Glycosylated Haemoglobin and Quality of Life: A Moderated-Mediation Model for Emotional Intelligence and Affect

Previous research has shown that higher glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are related to poorer quality of life. The objective was to analyse the moderating role of emotional intelligence (EI) in the relationship between HbA1c levels and quality of life through both positive (PA) and negative affect (NA) in individuals with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). A total of 72 participants with T1D (mean age = 41.10, SD = 10.73) were assessed on HbA1c. Psychological constructs were measured through the following questionnaires: MSCEIT (EI), PANAS (affect), and EsDQOL (quality of life). Higher levels of HbA1c and NA were related to a worse quality of life. In contrast, higher PA was related to a better quality of life. In addition, higher EI was associated with lower NA and worries about diabetes. In individuals with low EI scores, EI had a positive moderating effect on the relationship between HbA1c and NA. The moderated mediation analysis revealed a significant positive indirect effect of HbA1c on quality of life through NA moderated by EI for these individuals with low EI scores. This study shows how higher HbA1c levels have a negative impact on the quality of life of individuals with T1D and low EI levels by increasing their NA.

THE ROLE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN CRISIS LEADERSHIP: EFFECTS ON EMPLOYEE MORALE AND ORGANIZATIONAL RESILIENCE

This research paper examines the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in crisis leadership and its influence on employee morale and organizational resilience. By analyzing theoretical frameworks such as Golemans Emotional Intelligence Model, Transformational Leadership Theory, and Crisis Management Theories, the study establishes the significance of EI as a critical asset for leaders navigating crises. The paper delves into how emotionally intelligent leaders-who demonstrate empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication-enhance employee morale, create a supportive work environment, and build trust during times of uncertainty. Key findings indicate that leaders with high EI can mitigate the negative emotional impacts of crises, thereby preserving morale, fostering a sense of security, and promoting collective resilience. Furthermore, the research reveals that emotionally intelligent leadership not only addresses the immediate emotional needs of employees but also contributes to long-term organizational resilience by fostering a culture of psychological safety and adaptability. Through real-world case studies, the paper contrasts the outcomes of EI-driven leadership with those of low EI leadership, highlighting the far-reaching impact on employee engagement, productivity, and overall organizational stability. The implications suggest that developing emotional intelligence in leaders is essential for maintaining a motivated and resilient workforce capable of navigating complex and unpredictable business environments. Ultimately, the research underscores the strategic importance of integrating emotional intelligence into crisis leadership to ensure sustainable organizational success and employee well-being.

The Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Bullying in Adolescents: A Scoping Review

Bullying is a serious problem among adolescents with broad negative impacts on psychological and social well-being. Factors that influence bullying are individual and environmental. Emotional intelligence has been identified as an essential factor influencing bullying behavior, but its relationship is not fully understood. This research aims to conduct a scoping review of the relationship between emotional intelligence and adolescent bullying behavior. A scoping review approach was used in this research. Search for articles using three databases (Scopus, PubMed, and CINAHL) and the search engine, namely Google Scholar. Keywords used included "emotional intelligence", "bullying", and "adolescents". Data analysis was carried out using a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of this study showed that 7 articles met the inclusion criteria that discussed the relationship between emotional intelligence and bullying in adolescents. The 7 articles show a negative relationship between emotional intelligence and bullying behavior, where individuals with low emotional intelligence tend to be more involved in bullying behavior. Variables influencing this relationship include emotional awareness, management, and understanding other people's emotions. The involvement of emotional intelligence plays a vital role in understanding and overcoming the phenomenon of bullying in adolescents.

EMOCIONALNI PROCESI KOD MALOLETNIH DELINKVENATA: KRIMINOLOŠKE IMPLIKACIJE

Juvenile delinquency represents a serious societal issue, and this paper focuses on the emotional aspects associated with it. Juvenile offences are estimated to constitute 7% of total criminal acts worldwide, with significant social consequences. Delinquents often come from dysfunctional families, abuse psychoactive substances, and experience psychiatric disorders, highlighting the complexity of this problem. The paper’s emphasis is on the emotional processes underlying delinquency, starting with emotional intelligence (EI). Research indicates a connection between low EI and juvenile delinquency, highlighting the role of emotion recognition and emotional regulation in this context. Various forms of delinquency may be linked to different aspects of emotional regulation, particularly impulsivity. The paper also considers psychopathy as a prominent personality characteristic closely related to juvenile delinquency, exploring the emotions that describe psychopathy. Factors such as manipulativeness, low empathy, and impulsivity are often present in juveniles with psychopathic traits. Additionally, in this paper, we are interested in Callous-Unemotional (CU) Taits. CU model is applied to describe the psychopathic tendencies of children and adolescents. The connection between emotions and cognition in the context of juvenile delinquency is illustrated through findings that discuss two dimensions of empathy: affective and cognitive, as well as the role of executive functions in delinquent behaviors. Finally, the importance of research seeking to explain the link between emotions and cognition is emphasized, particularly in the context of understanding personality traits responsible for such behaviors, such as psychopathy.

