摘要

Background

The aim of this study was to analyze whether trait emotional intelligence statistically predicts mental health outcomes in university students.

Method

Six hundred forty-seven undergraduate students from the Community of Madrid participated. The Trait Meta Mood Scale-24 (TMMS-24) was used to assess emotional intelligence, and the Global Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was used to assess mental health. Student's t-analysis and ANOVA were performed for the comparative study, as well as multiple regression for the predictive analysis of emotional intelligence on mental health.

Results

A multiple regression model was calculated to predict mental health in the total sample [F (4, 642) = 58.94, p ≤ .001] with an R2 = .269. For males [F (3, 175) = 33.01, p ≤ .001] with an R2 = .361. For females [F (4, 463) = 33.84, p ≤ .001, R2 = .213] with an.

Conclusions

The dimensions that make up emotional intelligence (attention, clarity, and emotional repair) predict mental health in university students in the Community of Madrid.
