Internalizing problems (depression, anxiety, social anxiety, somatic complaints, post-traumatic symptoms, and obsession-compulsion) are very important in adolescents' development. These problems can be related with people who lack social skills and poorly handle their emotions. This study assessed 1358 secondary education students (12-17 years) to analyze the relationship linking internalizing problems, emotional intelligence, and social skills. The results showed not only how these constructs were related, but how students' internalizing problems varied according to their emotional intelligence and social skills. They also indicated that two in every three males, and just over one in every two females, obtained high scores for internalizing problems. The model showed a good fit: χ(85) = 201.161 p < 0.001; χ/gl = 2.367; CFI = 0.919; NFI = 0.869; TLI = 0.900; RMSEA = 0.075, IC 95% (0.062-0.089). Finally, gender influenced the way that internalizing problems, emotional intelligence, and social skills were related, and an inverse relation appeared to link internalizing problems, emotional intelligence (r = - .77), and social skills (r = - .52) for females, while this relationship was poorer for males. By way of conclusion, we state that internalizing problems are related with emotional intelligence and social skills in secondary education students, but this relationship differs according to gender.
内化问题（抑郁、焦虑、社交焦虑、躯体不适、创伤后症状和强迫观念）在青少年发展中非常重要。这些问题可能与缺乏社交技能且难以处理自身情绪的人有关。本研究评估了1358名中学生（12 - 17岁），以分析内化问题、情商和社交技能之间的关系。结果不仅显示了这些构念之间的关联，还表明学生的内化问题如何因情商和社交技能而异。结果还表明，每三名男性中有两名，每两名女性中略多于一名在内化问题上得分较高。该模型拟合良好：χ(85) = 201.161，p < 0.001；χ/gl = 2.367；CFI = 0.919；NFI = 0.869；TLI = 0.900；RMSEA = 0.075，95%置信区间(0.062 - 0.089)。最后，性别影响内化问题、情商和社交技能之间的关联方式，对于女性而言，内化问题、情商（r = -0.77）和社交技能（r = -0.52）之间似乎存在负相关关系，而男性的这种关系则较弱。总之，我们指出内化问题与中学生的情商和社交技能有关，但这种关系因性别而异。
