Gratitude has proved to be an enhancer of subjective well-being in previous studies. However, studies that linked the relation between emotional intelligence and its facets when interacting with gratitude, are still limited. In this sense, this study examined the mediating roles of emotional intelligence between gratitude and subjective well-being indicators, by introducing the general factor of emotional intelligence. The first approach to data analysis was to examine the descriptive statistics; the second approach consisted of an Exploratory Structural Equation Modelling, applying also a bifactor analysis. Data was collected from 406 Spanish students, through an online survey that includes the gratitude, trait meta mood scale, satisfaction with life and subjective happiness scale. The mean age of participants was 20.27 years ( = 4.68), whereas 79.5% were females. The results provided preliminary evidence of the mediation role of the general factor of emotional intelligence between gratitude and subjective well-being, which provided a meaningful insight about the role of trait emotional intelligence. These findings suggested that gratitude promotes emotional intelligence, allowing to an increase in subjective well-being. Nonetheless, there is a need for further research to achieve a better understanding of the role of the emotional intelligence facets between gratitude and subjective well-being.
在以往的研究中，感恩已被证明是主观幸福感的增强因素。然而，将情商及其各个方面与感恩互动时的关系联系起来的研究仍然有限。从这个意义上说，本研究通过引入情商的一般因素，考察了情商在感恩与主观幸福感指标之间的中介作用。数据分析的第一种方法是检查描述性统计；第二种方法包括探索性结构方程建模，同时也应用双因素分析。通过一项在线调查收集了406名西班牙学生的数据，该调查包括感恩量表、特质元情绪量表、生活满意度和主观幸福感量表。参与者的平均年龄为20.27岁（标准差=4.68），其中79.5%为女性。结果为情商一般因素在感恩与主观幸福感之间的中介作用提供了初步证据，这为特质情商的作用提供了有意义的见解。这些发现表明，感恩促进了情商，从而提高了主观幸福感。尽管如此，仍需要进一步研究，以更好地理解情商各个方面在感恩与主观幸福感之间的作用。
