This study investigated the mediating role of perceived stress in the relationship between perceived emotional intelligence and depressive symptoms in adolescence. A total of 661 high school Spanish students participated in the study. The analyses indicated that the effects of each of the perceived emotional intelligence sub-scales (namely, Attention, Clarity and Repair) on depressive symptomatology were partially mediated by perceived stress. Specifically, the mediating effect was negative for Clarity and Repair, but positive for attention. The analysis also showed that the direct effects were positive for all sub-scales. These results suggest that the promotion of stress management skills may be core in the development of prevention and treatment programs for depression in adolescents, and possibly more beneficial than the promotion of emotion regulation skills. Our findings, along with previous evidence, suggest that emotional attention, as measured in the present study, may be targeting a pathological type of attention.
本研究调查了感知压力在青少年感知情绪智力与抑郁症状关系中的中介作用。共有661名西班牙高中生参与了这项研究。分析表明，感知情绪智力的各个子量表（即注意力、清晰度和修复能力）对抑郁症状的影响部分由感知压力介导。具体而言，清晰度和修复能力的中介作用为负，但注意力的中介作用为正。分析还表明，所有子量表的直接效应均为正。这些结果表明，促进压力管理技能可能是青少年抑郁症预防和治疗项目发展的核心，可能比促进情绪调节技能更有益。我们的研究结果与先前的证据表明，本研究中测量的情绪注意力可能针对的是一种病理性注意力类型。
