Abstract

While findings have documented the association between emotional intelligence, life satisfaction, and suicidal ideation among adolescents, few studies have investigated the moderating effect of family climate on the association. This study examined the moderating effect of family cohesion, expressiveness, and conflict on the relationships between emotional intelligence, life satisfaction, and suicidal ideation among Spanish adolescents. A total of 2,722 adolescents aged 12 to 18 (M_age = 14.11, SD = 1.42, 52.8% girls) formed the sample. The interaction effects were significant, with family conflict mitigating the effects of emotional intelligence on life satisfaction, and family cohesion and expressiveness strengthening the effects of emotional intelligence on suicidal ideation. These findings provide additional evidence for the protective role of family cohesion and expressiveness in adolescent suicidal ideation, and the harmful role of family conflict in adolescent wellbeing. The results imply that enhancing family cohesion and expressiveness and reducing family conflict may be a promising way to boost the link between emotional intelligence and life satisfaction and to prevent suicidal ideation among adolescents.

社会家庭氛围如何在预防青少年自杀意念和提高生活满意度方面促进情商？

虽然已有研究结果证明青少年的情绪智力、生活满意度和自杀倾向之间存在关联，但很少有研究调查家庭氛围对这种关联的调节作用。本研究探讨了家庭凝聚力、表现力和冲突对西班牙青少年情商、生活满意度和自杀倾向之间关系的调节作用。共有 2,722 名 12 至 18 岁的青少年（平均年龄 = 14.11，平均标准偏差 = 1.42，52.8% 为女生）构成了研究样本。研究发现，家庭冲突减轻了情商对生活满意度的影响，而家庭凝聚力和表现力则加强了情商对自杀意念的影响。这些发现进一步证明了家庭凝聚力和表现力对青少年自杀倾向的保护作用，以及家庭冲突对青少年幸福感的有害作用。研究结果表明，增强家庭凝聚力和表现力，减少家庭冲突，可能是促进情商与生活满意度之间的联系，预防青少年自杀倾向的有效途径。

期刊介绍： The aim of this journal is to publish conceptual, methodological and empirical papers dealing with quality-of-life studies in the applied areas of the natural and social sciences. As the official journal of the ISQOLS, it is designed to attract papers that have direct implications for, or impact on practical applications of research on the quality-of-life. We welcome papers crafted from interdisciplinary, inter-professional and international perspectives. This research should guide decision making in a variety of professions, industries, nonprofit, and government sectors, including healthcare, travel and tourism, marketing, corporate management, community planning, social work, public administration, and human resource management. The goal is to help decision makers apply performance measures and outcome assessment techniques based on concepts such as well-being, human satisfaction, human development, happiness, wellness and quality-of-life.
