The role of emotional intelligence on the experience of behavioural addictions is a growing area of research interest. However, there are operationalisation issues in studying both emotional intelligence and behavioural addictions separately. This review aims to report on the existing literature of studies exploring the relationship between these two concepts, and to identify gaps in research practice in order to inform future studies. A search, covering the date range of 2013-2024, conducted in five databases in August 2024 identified 43 articles, reported according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The findings are discussed under four subheadings: technology-related behavioural addiction, internet gaming disorder, eating disorders, and consumer behaviour and compulsive buying. Overall, the results show that emotional intelligence is negatively correlated with behavioural addictions and plays both a moderating and mediating role in the associations between behavioural addictions and other negative outcomes such as suicidal ideation, rumination, fear of missing out, and depression. In addition to summarising studies and controversial discussions on emotional intelligence and behavioural addictions, this review suggests possible roadmaps to ensure more accurate research outcomes by highlighting the importance of theoretical and methodological distinctions between trait and ability models of emotional intelligence.
情商在行为成瘾体验中的作用是一个日益受到研究关注的领域。然而，分别研究情商和行为成瘾存在操作化问题。本综述旨在报告探索这两个概念之间关系的现有研究文献，并找出研究实践中的差距，以为未来研究提供参考。2024年8月在五个数据库中进行的搜索涵盖了2013年至2024年的日期范围，共识别出43篇文章，并按照PRISMA 2020指南进行报告。研究结果在四个小标题下进行讨论：与技术相关的行为成瘾、网络游戏障碍、饮食失调以及消费者行为和强迫性购买。总体而言，结果表明情商与行为成瘾呈负相关，并且在行为成瘾与其他负面结果（如自杀意念、沉思、错失恐惧症和抑郁）之间的关联中起调节和中介作用。除了总结关于情商和行为成瘾的研究及争议性讨论外，本综述还通过强调情商特质模型和能力模型在理论和方法上的区别的重要性，提出了可能的路线图，以确保获得更准确的研究结果。