Social media ostracism and creativity: moderating role of emotional intelligence

The goal of this study is to learn more about social media ostracism, a stressor associated with online social networks, defined by feelings of rejection, exclusion, or ignoring. We investigate the connection between social media ostracism and worker creativity. We suggest that psychological safety and psychological rumination serve as intermediaries in this relationship. Furthermore, we investigate emotional intelligence as a relationship regulator. To verify our hypothesis, we gathered data with the help of the HR department from 244 workers of nine Chinese organizations. Our research shows that psychological rumination and social media exclusion are significantly correlated, but only in workers with low emotional intelligence. Furthermore, for individuals with strong emotional intelligence, we did not discover a statistically negative association between psychological safety and social media exclusion. Findings suggest that psychological safety and psychological rumination serve as mediating factors in the relationship between employee creativity and social media exclusion. This study illuminates the negative aspects of social media ostracism and reveals how it might hinder creativity. It also emphasizes how emotional intelligence functions as a moderator. Organizations may learn a lot from this study on how to lessen the negative impacts of social media exclusion on employee creativity.

Association between emotional intelligence and mental health status based on sex differences among undergraduates in Vietnam

Public health concerns about mental health problems have recently received attention, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a significant factor linked to mental health status, including depression, anxiety, and stress (DAS), with sex playing a significant role in both DAS and EI status. This study aimed to describe DAS and EI status and assess sex differences in the associations between EI and DAS among undergraduate students. A cross-sectional study was conducted across three educational institutions in Dong Thap province, southern Vietnam, using the validated Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) and the 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Spearman correlation analysis was used to identify correlations between DAS and EI, and the sex differences in the associations between DAS and the four SSEIT constructs - emotion perception (EP), utilizing emotion (UE), managing self-relevant emotion (MSE), and managing others' emotion (MOE) - were examined using linear regression models. Among the 674 participants, 51.6% experienced mental health problems (64.1% for females, 35.9% for males), 47.0% experienced anxiety, 32.5% experienced depression, and 27.4% experienced stress. The average EI score was 119.3 ± 18.9 (120.0 ± 19.1 for females, 118.0 ± 18.5 for males), with 58.9% of participants having normal EI, while 29.2% and 11.9% had low and high EI, respectively. Negative correlations were observed between EI scores and depression (R=-0.16, p<0.001) and anxiety (R=-0.09, p=0.020), especially among females. Findings indicated that MSE showed significant associations with DAS, especially in females (all β<-0.318, all p<0.001). Our study highlights the importance of considering sex in mental health prevention programs targeting EI skills to manage students' self-relevant emotions better.

Traumatic stress symptoms in civilians after the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war: The protective role of self-compassion and emotional intelligence.

Exposure to war is linked to negative mental health outcomes. Self-compassion and emotional intelligence may foster post-war adjustment processes differently depending on the time since the event happened. This study examines post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in civilians exposed to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war shortly after and 6 months post-conflict, while investigating self-compassion and emotional intelligence's protective role. War-exposed civilians self-reported on PTSS, self-compassion, and trait emotional intelligence at two phases. Results showed greater PTSS shortly after war relative to 6 months later. Lower self-compassion scores were related to more PTSS at the first phase, whereas lower emotional intelligence was associated with more symptoms 6 months later. These data show how war-exposed Armenians coped, highlighting individual characteristics' effects, and suggest varying resource utilization during post-war adjustment. Specifically, self-compassion may be a protective factor shortly after war, whereas emotional intelligence may protect individuals against having adverse health outcomes later on.

Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Organizational Performance in Commercial Banks, Itahari, Sunsari, Nepal

The ongoing debate surrounding Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Organizational Performance (OP) has been a consistent topic of discussion across various cultures worldwide. This article aims to assess the current status of EI and OP in Nepalese Commercial Banks, analyze the relationship between EI and OP, and measure the impact of EI on OP. Employing a deductive research approach, the study utilizes a descriptive and cross-sectional research design, with the population comprising all employees in commercial banks in Itahari, Sunsari, Nepal. The sample size is 167, chosen through convenience sampling, employing a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale to collect primary data. Mean and Standard Deviations assess the status of EI and OP, while Pearson correlation matrix and linear regression analysis measure the impact of EI on OP. Chronbatch alpha is used to test the reliability of constructs. The results indicate a positive presentation of both EI and OP in commercial banks, with statistically significant relationships within the model. The analysis suggests that employees with high EI exhibit higher OP compared to those with lower emotional intelligence. Notably, social awareness emerges as a key construct significantly influencing OP, followed by relationship management and self-awareness. The findings propose potential benefits for banks in enhancing EI levels during recruitment, training, and development programs for their personnel.

Insight into sleep quality and its relationship with emotional intelligence: results of a cross-sectional study among Italian university students.

This study aimed to investigate sleep habits and examine the relationship between sleep quality and its potential predictors, namely Emotional Intelligence (EI) and perceived health status. The present cross-sectional study was conducted between February 13 and February 28, 2023, at the "Magna Græcia" University of Catanzaro, in the Southern part of Italy. The study involved undergraduate students who were 18 years or older, proficient in the Italian language, and with no restrictions on the major attended. They completed a self-administered survey on socio-demographic information, health status, sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-PSQI), EI, and perceived health status. The majority of the sample (59.6%) was enrolled in medical or life science majors. The results showed a high prevalence of poor sleep quality and sleep latency was identified as the most affected aspect of it. The female gender and the self-perceived health status were the strongest predictors of poor sleep quality. Poor sleepers showed lower emotional clarity, emotional repair, and total EI scores. Moreover, as age increased, the odds of being classified as a poor sleeper increased by 7%. The survey highlights that poor sleep health is still a significant issue and empowering individuals to make proactive decisions to adopt healthy lifestyles in the early phase of life is of paramount importance. The study exhibited the interesting role of EI in influencing sleep quality, highlighting that when emotional events are insufficiently regulated, it may result in sleep disturbances. Therefore, the promotion of sleep quality requires an integrated yet innovative approach including emotion regulation.

Research and Analysis on the Characteristics of College Students' Emotional Face Processing Based on Computer Vision Technology

The processing of emotional faces by individuals is an important basis for the perception and understanding of emotions. In accordance with the score of Schutte self-report Emotional Intelligence Scale (SSEIS), students in high and low emotional intelligence groups were screened out. Based on the computer vision technology, four kinds of emotional face pictures, including pleasure, anger, sadness and fear, were randomly presented with the help of the eye tracker, and four interest areas were divided into eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth. The eye-movement indexes of subjects were recorded, and common characteristics of emotional face processing of college students and differences in gender and emotional intelligence were explored. The results showed that college students had a positive bias to emotional face processing and a certain bias to eye area; the number of fixation points in high emotional intelligence group was more and concentrated, and the processing was more rapid and efficient, while the number of fixation points in low emotional intelligence group was less and scattered, and the processing efficiency was lower; female college students were more detailed in emotional face processing.

The influence of leader-subordinate emotional intelligence congruence on the flow experience: evidence from the liquor manufacturing industry.

Previous research has provided evidence supporting a positive correlation between emotional intelligence (EI) and flow. However, intriguing findings in the liquor manufacturing industry prompt me to consider the necessity of examining the effects of leader-subordinate EI congruence on flow. Therefore, this article begins with two questions: First, what is the impact of leader-subordinate EI congruence on flow? Second, do two distinct congruent scenarios (i.e., high-high and low-low) exhibit significant nuances that differentially influence flow? To answer these questions, this study utilizes polynomial regression and three-dimensional response surface analysis methods. A multi-source and three-phase investigation method was used to collect data from 279 subordinates and 56 leaders in the liquor manufacturing industry. Based on the person-environment (PE) fit theory, this study investigates the influence of leader-subordinate EI congruence on flow while considering leader-member exchange (LMX) as a mediator in these processes. The current study not only demonstrates a positive relationship between leader-subordinate EI congruence and LMX, but also reveals that a high-high EI matching pattern can enhance the favorable dynamics of congruence and yield higher LMX compared to a low-low matching pattern. Furthermore, this study identifies LMX as a mediator in the positive relationship between leader-subordinate EI congruence and flow. Additionally, although the incongruent scenarios are beyond the scope of this study, the findings demonstrate that a high EI subordinate paired with a low EI leader has a more detrimental impact on the LMX than a low EI subordinate paired with a high EI leader. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The impact of emotional intelligence on coping strategies for psychological trauma

