Families of gifted students may have poorer well-being due to difficulties in parenting. Emotional intelligence could help parents manage negative emotions and improve their self-esteem, and perceived social support and stress could mediate this relationship. The objective of this study was to analyze these variables by testing a mediation model in parents of gifted children and parents in general.
Questionnaires assessing emotional intelligence, stress, perceived social support, affect and self-esteem were administered to 245 parents (135 had gifted children). Descriptive analyses were performed, mean differences were calculated, and structural equation models (SEMs) were developed and tested.
Compared with parents in general, the parents of the gifted students reported more negative experiences (Cohen's d = 0.75; p < .01) and less social support from their friends (Cohen's d = 1.54; p < .01). Social support and stress partially mediated the relationship between emotional intelligence and well-being. For parents of gifted students, there was partial mediation of social support through positive affect.
Providing families with tools to promote their emotional intelligence and conducting awareness campaigns focused on understanding and supporting gifted groups will contribute to parents' well-being.
由于育儿困难，资优学生的家庭可能幸福感较差。情商可以帮助父母管理负面情绪，提高自尊心，而感知到的社会支持和压力可以调节这种关系。本研究的目的是通过测试资优儿童和一般父母的中介模型来分析这些变量。
对 245 名家长（其中 135 名有资优儿童）进行了情商、压力、感知社会支持、情感和自尊评估的问卷调查。进行了描述性分析，计算了平均值差异，并开发和测试了结构方程模型（SEM）。
与一般父母相比，资优学生的父母报告了更多的负面经历（Cohen's d = 0.75；p <.01）和来自朋友的较少社会支持（Cohen's d = 1.54；p <.01）。社会支持和压力部分调节了情商与幸福感之间的关系。对于资优学生的父母，社会支持通过积极情感部分中介。
为家庭提供促进情商的工具，并开展关注理解和支持资优群体的宣传活动，将有助于父母的幸福感。
