Modern society is becoming increasingly interested in people who are emotionally competent and who have the psychosocial skills required to be successful within the current social environment. However, no studies have been published on the assessment of the role of Emotional Intelligence (EI) on mental health if we assume the possible mediation of resilience and personality factors in the case of pre-service teachers. Therefore, the aim of the study was to analyse the mediating role of resilience and personality factors in the relationship between EI and mental health of 1,022 pre-service teachers enrolled in different educational degrees. The results found support the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between emotional intelligence and mental health; nevertheless, this was not the case when personality traits were analysed. Furthermore, it has been found that EI and resilience positively affect mental health of university students. Practical implications of this study are oriented towards an advance within the emerging trend of deepening the EI and resilience constructs among mental health care providers. Only if we understand the complex interactions between the constructs which determine people will it be possible to develop educational and health programmes responding to current needs.
现代社会越来越关注那些在当前社会环境中具有情感能力和社会心理技能的人，这些技能是他们取得成功所必需的。然而，如果我们假设在职前教师的情况下，韧性和个性因素可能具有中介作用，那么还没有关于情商（EI）对心理健康的评估的研究。因此，本研究的目的是分析韧性和个性因素在 1022 名不同教育程度的职前教师的 EI 与心理健康之间的关系中的中介作用。研究结果支持了韧性在情绪智力和心理健康之间关系中的中介作用；然而，当分析个性特征时，情况并非如此。此外，还发现 EI 和韧性会积极影响大学生的心理健康。本研究的实际意义在于朝着深化心理健康护理人员的 EI 和韧性结构的新兴趋势迈进。只有了解决定人们的结构之间的复杂相互作用，才有可能制定出符合当前需求的教育和健康计划。