The aim is to determine the impact of emotional intelligence on coping strategies for psychological trauma. Methods: The research was conducted using survey and testing based on diagnostic methods: Primary Care PTSD Screen, WCQ, EQ-test. Statistical methods were used: ANOVA, descriptive statistics, regression analysis. Two hundred seventy internally displaced persons (IDPs) aged 23 to 48 participated in the study. The study found that subjects with PTSD signs have low emotional intelligence (M=32.31±14.88) and confrontation (M=12.68±4.08), distancing (M=12.74±4.62), avoidance (M=13.85±4.97) coping strategies. Regression analysis established that a low level of emotional intelligence promotes confrontation (β=-1.926±0.296) and distancing (β=-1.198±0.386) coping, and a high level of emotional intelligence develops a problem-solving strategy (β=1.277±0.298). The results make it possible to expand the range of providing psychological assistance in overcoming psychological trauma through the formation of emotional intelligence. This will ensure the assimilation of constructive coping as elements of conscious overcoming of life's difficulties. Increasing the level of emotional intelligence and adaptive behavior strategies will help reduce feelings of stress due to trauma. The obtained results open opportunities to study the impact of emotional intelligence on individuals who experienced traumatic events. Studying external and internal factors contributes to emotional intelligence development. Identifying individual and socio-cultural aspects of coping strategies enhances psychological support methods. Understanding emotional intelligence's influence helps design programs to develop it and overcome psychological trauma, including telepsychology.

Emotional Intelligence and Success in Initial Vocational Education and Training: A Study Among Healthcare Assistants and Social Care Workers

Context: Research on emotional intelligence (EI) shows this concept's decades-long positive influence on well-being, self-efficacy, employability, and academic and professional achievement. Indeed, several studies have demonstrated that students with high EI have better grades and quality of life, as well as are more employable than students with low EI. By considering the two conceptualizations of EI as either an ability or personality trait, the present study investigates EI's influence on training achievement in initial vocational education and training (IVET). We posited that the two types of EI positively influence training achievement in a complementary way: Ability EI relates to achievement in theoretical training, while trait EI relates to achievement in practical training. Furthermore, these links are mediated by apprentices' engagement at school and in learning. Method: To test our hypotheses, 92 dual IVET health and social care apprentices in their last year of vocational school completed an online survey composed of validated scales measuring EI as an ability, EI as a personality trait, personality traits, and school engagement. The apprentices' grades were also obtained with their permission. Results: The findings confirmed our hypotheses and reflected EI's positive influence on training achievement. We observed that participants with high EI (as an ability and personality trait) obtained better grades than participants with lower EI. Moreover, our results showed that ability EI has a direct influence on achievement in theoretical health and social care training, while the link between trait EI and practical training is indirect and mediated by engagement in learning. Conclusion: The present study confirms EI's positive influence on school achievement in the VET context and further corroborates the important role that EI can play in dual IVET apprentices' achievement, particularly in the health and social sectors. This original study contributes to research on the VET system by placing EI among the skills necessary to ensure professional success.

Parental burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, detachment, and a sense of ineffectiveness, has emerged as a significant concern impacting the well-being of mothers worldwide. This study aims to explore the prevalence, risk factors, and protective factors associated with parental burnout among mothers in the Ibadan metropolis, Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design. A sample of 357 mothers residing in the Ibadan Metropolis were conveniently selected and participated in the study by responding to the nine validated scales and demographic questions which assessed all the variables of interest. The findings reveal a 7% prevalence of parental burnout among mothers in the Ibadan Metropolis. Factors such as personality (neuroticism, conscientiousness and agreeableness), low emotional intelligence, and work status predicted or served as risk factors. On the other hand, resilience, marital satisfaction, and parental self-efficacy were significant protective factors mitigating the risk of burnout among mothers. The study underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions and the importance of raising awareness about burnout, promoting self-care practices, fostering social support networks, and implementing family-friendly policies in workplaces. The findings can guide policymakers, healthcare professionals, and community organizations in developing evidence-based interventions to support and empower mothers, ultimately enhancing their well-being and the overall quality of family life. Keywords: Parental Burnout, Mothers, Risk and Protective factors

The Relationship of Emotional Intelligence and Psychological Reasonableness of Adolescents with the Peculiarities of Child-parent Relations

