The psychological well-being of athlete-students during higher education is important in their healthy growth and adaptation to college and social life, and emotional intelligence is one of the key factors linked with psychological well-being. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being among Turkish athlete-students in higher education studying physical education and sports. A total of 226 athlete-students studying physical education and sports participated in this study. The results of our mediation analysis revealed that emotional intelligence was positively related to psychological well-being. Additionally, the results indicated that self-efficacy and burnout act as partial mediators between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being. As a result, academic administrators and instructors should promote strategies that help athlete-students to gain better emotional intelligence skills, which may also help these students to cope with burnout and increase their self-efficacy, thus increasing their psychological well-being.
高等教育阶段运动员学生的心理健康对其健康成长以及适应大学生活和社会生活至关重要，而情商是与心理健康相关的关键因素之一。本研究旨在调查土耳其高等教育阶段学习体育专业的运动员学生的情商与心理健康之间的关系。共有226名学习体育专业的运动员学生参与了本研究。我们的中介分析结果显示，情商与心理健康呈正相关。此外，结果表明自我效能感和倦怠在情商与心理健康之间起部分中介作用。因此，学术管理人员和教师应推行有助于运动员学生获得更好情商技能的策略，这也可能有助于这些学生应对倦怠并提高自我效能感，从而提升他们的心理健康水平。
