“…There is no significant association between ability EI and venting emotions (Bastian et al, 2005 ) 27 . Subjects with high EI ability display less aggressive behavior (Brackett et al, 2004 ; Rivers et al, 2013 ), less suicidal ideation, fewer suicidal attempts (Karim and Shah, 2014 ) and are less likely to use drugs (Trinidad and Johnson, 2002 ; Brackett and Mayer, 2003 ; Brackett et al, 2004 ; Rossen and Kranzler, 2009 ; Schutte et al, 2011 ; Rivers et al, 2013 ; although see Bastian et al, 2005 28 for null results). The correlation between ability EI and bulimic symptoms and binge eating is non-significant (Gardner et al, 2014 ).…”

Two relatively independent research traditions have developed that address emotion management. The first is the emotion regulation (ER) tradition, which focuses on the processes which permit individuals to influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express these emotions. The second is the emotional intelligence (EI) tradition, which focuses—among other things—on individual differences in ER. To integrate these two traditions, we employed the process model of ER (Gross, 1998b) to review the literature on EI. Two key findings emerged. First, high EI individuals shape their emotions from the earliest possible point in the emotion trajectory and have many strategies at their disposal. Second, high EI individuals regulate their emotions successfully when necessary but they do so flexibly, thereby leaving room for emotions to emerge. We argue that ER and EI traditions stand to benefit substantially from greater integration.

“…Karim and Shah ( 2014 ) and Paradiso et al ( 2016 ) used MSCEIT to evaluate the relationship between EI and suicidal ideation, finding in both investigations a negative correlation between these constructs. In the first article, the results showed that the Strategic component of EI—and not the Experiential—was a significant predictor of suicidal ideation as measured through the General Health Questionnaire in students from Pakistan and France.…”

The Association Between Emotional Intelligence and Suicidal Behavior: A Systematic Review

2018

Background: Some meta-analyses have demonstrated the association between emotional intelligence (EI) and different health indicators. With the increase of suicide cases in the world, more and more professionals have been interested in the link between both variables.Aim: To study all the available evidence on the association between EI and suicidal behavior.Method: We systematically reviewed all available literature (in English or Spanish) on the relationship between both variables through the main databases.Results: Twenty-five articles were included. EI and suicidal behavior correlated inversely in almost all the articles that the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i), The Emotional Intelligence Test (EIT), The Spanish Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), and The Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS/SSEIT), Barchard's Emotional Intelligence Scale, were used, that is, the higher suicidal behavior level the lower the EI score. The same results were found in two out of four investigations that used the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) between clarity (emotional understanding) and emotional repair (emotional regulation) and suicidal behavior. Two out of three studies that used the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) found that only the Strategic component of EI (emotional understanding and regulation) was a protective factor.Conclusions: The results appear to indicate that a high level of EI plays an important role in protecting against suicidal behavior, and should thus be integrated into suicide prevention programs.

“…Accordingly, Cha and Nock hypothesised that these emotional skills might play a vital role in helping to understand and alleviate suicidality, finding preliminary support for the significant role of EI as a protective factor to decrease the likelihood of suicidal ideation and attempts among those adolescents at risk [ 31 ]. Similarly, other researchers found that EI abilities incrementally explained suicidal ideation in a sample of college students, even after controlling for demographic variables, personality traits, affectivity, and cognitive intelligence [ 32 ]. In summary, it is plausible to think that unemployed individuals experience intensive and negative affective states which might contribute to suicide risk.…”

Attenuating the Negative Impact of Unemployment: The Interactive Effects of Perceived Emotional Intelligence and Well-Being on Suicide Risk

A growing body of research has demonstrated that deficits in well-being may be related to increased suicide risk, but there is only a limited number of studies that have focused on specific protective factors that can serve as a buffer against suicidal ideation and behaviours. Given that unemployment may be a factor leading to increased risk for suicide, this study assessed whether perceived EI might be a potential moderator in the relationship between life satisfaction/happiness and suicidal behaviours in a relatively large sample of unemployed individuals. Participants were 1125 unemployed (506 men and 619 women) who completed satisfaction with life and happiness questionnaires, the Suicidal Behaviours Questionnaire and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Test. Consistent with the interaction hypothesis, lower scores in life satisfaction and happiness were associated with higher levels of current suicidal behaviours, and perceived EI scores moderated these relationships. Interventions targeting well-being via the promotion of emotional abilities may be useful in the prevention of suicidal ideation in the unemployed. The implications for these findings for research and practice are discussed.
