Abstract

Goal is to study of the relationship of coping strategies and emotional intelligence with the recreational potential of narrative arts (literature and cinematography). Methods. The Coping Strategies Questionnaire (WCQ) was used to study coping strategies, and the Emotional Intelligence Diagnostic Questionnaire (N. Hall) was used to study emotional intelligence. The following socio-demographic data were considered in the study: respondents’ gender, age and level of education. 56 respondents took part in the study, among which 47 were female and 9 were male. Results. For those who have a low level of development of these skills, narratives can serve as a negative factor that worsens their emotional state, indicate that the most frequent result of interaction with the narrative as a recreational process is the release of internal tension. The study showed that the most frequent result of interaction with the narrative as a recreational process is the release of internal tension (chosen by 48.2% of respondents), followed by calming down (23.2%), increasing the level of energy or strength (14.3%), increasing motivation (12.5%) and anxiety (1.8%). Respondents with a high level of “Managing their emotions” demonstrated a significant improvement in well-being after interacting with the selected narrative. A positive correlation was found between emotional intelligence, namely the “Managing Your Emotions” and “Feeling After Interaction” scales. For those who have a low level of development of these skills, narratives can serve as a negative factor that worsens their emotional state. It can be assumed that people with a high level of this indicator of emotional intelligence consciously or unconsciously understand what types of stories and in what way can affect their emotional state. It is assumed that the genre of the narrative (action, drama, comedy, etc.) and the features of its impact on the human condition are purely individual. Conclusions. It was confirmed that the type of narrative that can affect a person’s condition is a purely individual matter, there is no genre of cinema, literature, comics, series, etc., which can be called universal for overcoming a negative emotional state.
