Predictors of Psychological Well-Being Among Pre-Service Teachers: Emotional Intelligence and Occupational Anxiety.

To assess the duration of employment and examine the impact of emotional intelligence on the psychological well-being of men who have sex with men (MSM), trans women (TW), and female sex workers (FSW) working in HIV community-based organisations (CBOs) in Pakistan. Explanatory sequential mixed-methods study. Place and Duration of the Study: CBOs in 16 districts and 50 sites across Pakistan, from November 2023 to April 2024. Individuals over 18 years of age, self-identifying as MSM, TW, or FSW, and working at a CBO were enrolled. Psychological well-being was measured using the Ryff's psychological well-being scale, and emotional intelligence was measured using the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence scale (WLEIS). The multiple linear regression was used to identify predictors of psychological well-being. Ten in-depth qualitative interviews were also conducted among CBO workers. A total of 188 CBO workers were included in the quantitative survey; of these, 128 (68.1%) were MSM, 18 (9.6%) were FSW, and 42 (22.3%) were TW. The multiple regression analysis showed that residence away from family (β = 2.85; p = 0.038), history of suicidal ideation (β = -3.74; p = 0.022), and emotional intelligence (β = 3.25; p <0.001) were significant predictors of psychological well-being. The qualitative analysis showed a positive effect of CBO employment, contributing to professional growth and empowerment and acceptance of gender and sexuality. Living away from family and having higher emotional intelligence were positive predictors of psychological well-being. A history of suicidal ideation was associated with poor psychological well-being. There is qualitative evidence that suggests that CBO employment improves psychological well-being.

To examine relationships among psychological well-being, emotional intelligence, maternal attachment, and motherhood role among postpartum mothers. Participants were 390 mothers with infants aged 4 to 12 months. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS), Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF), Maternal Attachment Inventory, and Being a Mother Scale. Mothers with perceived low income, lack of social security, poor relationships with their spouses, dissatisfaction with childbirth, and lack of post-partum support were found to be less satisfied with their motherhood experiences (p < 0.05). A negative correlation was found between being a mother and psychological well-being, TEIQue-SF total score, and subdimensions (p < 0.005). According to regression analysis, those with poor relationships with their spouses (β = 0.104, p = 0.026), low PWBS scores (β = -0.199, p < 0.001), and low TEIQue-SF scores (β = -0.267, p < 0.001) are significant factors affecting maternal role satisfaction by 21.1%. No significant relationship was found between maternal attachment and psychological well-being, emotional intelligence, and other variables (p > 0.005). Findings emphasize the importance of psychosocial support, spousal involvement, and emotional competence in improving the postpartum maternal experience.

The objective of the present study was to examine the relationship of Trait Emotional Intelligence (TEI) with psychological wellbeing in people who are drug dependent. After a detailed literature review the following hypotheses were formulated; 1) TEI will be positively correlated with autonomy. 2) TEI will be positively correlated with environmental mastery. 3) TEI will be positively correlated with personal growth. 4) TEI will be positively correlated with positive relations with others. 5) TEI will be positively correlated with a purpose in life. 6) TEI will be positively correlated with self acceptance. The sample of the present study consisted of 99 drug addicts. The age group of the entire sample was 18- 59 years (Mean age = 28.76, years, SD = 8.35). The sample was recruited from different drug rehabilitation centers in Karachi, Pakistan. Personal Information Form was used to record personal information of the participants. TEI Questionnaire-Short Form and Psychological Wellbeing Scale were administered to measure the Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Psychological Wellbeing, respectively. Pearson’s product moment coefficient of correlation ‘r’ was applied to determine the relationship of TEI with variables of Psychological Wellbeing. Overall analysis indicates a significant positive correlation with the variable of Psychological Wellbeing i.e., autonomy (r = .225, p DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4038/ijptsud.v1i1.5909 International Journal of Prevention and Treatment of Substance Use Disorder Vol.1(1) 2013: 28-37

Scientific research has examined relationships between various emotional factors in teachers; however, few studies have analyzed these relationships jointly. This study aimed to explore mechanisms through which emotional intelligence, resilience, stress, and burnout influence the psychological well-being of 338 trainee teachers (comprising 72.8% women) from the University of Alicante. Structural equation modeling was used to assess the direct and indirect effects among the variables included in the model. The instruments employed were the Trait Meta-Mood Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Ryff's Psychological Well-being Scale. The results indicated that resilience had a direct and positive effect on psychological well-being, while burnout had a direct but negative effect. In addition, emotional intelligence and stress influenced psychological well-being indirectly: emotional intelligence exerted a positive impact through resilience, whereas stress had a negative impact through burnout. The model explained a high percentage (85.3%) of variance in psychological well-being. This study provides empirical evidence on how these variables interact and highlights the importance of incorporating these abilities into teacher training programs to enhance teachers' psychological well-being and thereby improve the quality of the educational process.

