尽管情绪智力(EI)引起了广泛的大众兴趣,并且众多相关培训项目也得到了发展,但一些研究人员认为,几乎没有证据表明情绪智力既有用又不同于其他已确立的概念。我们假设情绪智力将对理解压力与三个重要的心理健康变量(抑郁、绝望和自杀意念)之间的关系有独特贡献。302名大学生参与了一项横断面研究,该研究涉及测量生活压力、客观及自我报告的情绪智力以及心理健康。回归分析显示:(1)与其他人相比,情绪感知(EP)能力高的人在报告中显示出更大的抑郁、绝望和自杀意念与压力相关;(2)管理他人情绪(MOE)能力低的人自杀意念更强。情绪感知和管理他人情绪这两项均在统计学上显示出与其他相关指标不同,这表明情绪智力是一个独特的概念,并且在理解压力与心理健康之间的联系方面具有重要意义。2001年爱思唯尔科学有限公司版权所有。
Despite a great deal of popular interest and the development of numerous training programs in emotional intelligence (EI), some researchers have argued that there is little evidence that El is both useful and different from other, well established constructs. We hypothesized that El would make a unique contribution to understanding the relationship between stress and three important mental health variables, depression, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation. University students (n = 302) participated in a cross-sectional study that involved measuring life stress, objective and self-reported emotional intelligence, and mental health. Regression analyses revealed that stress was associated with: (1) greater reported depression, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation among people high in emotional perception (EP) compared to others; and (2) greater suicidal ideation among those low in :managing others' emotions (MOE). Both EP and MOE were shown to be statistically different from other relevant measures, suggesting that El is a distinctive construct as well as being important in understanding the link between stress and mental health.
