The Role of Emotional Intelligence, the Teacher-Student Relationship, and Flourishing on Academic Performance in Adolescents: A Moderated Mediation Study

“…Moreover, several reviews and meta-analyses provide evidence to consider emotional intelligence as a trainable ability in adults (Hodzic et al, 2018;Kotsou et al, 2019;Mattingly and Kraiger, 2019). Nonetheless, some intervention programs also have found that emotional intelligence can be trained in adolescents (e.g., Motamedi et al, 2017;Viguer et al, 2017;Cantero et al, 2020). In line with our findings, researchers and practitioners should foster the development of students' emotional intelligence, particularly among those who have low-quality relationships with their teachers.…”

Determining the Reliability of the Emotional Competency Module on Malaysian Adolescents

“…Hence, it was found that the Emotional Competency Module was highly reliable. This is similar to many previous studies which showed that emotional intelligence training can indeed enhance emotional intelligence (Vijayalaxmi & Kadapatti, 2013;Castillo & Fisher, 2017;Motamedi, Ghobari-Bonab, Beh-pajooh, Shokoohi Yekta, & Afrooz, 2017).…”

“…Meanwhile, other studies also indicate that emotional intelligence programs or trainings were potentially good in enhancing overall emotional intelligence (Dolev & Leshem, 2017;Castillo & Fisher, 2017;Motamedi, Ghobari-Bonab, Beh-pajooh, Yekta, & Afrooz, 2017;Vijayalaxmi & Kadapatti, 2013). Similarly, enhancing emotional intelligence has been shown to improve behaviours (Dolev & Leshem, 2017), improve the life quality of mothers with children with leukaemia illness (Taghizadeh, Masoompour, & Shrinabadi, 2017), reducing the usage of aggression to solve conflicts violence among adolescence to prevent violence (Garaigordobil & Pena-Sarrionandia, 2015), predict significant changes in confusion, perceived stress, mental health, somatic complaints and vigor (Hodzic, Ripoll, Bernal, & Zenasni, 2015).…”

Uso Problemático Del Smartphone Y Ajuste Psicológico en Adolescentes: El Papel Clave De La Inteligencia Emocional

“…La evidencia aportada tiene una implicación fundamental para la prevención del PSU: estudios meta-analíticos y de revisión sistemática han concluido que la IE es una capacidad que puede desarrollarse de forma eficaz por medio de intervenciones guiadas (Hodzic et al, 2018;Kotsou et al, 2019;Mattingly y Kraiger, 2019). Asimismo, algunos estudios en los que se ha trabajado específicamente con población adolescente han encontrado que los programas de intervención que pretenden mejorar la IE, además de ser efectivos aumentando dicha capacidad (Motamedi et al, 2017;Viguer et al, 2017), también tienen repercusiones en otras áreas, como el rendimiento académico (Cantero et al, 2020) y los niveles de agresividad de los adolescentes (Castillo-Gualda et al, 2019;Hojjat et al, 2017).…”
