Emotional management is a decisive factor in building stimulating environments for the comprehensive development of individuals. In this study, 338 students enrolled in education degrees (n = 338), with an average age of 22.88 years (±5.50), participated. The following instruments were used: Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEI-S), Trait Meta Mood Scale 24 (TMMS 24) and Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQi-C). The objective was to determine the complementarity of certain dimensions of EI that predict greater life satisfaction based on the multivariate statistics of structural equations. The multi-group model obtained good structural validity (χ2 = 103,729; RMSEA = 0.078; GFI = 0.917; CFI = 0.942; IFI = 0.943). In addition, significant correlations were found between life satisfaction and all dimensions were included in the emotional intelligence instruments used (p < 0.01). In terms of gender, we found that women had higher scores in all EI dimensions, in contrast to life satisfaction, where men had higher scores. The findings suggest the importance of working emotions in future educators to become satisfied and effective professionals.
El presente estudio pretende mostrar evidencias sobre la relación entre inteligencia emocional, calidad de vida (criterios objetivos y subjetivos) y satisfacción vital en personas con Discapacidad Intelectual. La muestra está compuesta por 15 sujetos (n=15), con una edad media de 34.93 años (±12.28) y grado de discapacidad promedio del 64.07%. Se utilizaron los siguientes instrumentos: Trait Meta Mood Scale 24 (TMMS 24), Escala INICO-FEAPS (modalidad autoinforme e informe de otras personas) y Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Los resultados evidenciaron la relación positiva entre algunas de las dimensiones de inteligencia emocional, calidad de vida y satisfacción vital (p<.05). Por otra parte, los análisis de regresión mostraron la asociación positiva entre inteligencia emocional (reparación) y satisfacción vital (criterios subjetivos); calidad de vida (bienestar físico y bienestar emocional) y satisfacción vital (criterios objetivos). Las consecuencias prácticas de este estudio sugieren fomentar programas de inteligencia emocional para este colectivo. The present study attempts to provide evidence of the existing relation between emotional intelligence, quality of life (objective and subjective criteria) and life satisfaction in people with Intellectual Disability. The sample of the study is composed of 15 subjects (n=15) aged 34.93 on average (±12.28) who have a disability degree ratio of 64.07%. The following tools were used: Trait Meta Mood Scale 24 (TMMS 24), INICO-FEAPS Scale (self-report and other people’s report) and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). The results proved the positive relation between some of the dimensions of emotional intelligence, quality of life and life satisfaction (p<.05). On the other hand, the regression analysis showed a positive association between emotional intelligence (reparation) and life satisfaction (subjective criteria); quality of life (physical and emotional wellness) and life satisfaction (objective criteria). The practical consequences of this study suggest that emotional intelligence programs for this collective ought to be encouraged.
The circumstances arising from the exceptional situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have affected all socioeconomic areas in the last two years. The field of Education has not been an exception, and the management of the situation seems to have caused an increase in the level of perceived stress of university students. On this basis, this research that aims, first, to analyze the student’s level of perceived stress during the de-escalation and return to normality period, secondly, to evaluate its relationship with life satisfaction and, finally, to detect the students’ needs in stress management, has been developed. An exploratory-descriptive study of quantitative and cross-sectional nature has been carried out. A total of 222 university students of the Childhood and Primary Education Degrees of the University of Jaén (Spain) have participated. The instruments, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) have been used. The results show a moderate and partial relationship among the dimensions of the used instruments. The obtained coefficients of determination are, Academic Performance (r² = 0.019) and Life Satisfaction (r² = 0.402), with a mean square error (SRMR) of 0.079. These findings show the need to develop actions within the university training program in effective stress management strategies.
High-level performance in mountain sports would be unlikely unless different emotional factors are taken into account through the analysis of psychological characteristics, such as mood, resilience, or motivation, among many other variables. In this study, 788 people with a sports degree from the Spanish Federation of Mountain Sports and Climbing (FEDME) participated, 75.3% of whom were men and 24.5% of whom were women. The mean age of the participants was 49.8 years (±12.8), ranging from 18 to 76 years. The Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS-S), the RS-14 Resilience Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) instruments were used. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between the dimensions of emotional intelligence, resilience, and life satisfaction. The results showed a relationship between several of the dimensions from the instruments used (p < 0.01). In terms of gender, higher scores were found for women than for men. The regression model shows that both the dimensions of emotional intelligence [appraisal of own emotions (β = 0.104; p < 0.001); use of emotions (β = 0.30; p < 0.001); emotional regulation (β = 0.103; p < 0.001)] and resilience [personal competence (β = 0.402; p < 0.001)] are predictors of greater life satisfaction, positively explained by the regression model with 44.1% accuracy. Further proposals should extend the results obtained to the analysis of more sports modalities to provide evidence that would complement those extracted in this research.
