Emotional intelligence includes self-perception regarding attention to feelings, clarity of feelings and mood repair. The aim of this work is to study the relationship between emotional intelligence, self-concept, and self-esteem. The sample included 137 adolescents from Buenos Aires City, that attended middle school, with a mean age of 13.12 years old (SD = 1.79). Correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were performed. Results showed significant positive correlations between self-esteem and clarity of feelings on the complete sample and the female subsample, and between mood repair and self-esteem on the male subsample. The linear regression analyses showed results on the same line. It´s concluded that positive self-evaluation regarding emotions, emotion comprehension and recovery can minimize the effect of negative experiences.

Executive Function is a multidimensional construct that includes a wide range of cognitive abilities that allow solving goal-directed behaviors efficiently. Its development begins in early childhood and continues through adolescence. A key aspect of Executive Function is planning, defined as the capacity to generate and organize the necessary step sequence to carry out a goal-directed behavior. The aim of this study was to assess the development of planning in children. The Tower of London task was used in 270 children aged 6, 8, 11, and 13 years. The results showed that the time required to generate and organize the plan to solve a goal-directed problem increases as the difficulty of the problem increases, and that older children need less time to solve problems with a certain level of difficulty than younger children F(15, 1330) = 8.787; MSE = 1.441; p < .01; η2 =.090. These results are in line with the findings that planning develops through childhood and even during the first years of adolescence.
El fluir (flow) refiere a situaciones en las que los sujetos se implican en actividades por motivación intrínseca experimentando en la realización un gran disfrute. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la validación del Inventario Breve de Experiencias Óptimas en una muestra de adolescentes. Para ello se les administró el Inventario Breve de Experiencias Óptimas junto con medidas externas a 211 adolescentes escolarizados de la Ciudad autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina, con una media 14.26 años (DE =1.21). El inventario está compuesto por 9 ítems, a partir de los cuales se obtiene un puntaje total de experiencia óptima en la actividad evaluada. Se analizaron las propiedades psicométicas del instrumento, estimando la consistencia interna y las evidencias de validez. Los resultados permiten concluir que el inventario es válido y confiable para medir las experiencias óptimas en adolescentes escolarizados de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina.Palabras clave: Experiencia óptima - Actividades - Adolescentes - Validación