Caring for individuals living with cannabis-induced psychotic disorder poses unique challenges that significantly impact caregivers’ psychological well-being. This study delved into this complex caregiving landscape, exploring how psychological distress, the burden of care, and emotional intelligence collectively influence caregivers’ psychological well-being. The study was conducted at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Lagos Nigeria. The research adopted purposive sampling, involving one hundred (100) participants encompassing both family and non-family caregivers. Participants completed four key instruments: The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) – 12, Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue), and Psychological Well-being Scale (PWB). Descriptive statistics provided mean and standard deviation values for psychological distress, burden of care, emotional intelligence, and psychological well-being, with the reliability of each scale assessed. Hypothesis testing included t-tests, simple linear regression, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression, yielding significant findings. Notably, family caregivers did not bear a significantly higher burden of care compared to their non-family counterparts (t = -.108, p&lt;.05). Furthermore, female caregivers exhibited superior psychological well-being in contrast to male caregivers (t = -4.594, p&lt;.05). Emotional intelligence significantly impacted psychological well-being (R square =.262), and a positive relationship existed between psychological distress and well-being (r = .596, p&lt;.05). Lastly, psychological distress, emotional intelligence, and the burden of care collectively shaped psychological well-being (R square =.526). This research unravels the intricate dynamics faced by caregivers of individuals with cannabis-induced psychotic disorder, highlighting the pivotal roles of emotional intelligence and psychological distress. These insights deepen understanding of caregivers’ experiences and provide a foundation for tailored interventions to bolster their overall well-being. Keywords: Caregivers, Psychological Distress, Burden of Care, Emotional Intelligence, Psychological Well-being, Cannabis-Induced Psychotic Disorder

The present study explored the relationships between Dark Triad (DT), emotional intelligence (EI) and psychological well-being (PWB) among Indian industrial employees. Using a purposive sample of 217 participants belonging to ages 21-60, bivariate correlations, multiple regression and mediation analyses were examined. Participants completed Short Dark Triad, Ryff's Scale of Psychological Well-Being and Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale. Results showed significant weak correlations between DT and PWB. Narcissism was positively associated with PWB, which indicates that self-enhancing motives may contribute to better well-being in the workplace. Psychopathy was negatively associated with PWB. This suggests that emotional detachment and deficits in empathy, typically characteristic of psychopathy, may undermine well-being. Machiavellianism was negatively related to PWB, but it did not predict PWB. Its relationship to PWB was not mediated by EI which suggests that it has limited explanatory value. EI partially mediated PWB's relationships with narcissism and psychopathy. Narcissism was linked to higher EI, which in turn led to higher PWB. In contrast, psychopathy was linked to lower EI, leading to a decline in PWB. Overall, the regression model explained 14% of the variance in PWB which suggests that factors such as job stress or coping mechanisms may also play a crucial role. The results underscore that culturally informed EI interventions tailored to personality profiles are needed to improve employee well-being.

Psychological well-being (PWB) is an indicator of the optimal functioning of individuals and can act as psychological capital. Studying PWB among school teachers can help identify factors that can prevent burnout, cope with stress, and effectively manage their classroom. This study analyses the relationship between PWB, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence of school teachers and examines the predictive capability of mindfulness and emotional intelligence for PWBs. This study uses a correlational research design. Participants (N=125) consist of female teachers recruited from English medium private schools in Bangalore, India, through a convenience sampling method. Data were collected using a survey consisting of a demographic information sheet, Scales of Psychological Well-Being (Ryff, 1989), Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (Baer et al., 2006), and Assessing Emotions Scale (Schutte et al., 2009). Results reveal that PWB has a strong association with mindfulness and a moderate association with emotional intelligence. The association between mindfulness and emotional intelligence is moderate. Data shows that mindfulness and emotional intelligence contributed to higher variance in PWB than only mindfulness. Thus, mindfulness and emotional intelligence may impact the PWB of school teachers and should be considered for school mental health programmes.

