Summary
Perceived Emotional Intelligence positively impacts nursing students' self-concept, particularly clarity and emotional repair. Personality traits like extraversion and accountability also correlate with a stronger self-concept.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Nursing Education
Background:
- Self-concept and emotional intelligence are vital for healthcare professionals.
- The role of emotions in nursing professional development is understudied.
- Understanding the self in nursing is crucial for psychological care and professional growth.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between Perceived Emotional Intelligence (PEI) and nursing students' self-concept.
- To examine the influence of personality dimensions on this relationship.
Main Methods:
- 135 nursing undergraduates completed validated questionnaires.
- Scales measured Perceived Emotional Intelligence, self-concept, and personality traits.
- Statistical analysis identified correlations between variables.
Main Results:
- PEI components (Clarity, Emotional Repair) positively correlated with all self-concept scales.
- Personality traits (Extraversion, Accountability) showed positive associations with self-concept.
- Neuroticism negatively correlated with self-concept components.
Conclusions:
- Emotional intelligence significantly contributes to nursing students' self-concept.
- Specific personality traits influence self-concept, highlighting the interplay of cognitive and emotional factors.
- Findings underscore the importance of fostering emotional intelligence and positive personality traits in nursing education.

Self-Esteem
Self-esteem, a core aspect of psychological well-being, reflects an individual's positive and negative self-evaluation in terms of worth, competence, and overall value. It is both a stable trait and a dynamic process, influenced by experiences and social interactions across the lifespan. While global self-esteem offers a general assessment, research highlights that self-esteem is multidimensional and varies across specific life domains.Domain-Specific Self-EsteemResearchers have delineated...
Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
Self-Concept
Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. This concept influences how individuals perceive their abilities, interact with others, and manage challenges throughout life.

During infancy, self-concept is virtually nonexistent. Babies do not distinguish themselves as separate entities and often mistake their...

Multiple Intelligences Theory
Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligence proposes that there are nine distinct types of intelligence, each reflecting different ways of interacting with the world. Introduced in 1983 and expanded in subsequent years, Gardner's framework challenges the traditional notion of a single, generalized intelligence.
Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation
Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often blend...
Self-Efficacy
Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capacity to organize and execute actions necessary to manage prospective situations. This belief significantly influences how individuals approach goals, tasks, and challenges across different domains of life.Psychological and Educational ImpactsIndividuals with strong self-efficacy are more resilient in the face of difficulties. They are more likely to adopt effective problem-solving strategies, persist through obstacles, and regulate emotions such as...
