COVID-19 has spread rapidly and become a health crisis around the world, and negatively affected the mental state of individuals. Emotional intelligence (EI) can play an important role in coping with the mental problems experienced due to the pandemic. This study examined how individuals’ emotional intelligence levels affect depression and satisfaction with life during the COVID-19 period. The study was designed as quantitative and cross-sectional and reached 578 adult participants online. Emotional intelligence trait scale–short form, depression subscale (DASS-21), satisfaction with life scale, and sociodemographic questions as control variables were used as data collection tools in the study. The data obtained were conducted using SPSS 24, PROCESS-Macro, and Amos 25 statistical programs. The hypotheses established were tested by correlation, multiple regression, mediating, and moderating analyzes. Results confirmed that emotional intelligence had a positive association with satisfaction with life and a negative association with depression. In addition, interaction analyses found that age and family type had a moderating effect on satisfaction with life, and depression had a mediating effect. After discussing the importance of emotional intelligence as a coping mechanism in dealing with problems, some suggestions were made to policymakers and practitioners.

“…These activities are likely to enhance consumer’s rights and increase customer’s satisfaction ( Sahibzada et al, 2020 ). A customer who makes an online transaction will be highly satisfied with a website that provides a great experience ( Koçak et al, 2021 ).

The aim of this study is to explore social media marketing activities (SMMAs) and their impact on consumer intentions (continuance, participate, and purchase). This study also analyzes the mediating roles of social identification and satisfaction. The participants in this study were experienced users of two social media platforms Facebook and Instagram in Pakistan. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents. We used an online community to invite Facebook and Instagram users to complete the questionnaire in the designated online questionnaire system. Data were collected from 353 respondents, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. Results show that SMMAs have a significant impact on the intentions of users. Furthermore, social identification mediates the relationship between social media activities and satisfaction, and satisfaction mediates the relationship between social media activities and the intentions of users. This will help marketers how to attract customers to develop their intentions. This is the first novel study that used SMMAs to address the user intentions with the role of social identification and satisfaction in the context of Pakistan.

“…Many studies have demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties of this scale in different cultural contexts (Andreassen et al, 2016;Bányai et al, 2017;Lin et al, 2017;Monacis et al, 2017). Psychometric analyses of the BSMAS in Turkish samples were shown to be satisfactory (Arslan et al, 2021;Demirci, 2019;Koçak et al, 2021). The internal consistency of BSMAS was 0.82 in the current sample.…”

There is burgeoning evidence showing the negative impact of fear of COVID-19 on various mental health outcomes. Little is known about the underlying mechanism of the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and sleep problems in times of health crisis. This study aims to examine whether fear of COVID-19 was associated with sleep problems through happiness and problematic social networking sites (SNS) use. Participants included 506 young adults (67.6% females; mean age = 28.23 ? 8.73 years) drawn from the general public in Turkey. Results showed that fear of COVID-19 had a significant predictive effect on happiness (? = -0.15, p < 0.01), problematic SNS use (? = 0.32, p < 0.01), and sleep problems (? =0.36, p < 0.01)0. Most importantly, happiness (effect = 0.02, 95% CI [0.01, 0.04]) and problematic SNS use (effect = 0.07, 95% CI [0.04, 0.11]) mediated the impact of fear of COVID-19 on sleep problems. These findings suggest that happiness and problematic SNS use are important factors that can help explain the association between fear of COVID-19 and sleep problems among young adults. Intervention and prevention programs can be developed to reduce the effect of fear the of COVID-19 pandemic on sleep problems of young adults by considering the roles of happiness and SNS use in the context of health crises or other stressful situations.
