“…Therefore, happiness cannot depend on their absence, but on a balance between the quantity and intensity of pleasant/unpleasant. In such a way, people who pay too much attention to their emotions and moods and do not have an adequate emotional clarity and repair would not be capable enough to understand and regulate the different emotional states [69,70,71,72].…”

The present study aimed to analyze the association between of the dimensions of emotional intelligence (attention, clarity, and repair) and different levels of perceived happiness (low, medium, and high) in adolescents. The sample consists of 646 students in the first, second, third, and fourth years of Secondary Education, 47.5% females and 52.5% males, between 12 and 17 years of age. The instruments used were the Spanish version of the Trait Meta Mood Scale-24 Questionnaire to measure perceived emotional intelligence and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. Multinomial logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed. The results suggest that as the capacity of understanding and regulation of emotional intelligence increases, happiness also increases. Adolescence is seen as an ideal time in life to encourage the development of emotional capacities that contribute to the greater happiness of individuals. In this way, the present study stresses the need to carry out practices leading to improvements in the adolescents’ emotional intelligence and therefore increase their happiness and emotional well-being.

“…Prior studies have shown that higher emotional intelligence can relieve stress and anxiety (21) and can improve people’s overall sense of life satisfaction (22). Furthermore, many studies have found that emotional intelligence has a significant and positive effect on inhibiting mental symptoms (23, 24). Therefore, we can hypothesize that emotional intelligence plays a mediating role in the effects of childhood maltreatment on mental symptoms.…”

et al. 2019

Childhood maltreatment and its influence on mental health are key concerns around the world. Previous studies have found that childhood maltreatment is a positive predictor of mental symptoms, but few studies have been done to explore the specific mediating mechanisms between these two variables. Previous studies have found that there is a negative correlation between childhood maltreatment and emotional intelligence and between childhood maltreatment and social support, both of which are strong indicators of mental symptoms. Therefore, in this study, we took emotional intelligence and social support as mediating variables, exploring their mediating effects between childhood maltreatment and mental symptoms via the structural equation modeling method. We recruited 811 Chinese college students to complete the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the Symptom Checklist 90 Scale (SCL-90), the Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), and the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). The results showed a significant and positive correlation between childhood maltreatment and mental symptoms ( β = 0.26, P < 0.001); meanwhile, social support played a significant mediating role in the influence of childhood maltreatment on emotional intelligence [95% confidence intervals, (−0.594 to −0.327)]; and emotional intelligence likewise played a significant mediating role in the effect of social support on mental symptoms [95% confidence intervals, (−0.224 to −0.105)]. These results indicated that childhood maltreatment not only directly increases the likelihood of developing mental symptoms, but also affects emotional intelligence through influencing social support and then indirectly increasing the likelihood of developing mental symptoms. This study provided a theoretical basis for ameliorating adverse effects of childhood maltreatment on mental symptoms by enhancing emotional intelligence and social support.

“…Considering the effects of emotional intelligence, many researchers have investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and mental health (Rosenstein & Stark, 2015). Emotional intelligence components could predict mental health (Martínez González et al., 2010). Meanwhile, analytical researches have shown emotional intelligence as one of the most important predictors of mental and physical health (Rosenstein & Stark, 2015).…”
