The objective of this study was to examine the mediating effect of emotional intelligence between gender-typed attributes and subjective well-being. The participants were 711 Spaniards (mean age 24). The instruments used were PN-SRI-SP20 for gender-typed attributes, TMMS-24 for emotional intelligence, PANAS for positive and negative affect, and SWLS for satisfaction with life. The findings yielded the direct and indirect effects of the different subscales of emotional intelligence. Emotional clarity and repair were positively associated with subjective well-being, whereas emotional attention was negatively associated with subjective wellbeing. Positive dimensions of gender-typed attributes improved subjective well-being through emotional intelligence and were more important than the negative dimension. Men scored more than women in satisfaction with life, and women did in emotional intelligence (attention and repair). Programmes for increasing subjective well-being should pay attention to the gender typing and consider the relevance of the dimensions of emotional intelligence on subjective well-being. RESUMENEl objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el efecto mediador de la inteligencia emocional entre los atributos de género y el bienestar subjetivo. Los participantes fueron 711 españoles (edad media 24 años). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron: PN-SRI-SP20 para los atributos de género, TMMS-24 para la inteligencia emocional, PANAS para los afectos positivo y negativo, y SWLS para la satisfacción con la vida. Los hallazgos produjeron los efectos directos e indirectos de las diferentes sub-escalas de inteligencia emocional. La claridad y la reparación emocional se asociaron positivamente con el bienestar subjetivo, en tanto la atención emocional se asoció negativamente con el bienestar subjetivo. Las dimensiones positivas de los atributos de género mejoraron el bienestar emocional a través de la inteligencia emocional, y fueron más importantes que la dimensión negativa. Los hombres obtuvieron puntuaciones más altas que las mujeres en ARTICLE HISTORY
