clarity reported better emotional role (r = .14; p < .05) and social functioning (r = .15; p < .05). Moreover, PEI components moderate the relationship between sources of occupational stress and emotional role. Specifically, each significant interaction (i.e., deficiencies x attention, adaptation x attention, and adaptation x clarity) made a small and unique contribution in the explanation of emotional role (all p < .05, all sr2 ∼ .02). Finally, our results imply that PEI is an important moderator of teachers´ occupational stressors on mental health.

Introduction: The relevant scientific literature has confirmed the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and mental health. In addition, previous studies have underlined the importance of perceived EI between family members in the construction of one’s own EI. Adolescence is considered to be a crucial stage in identity construction and a time when mental health is vulnerable. Objectives: To analyze the mediating role of self-reported EI on mental health of adolescents and young adults still living in the family home, we considered the relationship between perceived EI in parents and children. Method: The sample was comprised of 170 children and their respective fathers and mothers living in the same family home. Self-reported EI was evaluated using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24), whereas perceived EI was evaluated via the Perceived Emotional Intelligence Scale-24 (PTMM-24) and mental health using the MH-5. Results: Parents’ perceived EI of their children also children’s perceived EI of their parents has a direct effect on children’s mental health and an indirect effect through the EI self-reported by children. We discuss the differences in the role of mothers and fathers in emotional education and its influence on the results. Conclusions: We highlight the importance of perceived EI among family members, over and above the self-reported EI of each member, for its predictive power on the mental health of children.

Abstract.Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive, use, understand and regulate emotions to facilitate thought (Mayer and Salovey, 1997). The concept of burnout is the English expression to describe what stopped functioning because of the exhaustion of energy (France, 1987, cited by Carlotto, 2012).This study aimed to understand the perceived emotional intelligence as a protective factor against burnout, as well as studying the relationship between emotional intelligence and burnout. The sample was constituted by 250 teachers in the 2nd cycle (26.4%), 3rd cycle (57.2%) and Secondary school (16.4%), with (70.4%) females and (29.6%), males in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (RAM), Portugal. As instruments, we used a socio-demographic and professional’s questionnaire, the trait metamood scale (TMMS-24), the expressiveness and emotion regulation of Berkeley questionnaire and the Maslach burnout inventory (MBI). In the study did not find evidence that marital status, age, length of service and level of education influences taught emotional intelligence and burnout. Only gender seems to influence emotional intelligence. To confirm the statistical relationship between emotional intelligence and burnout, we used Spearman´s correlation test between variables and it was concluded that the higher the repair of emotions, the less emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and higher the revaluation emotions are higher is the emotional exhaustion.Keywords: Emotional intelligence, burnout, teacher, emotional expressiveness, emotional regulation.Resumo.A inteligência emocional é a capacidade de perceber, usar, conhecer e regular as emoções para facilitar o pensamento (Mayer & Salovey, 1997). Já o conceito de Burnout é a expressão inglesa para designar aquilo que deixou de funcionar por exaustão de energia (França, 1987, citado por, Carlotto, 2012). Este estudo teve como objetivos compreender a inteligência emocional percebida como fator de proteção face ao burnout, bem como estudar as relações entre a inteligência emocional e o burnout. No estudo participaram 250 professores do 2º ciclo (26.4%), 3º ciclo (57.2%) e Secundário (16.4 %), do género feminino (70.4%) e do masculino (29.6%), da Região Autónoma da Madeira (RAM), Portugal. Como instrumentos usámos um Questionário de Dados Sócio-Demográficos e Profissionais, o Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24), o Questionário de Expressividade e o de Regulação Emocional de Berkeley e o Inventário de Burnout de Maslach (MBI). No estudo realizado não se encontrou evidências de que o estado civil, idade, tempo de serviço e nível de ensino lecionado influencie a inteligência emocional e o burnout. Somente o género pareceu influenciar a inteligência emocional. Para confirmar a relação estatística entre a inteligência emocional e o burnout foi realizado um teste de correlação de Spearman entre as variáveis e concluiu-se que quanto maior a reparação das emoções, menor é a exaustão emocional e a despersonalização e quanto maior a reavaliação das emoções, maior a exaustão emocional.Palavras-chave: Inteligência emocional, burnout, professor, expressividade emocional e regulação emocional.

Previous research has highlighted the relationship between being cybervictimised and the presence of clinical symptoms, such as depression. To date, however, there has been no comparative analysis of the personal resources profiles of adolescent victims of cyberbullying with and without depressive symptoms. The current study analysed the relationship between positive personal resources and clinical symptoms in 251 adolescent victims of cyberbullying at several Spanish high schools. It examined how several positive personal resources varied in adolescent victims of cyberbullying who displayed symptoms of depression (n = 89) or did not (n = 162). Victims of cyberbullying who displayed depressive symptoms reported lower levels of personal resources (emotional intelligence, gratitude, optimism, and forgiveness) than those who did not. Logistic regression provided evidence that gratitude was the strongest predictor of depressive symptoms in victims of cyberbullying, followed by emotional intelligence and optimism. These findings expand the existing literature on the role of personal resources in mental health and highlight the need for their development in youths to help them cope more effectively and function better after being cyberbullied.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

The present study is an attempt to examine the relationship between academic delay of gratification and emotional intelligence in professional courses students. Sample for the study includes 136 urban students ( 99 boys and 37 girls ) from Engineering, Pharmacy, Law and Education courses of Sultan Ul Uloom Education Society, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The data for measuring delay of gratification is collected using Academic Delay of Gratification Scale (ADOGS) for college students prepared by Hefer Bembenutty (1997). Emotional intelligence is measured by collecting data using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire – Adolescent Short Form (TEIQue- ASF), prepared by Petrides, K. V. and Furnham, A. (2006) for adolescents. For data analysis, Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation coefficient is used. The significance of the test is calculated for the level of significance α at 0.05, using SPSS Statistics Ver.23. Power analysis using G Power Software is used to reveal the minimum sample size to 112 for effect size 0.3 and power 0.9. The findings of the study reveal positive in nature, moderate in strength and highly significant relationship between the variables. No role of gender is found. Educational implications are discussed.

AbstractThe aim of this research was to explore the influence of Perceived Emotional Intelligence (PEI) on aggression dimensions (Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, Hostility, and Anger) above and beyond the effects of gender, age, and personality traits (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience), as well as the moderating role of PEI on the relationship between personality and aggressive behavior, among young adults. The Trait Meta-Mood Scale, the Big-Five Inventory, and the Aggression Questionnaire were administered to a 313 Spanish community sample, comprised of both males (39.0%) and females (61.0%), ranging from 14 to 69 years old (X = 24.74; SD = 9.27). Controlling the effects of age, gender, and personality, PEI dimensions (Attention, Clarity and Repair) accounted for 3% of the variance (p < .05) in Verbal Aggression and Hostility. Interaction analysis showed that all PEI subscales moderated the relationship between four out of the Big-Five personality dimensions (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience) and the aggression dimensions. Particularly, the interaction between Attention and Extraversion and between Clarity and Neuroticism were significant predictors of Total Aggression (b = .67, t(313) = 2.35, p < .05; b = –.71, t(313) = –2.50, p < .05). The results show evidence of the predictive and incremental validity of PEI dimensions on aggressive behavior among young adults and of the moderating role of PEI on the personality-aggression relationship.
