Capacidad predictiva de la inteligencia emocional sobre el apoyo social percibido de adolescentes

Through this study we seek to analyze the predictive capacity of emotional intelligence measured, both from a model of skills (attention, clarity and emotional repair) and a mixed model (intrapersonal, interpersonal, stress management and adaptability), on each of the sources of perceived social support (family, friends and significant people), according to sex and age. The sample consisted of 1030 secondary school students aged between 11 and 19 years living in the Dominican Republic. The results indicate that emotional intelligence predicts the perception of social support in the samples of both sexes, even though in the female sample the explanatory effect is greater than in the males. It is also observed that the predictive capacity is greater in middle adolescence. These data reinforce the need to develop emotional intelligence. © 2020 Fundación Universitaria Konrad Lorenz.
