The onset age of anxiety is decreasing worldwide, yet the majority of the study conducted on anxiety were focused on adult populations. This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of psychological capital and coping style tendency on the relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety in Chinese adolescents and provide empirical evidence for research and prevention. A cross-sectional study recruited 5747 participants from 5 randomly selected middle schools in the northeast China. Study results showed that high emotional intelligence ( < 0.05), high level of psychological capital ( < 0.05), and positive coping style tendency ( < 0.05) were correlated to lower level of anxiety symptoms in adolescents. Psychological capital and coping style tendency performed partial and serial mediating effect on the relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety. Teaching adolescents how to regulate emotions can strengthens their positive mentalities, promotes the use of positive coping strategies, and then attenuates the severity of anxiety symptoms in a nonadditive manner.
全球范围内焦虑症的发病年龄正在降低,但大多数关于焦虑症的研究都集中在成年人群体。本研究旨在探讨心理资本和应对方式倾向在中国青少年中对情商与焦虑之间关系的中介作用,并为研究和预防提供实证依据。一项横断面研究从中国东北随机选取的5所中学招募了5747名参与者。研究结果表明,高情商(<0.05)、高水平心理资本(<0.05)和积极应对方式倾向(<0.05)与青少年较低水平的焦虑症状相关。心理资本和应对方式倾向在情商与焦虑的关系中发挥了部分和连续中介作用。教导青少年如何调节情绪可以增强他们的积极心态,促进积极应对策略的使用,进而以非累加的方式减轻焦虑症状的严重程度。
