Bullying and cyberbullying are important global issues with negative consequences for physical and mental health in education. The objective of this study was to analyze to what extent some dimensions of emotional intelligence predict certain manifestations of bullying and cyberbullying in adolescents. The total number of subjects recruited in compulsory secondary education schools, was 309 (53.1% female). Their ages ranged from 12 to 16 (M = 14.17, SD = 1.4). The used instruments were the school violence questionnaire and the emotional coefficient inventory; the study design was cross-sectional. Results showed that the score increases on some scales (adaptability, stress management, and interpersonal) involved a greater risk of increasing the likelihood of social perception the different manifestations of school violence. However, in the general mood, the increase in this variable score implied lower perceiving in likelihood of violent behavior. It is important to take into account preventive actions aimed at improving school life and, above all, to alleviate difficulties in managing stress, adaptability, and interpersonal relationships.

The study of emotional intelligence (EI) in work environments is a trending topic. However, few studies have examined the relationship between EI and salary. Therefore, the presented research aims to analyze the influence of EI on salary using a multioccupational sample. The participants were 785 subjects aged between 18 and 58 years (M = 39.41; SD = 10.95). EI ability was measured using the Mobile Emotional Intelligence Test (MEIT), while the salary was collected together with other sociodemographic variables in a questionnaire created ad hoc. After controlling for the age, gender, social class, educational level, and work experience variables, the results of correlation and regression analysis showed that participants with higher EI and emotional-repair capacity generally have higher salary. These findings provide preliminary evidence that EI is a relevant variable in achieving career success. The ability to channel and manage emotions could help employees develop stronger interpersonal relationships, leading to higher positions and greater financial compensation.

Long Term Impact

Loneliness and social isolation have negative consequences on physical and mental health in both adult and pediatric populations. Children with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD) are often excluded and experience more loneliness than their typically developing peers. This scoping review aims to identify the type of studies conducted in children with NDD to determine the effects of loneliness and/or social isolation. Three electronic databases (Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO) were searched from inception until 5 February 2019. Two independent reviewers screened the citations for inclusion and extracted data from the included articles. Quantitative (i.e., frequency analysis) and qualitative analyses (i.e., content analysis) were completed. From our search, 5768 citations were screened, 29 were read in full, and 12 were included. Ten were case-control comparisons with cross-sectional assessment of various outcomes, which limited inference. Autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and learning disorder were the most commonly studied NDD. This review showed that loneliness among children with NDD was associated with negative consequences on mental health, behaviour, and psychosocial/emotional development, with a likely long-term impact in adulthood. Lack of research in this area suggests that loneliness is not yet considered a problem in children with NDD. More studies are warranted using prospective designs and a larger sample size with a focus on the dynamic aspect of loneliness development.

Background: Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a type of social intelligence.  Excellent scores are achieved by displaying high levels of empathy in interpersonal relationships, strong skills in managing stressful situations as well as other personal competencies. Many of the social competencies that EI describes may have a direct impact on patient care. The objective of this study was to describe EI of pediatric residents and to identify if there are EI skills that should be selected for targeted intervention.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study administering the EQ-i 2.0© psychometric instrument to pediatric residents at the University of Alberta.Results: Thirty-five residents completed the EQ-i 2.0© (100% response rate). Their overall EI score was not significantly different than a normative group of college-educated professionals. Residents had relative strengths in the subcategories of Emotional expression, Interpersonal Relationships, Empathy, and Impulse Control (all p<0.05).  Areas of relative weakness were in the subcategories of Stress Tolerance, Assertiveness, Independence, and Problem Solving (all p<0.05).  Conclusion: The EI of pediatric residents is consistent with that of other professionals. Educational interventions may be useful in the areas of weakness to enhance the physician-patient relationship.

Emotional intelligence skills in students may be related with physical and mental health, within and outside the academic field. Strengthening these skills can lead to greater overall well-being, lower use of substances, and improved academic performance, as well as reduced aggressive behaviours. The objective of this study was to analyse the levels of emotional intelligence (differentiating between the dimensions: emotional Attention, Clarity, and Repair) among high school students and examine its relationship with academic performance and emotional well-being, considering if there are differences between boys and girls and between different grades. A cross-sectional descriptive study was developed on a sample of 333 High School students using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) and KIDSCREEN-10 Index tools. Differences in emotional intelligence were observed between boys and girls for the three dimensions, and a relationship between emotional intelligence and student well-being was appreciated. No relationships were found between emotional intelligence and academic performance, nor have any differences been observed between the different courses analysed. It cannot be concluded that academic performance is related to emotional intelligence, but a relationship between well-being and emotional intelligence is found.

Abstract.AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR BY GENDER AND SCREEN LEISURE IN SCHOOLCHILDREN FROM THE PROVINCE OF GRANADAAggressive behaviors in schoolchildren represent a phenomenon that generates great concern, because it is in childhood that many aspects of personality begin. Also, multiple studies have shown how these types of behaviors can relate to various factors, such as peer groups, family environment or specific leisure habits. This descriptive and cross - sectional study aims to study the violent behavior of a sample of 530 schoolchildren in the province of Granada, as well as to relate these behaviors to the gender and the leisure time of participants’ screen. An Ad Hoc questionnaire and the Violent Behavior Scale in the School (Little et al., 2003) are used as main instruments. The results reveal higher levels of Manifest of pure and reactive type for the male gender, which could be due to higher levels of impulsivity associated with hormonal factors and sociocultural components. Likewise, a proportional relation between television hours and violent behaviors is obtained, increasing the average values in Manifest and Relational Aggressiveness by increasing the levels of screen leisure; Which demonstrates the negative influence exerted by the abusive use of television in this problematic.Key Words: School; Violence; Aggressiveness; Gender; Television.Resumen.Los comportamientos agresivos en escolares representan un fenómeno que genera gran preocupación, pues es en la niñez donde se inician muchos aspectos de la personalidad. Asimismo, múltiples estudios han demostrado como este tipo de conductas pueden relacionares con diversos factores, como son los grupos de pares, el entorno familiar o hábitos de ocio concretos. Este estudio de tipo descriptivo y corte transversal, pretende estudiar las conductas violentas de una muestra de 530 escolares de la provincia de Granada, así como relacionar estos comportamientos con el género y las horas de ocio de pantalla de los participantes. Se utilizan como principales instrumentos un cuestionario Ad Hoc y la Escala de Conductas Violentas en la Escuela (Little, Henrich, Jones y Hawley 2003). Los resultados revelan niveles superiores de Agresividad Manifiesta de tipo puro y reactivo para el género masculino, lo que podría deberse a mayores niveles de impulsividad asociados a factores hormonales y componentes de tipo sociocultural. Asimismo, se obtiene una relación proporcional entre las horas de televisión y las conductas violentas, aumentando los valores medios en Agresividad Manifiesta y Relacional al aumentar los niveles de ocio de pantalla; lo que demuestra la influencia negativa que ejerce el uso abusivo de televisión en esta problemática.Palabras Clave: Escuela; Violencia; Agresividad; Género; Televisión.
