The purpose of this study is to analyze the combined effects of trait emotional intelligence (EI) and feelings on healthy adolescents' stress. Identifying the extent to which adolescent stress varies with trait emotional differences and the feelings of adolescents is of considerable interest in the development of intervention programs for fostering youth well-being. To attain this goal, self-reported questionnaires (perceived stress, trait EI, and positive/negative feelings) and biological measures of stress (hair cortisol concentrations, HCC) were collected from 170 adolescents (12-14 years old). Two different methodologies were conducted, which included hierarchical regression models and a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The results support trait EI as a protective factor against stress in healthy adolescents and suggest that feelings reinforce this relation. However, the debate continues regarding the possibility of optimal levels of trait EI for effective and adaptive emotional management, particularly in the emotional attention and clarity dimensions and for female adolescents.
本研究的目的是分析特质情绪智力（EI）和情感对健康青少年压力的综合影响。确定青少年压力随特质情绪差异和青少年情感变化的程度，对于制定促进青少年福祉的干预计划具有重要意义。为实现这一目标，我们从170名青少年（12至14岁）中收集了自我报告问卷（感知压力、特质EI和积极/消极情感）以及压力的生物学指标（头发皮质醇浓度，HCC）。我们采用了两种不同的方法，包括层次回归模型和模糊集定性比较分析（fsQCA）。结果支持特质EI作为健康青少年压力的保护因素，并表明情感强化了这种关系。然而，关于特质EI达到有效和适应性情绪管理的最佳水平的可能性，特别是在情感关注和清晰度维度以及女性青少年方面，争论仍在继续。
