The present paper examined the role of perceived emotional intelligence-EI- (measured by adaptations of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale - TMMS, Salovey, Mayer, Goldman, Turvey, & Palfai, 1995) as a predictor of life satisfaction and mental health. We explored the unique contribution of EI dimensions (Attention, Clarity and Repair) on individuals' psychological well-being, after controlling for the influence of general self-efficacy and socio-demographic variables (age, gender and culture). Data was collected from a sample of 1078 Spanish, Mexican, Portuguese and Brazilian undergraduate students (M(age) = 22.98; SD = 6.73) and analyzed using hierarchical multiple regressions. Results indicated that overall EI dimensions (especially Clarity and Repair) accounted for unique variance on psychological well-being above and beyond general self-efficacy and socio-demographic characteristics. These findings provide additional support for the validity of perceived EI, and suggests that EI components contribute to important well-being criteria independently from well-known constructs such as self-efficacy.
本文探讨了感知情绪智力（EI）（通过特质元情绪量表-TMMS 的改编来衡量，Salovey、Mayer、Goldman、Turvey 和 Palfai，1995）作为生活满意度和心理健康的预测指标的作用。我们在控制一般自我效能感和社会人口统计学变量（年龄、性别和文化）的影响后，探讨了 EI 维度（注意力、清晰度和修复）对个体心理幸福感的独特贡献。数据来自 1078 名西班牙、墨西哥、葡萄牙和巴西本科学生的样本（M（年龄）=22.98；SD=6.73），并使用分层多元回归进行分析。结果表明，总体 EI 维度（尤其是清晰度和修复）在心理幸福感方面，除了一般自我效能感和社会人口统计学特征之外，还能解释独特的差异。这些发现为感知 EI 的有效性提供了额外的支持，并表明 EI 成分独立于自我效能等知名结构，对重要的幸福感标准有贡献。
