Adolescents with low Intrapersonal Emotional Intelligence (IEI) exhibit fewer positive traits and engage in more bullying. Promoting IEI and cooperative strategies can prevent negative behaviors.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Developmental Psychology
- Social Psychology
Background:
- Intrapersonal Emotional Intelligence (IEI) is crucial for adolescent development.
- Understanding factors influencing IEI is vital for targeted interventions.
- Previous research highlights links between emotional intelligence and well-being.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze sex and age differences in IEI.
- To identify personality traits, social behaviors, and parental styles associated with low IEI.
- To determine predictors of high IEI in adolescents.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 2283 adolescents aged 12-17.
- Data collected on IEI, personality, social behaviors, conflict resolution, and parental socialization.
- Statistical analyses to compare groups and identify predictors.
Main Results:
- Females showed higher emotional attention; younger adolescents (12-14) had better comprehension and regulation.
- Adolescents seeking psychological help for problems exhibited lower emotion regulation.
- Low IEI was linked to lower empathy, self-esteem, extroversion, agreeableness, responsibility, and cooperative strategies, alongside increased bullying and antisocial behaviors.
Conclusions:
- High IEI is predicted by cooperative conflict resolution, traits like extroversion and empathy, and maternal acceptance-affection.
- Findings underscore the importance of promoting IEI and interpersonal emotional intelligence.
- Intervention programs should focus on enhancing emotional skills and positive social behaviors to prevent issues like bullying and cyberbullying.