Introduction. The article is aimed at studying the relationship of emotional intelligence, as well as psychological reasonableness of adolescents with the peculiarities of the mother’s relationship to the child. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that today in Russian scientific works the topic of psychological intelligence is not sufficiently covered. The study of its connections with emotional intelligence will allow us to understand the relationship between these characteristics for a deeper understanding of the emotional sphere of adolescents, and the study of its connections with the mother’s parenting style will allow us to better understand the process of its formation.Objective. investigate the interrelationships of emotional intelligence and psychological reasonableness of adolescents with the peculiarities of maternal attitude towards them.Materials and methods. Adolescents aged 13 to 15 years (n = 43) were studied as an empirical object. To study emotional intelligence, the methodology “Emotional intelligence of adolescents” by Sadokov and Voronkin was chosen, and the “Scale of Psychological reasonableness, SPR/PMS” was used to study psychological reasonableness in the adaptation of Novikova and Kornilova. The “Teenagers about parents” technique was using the peculiarities of the mother’s relationship to the teenager were established.Results. The emotional intelligence of adolescents tends to be low, while maintaining the average values of psychological reasonableness. Statistically significant negative associations were found between hostility, inconsistency, and criticality of the mother towards the teenager with factors of emotional intelligence and psychological reasonableness. A positive relationship was also revealed between the closeness of the mother with the teenager and his psychological intelligence.Discussion. The results obtained are confirmed in the concepts of other authors. Thus, the preservation of an average level of psychological intelligence with low emotional intelligence of adolescents is explained by the abundance of psychological information in the Internet space in which adolescents spend most of their time. Data on the negative relationship of hostility and criticism of the mother with the peculiarities of emotional intelligence and psychological reasonableness are also confirmed: parents who reject, ignore and criticize a teenager can mainly raise teenagers with a low level of emotional intelligence who do not seek to discuss their problems.

Causes and Forms of Cyberbullying among Teenagers in Indonesian Urban Areas: Cases of Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya

The development of digitalization has had an impact on the increasing cases of cyberbullying among Indonesian youth, especially in urban areas such as Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung. This article finds out why teenagers in urban areas are rampant in carrying out cyberbullying behavior. The existing studies were examined to map the causes and forms of cyberbullying experienced by teenagers in the three cities by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Employing Anthony Giddens structuration theory, this article reveals that cyberbullying among urban teenagers is the impact of the relationship between agents and structures that shape social reality. In Jakarta, cyberbullying has emerged as a result of the lack of social support from peers and the low emotional intelligence that teenagers have. In Surabaya, cyberbullying arose as a result of lack of self-control and parental evaluation mediation, low self-esteem, and a strong desire for self-recognition in order to show their power. In Bandung, cyberbullying arose as a result of the anonymity and authoritarian pattern of parental care.

They were divided into 35 old aged people with high emotional intelligence and 35 with low emotional intelligence using emotional intelligence scale. Then quality of life scale given by WHO -QOL Bref was administered to these two groups. T test was used to test the significant difference between the groups. The result shows that there is a significant difference in the quality of life in the two groups. It was proved that old aged people with low emotional intelligence have poor quality of life and old aged people with high emotional intelligence have high quality of life.

Assessing emotional intelligence domains and levels in substance use disorders

BackgroundMany individuals with substance use disorders face challenges in their social interactions and often have strained relationships with peers. Challenges related to problem-solving, stress management, and impulsivity often contribute to their substance use disorders. Emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in assisting individuals with substance use disorders in coping with stress, enhancing peer connections, resolving problems, and preventing relapse. Consequently, our study aimed to assess emotional intelligence in individuals with substance use disorders and explore the factors influencing it. A cross-sectional study compared 50 individuals with substance use disorders and 50 healthy individuals. We assessed various factors, including clinical data, sociodemographic variables, family socioeconomic status, Addiction Severity Index (ASI) scores, and Emotional Intelligence (EI) scale scores.ResultsIndividuals with substance use disorders had significantly lower mean scores in total EI and its subscales compared to the healthy control group. Additionally, a higher percentage of individuals with substance use disorders exhibited low EI levels, while healthy individuals demonstrated better EI. Furthermore, there was a substantial association between higher ASI scores in individuals with substance use disorders and lower EI scores.ConclusionsLower EI scores are associated with an increased risk of substance use disorders. Also, can contribute to difficulties in impulse control, and challenges in managing relationships and stress. These findings underscore EI crucial role in preventing and treating substance use disorders.
