Abstract

The scientific literature has shown interest in identifying psychological strengths that predict mental health and job search behaviors in the unemployed population. Emotional intelligence (EI) and resilience are key psychological resources, although there is a lack of understanding of underlying mechanisms involved during unemployment. In this study we aimed to examine whether resilient coping serves as a mediator between EI and depressive symptoms, happiness, and job search behaviors in unemployed. To prove whether resilient coping mediates this link, we recruited 401 unemployed through LinkedIn and asked them to complete self-report questionnaires. Correlational results showed significant relationships in the expected way. The results of the mediation analyses showed that resilient coping mediated the link between EI and job search behaviors, happiness, and depressive symptoms. The findings suggest that career counseling units should incorporate EI and resilience modules into their employability programs to promote the mental health and employability of the unemployed.
失业期间情绪智力、心理健康与求职行为:弹性应对的中介作用
科学文献对确定预测失业人口心理健康和求职行为的心理优势表现出了兴趣。情绪智力(EI)和弹性是关键的心理资源,尽管缺乏对失业过程中涉及的潜在机制的理解。在本研究中,我们旨在探讨弹性应对是否在失业人员的抑郁症状、幸福感和求职行为之间起到中介作用。为了证明弹性应对是否介导了这种联系,我们通过LinkedIn招募了401名失业者,并让他们完成自我报告问卷。相关结果显示出预期的显著关系。中介分析结果表明,弹性应对在EI与求职行为、幸福感和抑郁症状之间起中介作用。研究结果提示,职业咨询单位应将情商和韧性模块纳入其就业能力项目,以促进失业人员的心理健康和就业能力。