The present research work is grounded in the question: "Is there a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being in older adults?" In response to this, the hypothesis posits the existence of a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being in older adults. Consequently, the general objective of this study was to determine if there is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being in older adults residing in a nursing home. This was accomplished through a Quantitative Correlational research design, using a sample of 85 older adults, encompassing both men and women, aged 60 years and older, residing in a nursing home. The assessment tools employed included Emily Sterret's Self-Assessment Test of Emotional Intelligence, which was adapted for use in Peru by Lorena Valdez in 2018, and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale, originally created in the United States in 1995 and subsequently adapted for use in Peru by Madelinne Pérez-Basilio in 2017. The results revealed that in the realm of emotional intelligence, the predominant level was "optimal," accounting for 51%, followed by "outstanding," at 49%. Concerning psychological well-being, there was a predominance of the "high" level, comprising 61%, with 39% falling into the "medium" category. In conclusion, there was a strong correlation coefficient between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being, with r = 0.831** and significance at p &lt; 0.01. This implies that higher emotional intelligence corresponds to greater psychological well-being among older adults residing in a nursing home.

Aging is a process during which important changes occur in different areas of development and emotional intelligence plays an essential role. The objective of this study was twofold: first, to validate the TMMS-24 in an older population; and second, to examine the mediating role of life satisfaction in the relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being. The sample consisted of 215 older adults (60.15% women) with a mean age of 69.56 (SD = 6.42), without cognitive impairment. Data on emotional intelligence, satisfaction with life, and psychological well-being were obtained through the TMMS-24, the SWLS, and Ryff's psychological well-being scales, respectively. Confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation modeling were conducted. Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the three-dimensional structure of the TMMS-24. The total scale showed an internal consistency of 0.90, ranging from 0.84 to 0.85 for the subscales. Structural equation modeling indicated that emotional intelligence exerted an influence on psychological well-being both directly and indirectly through life satisfaction. These findings show that the TMMS-24 has adequate psychometric properties for assessing emotional intelligence in elderly participants, and they indicate that emotional intelligence influences cognitive and affective judgments of life satisfaction, with these judgments of life satisfaction predicting psychological well-being.

Psychological Well-Being and Emotional Intelligence are also positively correlated (r = 0.221, p&lt;0.01). Thus increases in psychological Capital and Emotional Intelligence scores led to increase Psychological well-being score among University students.&nbsp; Multiple regression analysis was also used and it showed that Psychological capital has highest contribution in determination of Psychological well-being regression coefficient was 0.16 and Emotional Intelligence has less contribution in determination of Psychological well-being regression coefficient was 0.02 respectively.

Midwives' self-efficacy can significantly affect the provided care and, therefore, maternal and neonatal outcomes. The aim of the present study was to investigate associations of perceived self-efficacy with emotional intelligence, personality, resilience, and attitudes towards death among midwives in Greece. From 2020 to 2022, a total of 348 midwives were recruited in this descriptive cross-sectional study. The participants were employed as independent professionals, in public hospitals or regional health authorities. Data collection involved five research instruments: the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF), the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), the Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC), and the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) scale. The mean score for the GSES was 29.1 (SD = 4.2), suggesting a moderately elevated level of self-efficacy among midwives. The results revealed that higher scores on the GSES were significantly associated with higher scores on the Extraversion subscale (p < 0.001) and lower scores on the Neuroticism (p < 0.001) and Lie (p = 0.002) subscales of the EPQ. Additionally, high self-efficacy was significantly correlated with high emotional intelligence (p < 0.001), high neutral acceptance of death (p = 0.009), and high resilience (p < 0.001). These findings highlight the relationship between the self-efficacy of Greek midwives and various psychological factors, as well as the multifaceted nature of self-efficacy and its importance for midwives' psychological well-being and professional functioning.

The importance of emotional intelligence (EI) in physicians has attracted attention as researchers begin to focus on the relationship of EI to retention, promotion, and productivity among academic physicians. However, to date, no formal evaluation of EI has been conducted among current department chairs. The objectives of this study were to assess the EI of current chairs of academic radiation oncology departments and to correlate EI with a self-reported assessment of burnout.The authors invited 95 chairs of academic radiation oncology departments to participate in a survey, approved by an institutional review board, consisting of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Short Form (TEIQue-SF) and the abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory (a-MBI). TEIQue-SF scores were evaluated for correlation with respondents' demographics and self-reported burnout scores on the a-MBI. Sixty chairs responded to the survey, for a response rate of 63.2%. The median (interquartile range) TEIQue-SF for the responding cohort was 172 (155-182) out of a maximum possible score of 210. The a-MBI emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscores were low, with median (interquartile range) scores of 4 (2.25-6.75) and 1 (0-2.75) out of maximum possible scores of 18 and 30, respectively. Higher TEIQue-SF global scores were weakly correlated with decreased burnout. The study results show that academic radiation oncology chairs had a high EI and low rates of self-reported burnout. EI may be of increasing importance with respect to recruitment and retention of academic medical leaders.
