In this paper the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and health is examined. The current work investigated the dimensions of EI are sufficient to explain various components of physical and mental health, and various categories of health-related behaviors. A sample of 855 participants completed two measures of EI, the Trait Meta-Mood Scale and trait emotional intelligence questionnaire, a measure of health, the Health Survey SF-36 Questionnaire (SF-36); and a measure of health-related behaviors, the health behavior checklist. The results show that the EI dimensions analyzed are better predictors of mental health than of physical health. The EI dimensions that positively explain the Mental Health Component are Well-Being, Self-Control and Sociability, and negatively, Attention. Well-Being, Self-Control and Sociability positively explain the Physical Health Component. EI dimensions predict a lower percentage of health-related behaviors than they do health components. Emotionality and Repair predict the Preventive Health Behavior category, and only one dimension, Self-Control, predicts the Risk Taking Behavior category. Older people carry out more preventive behaviors for health.
本文探讨了情商（EI）与健康之间的关系。当前研究调查了情商的各个维度是否足以解释身心健康的各个组成部分以及各类与健康相关的行为。855名参与者完成了两项情商测量，即特质元情绪量表和特质情商问卷，一项健康测量，即健康调查简表SF-36问卷（SF-36）；以及一项与健康相关行为的测量，即健康行为清单。结果表明，所分析的情商维度对心理健康的预测能力优于对身体健康的预测能力。对心理健康成分有正向解释作用的情商维度是幸福感、自我控制和社交能力，而注意力则有负向解释作用。幸福感、自我控制和社交能力对身体健康成分有正向解释作用。情商维度对与健康相关行为的预测比例低于对健康成分的预测比例。情绪性和修复能力预测预防性健康行为类别，只有自我控制这一个维度预测冒险行为类别。老年人会采取更多的健康预防行为。
