Abstract
ABSTRACTAdolescents are the drivers of social change and transformation in any community. Their ability to deal with stressors will determine their well-being and ability to contribute to society. Thus, the present study assessed the relationship between trait emotional intelligence (Trait EI), coping styles, and adolescent stress. In particular, it investigated the role of coping styles as a mediator between Trait EI and adolescent stress. Three hundred fifty-seven adolescents studying in schools in Delhi participated in the study. The study revealed a significant association between Trait EI, coping styles, and adolescent stress. Furthermore, the mediation analysis revealed that the relationship between Trait EI and adolescent stress was partially mediated by emotion-oriented coping style. Task and avoidance-oriented coping did not act as mediators. The current findings have implications for psychologists, school counsellors, and mental health researchers involved in building stress management programs to nurture life skills among adolescents.
