“…High EI Low EI That EI was significantly related to PWB supported the findings of previous researchers (Adeyemo & Adeleye, 2008;Bar-On, 2005;Salovey & Mayer, 1990). An explanation for these findings is that adolescents who are emotionally intelligent possess some of the six dimensions of PWB.…”

“…A student who has a high level of EI will have some of the PWB six key dimensions, that is self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth. EI has been related to PWB, life satisfaction, and quality of interpersonal relationships (Adeyemo & Adeleye, 2008;Bar-On, 2005;Salovey & Mayer, 1990). There are few studies in which the moderating role of EI on the relationship between personality factors and PWB has been examined.…”

The purpose in this study was to examine the relationship between the Big Five personality factors and psychological well-being of adolescents and the moderating role of emotional intelligence in that relationship. Adolescents (N = 400) randomly selected from secondary schools in southwestern Nigeria completed the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992), and emotional intelligence (Law, Wong, & Song, 2004), and psychological well-being (Ruff & Keyes, 1995) scales. It was found that personality factors and emotional intelligence had significant correlations with psychological well-being. Emotional intelligence moderated the relationship between neuroticism, extraversion, and psychological well-being. Implications for counseling adolescents and directions for future research are suggested.

“…This finding is in line with the works of Adeyemo and Ogunyemi (2006) and Goleman (1998). According to Adeyemo and Adeleye (2008), adolescence is in and of itself a difficult challenge in the realms of emotions. The adolescent is faced with new relationships and atmospheres where proper social integration is of utmost importance for success.…”

In the last three decades, it has been observed that there has been a substantial increase in the proportion of adolescents who engaged in sexual activity while at school. Using the survey design, this study investigated the perceived effect of emotional intelligence, selfesteem, religiosity and media on risky sexual behaviour of 300 secondary school students from 10 secondary schools within Asaba metropolis. Five instruments were administered to the participants selected for the study. Data were analysed with descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The result indicated that the relationships among risky sexual behaviour and the independent variables were significant; however, the relationships between risky sexual behaviour and emotional intelligence/religiosity were negatively significant. About 43% of the variation of risky sexual behaviour among adolescents was accounted for by the independent variables, the most potent being religiosity. It was, however, recommended that incorporating emotional intelligence and self-esteem training into the school curriculum of students' religious activities should be encouraged as well to enhance moral development of adolescents.

“…Self-efficacy determines an individual's resiliency to adversity and his/her vulnerability to stress (Bandura, Caprara, Barbaranelli, Gerbino & Pastorelli, 2003). General self-efficacy aims at a broad and stable sense of personal competence to deal effectively with a variety of stressful situations (Adeyemo, 2008;Schwarzer & Fuchs, 2009). Perhaps for an individual who has low spiritual intelligence, having high self-efficacy will help him/her in displaying appropriate health behaviors.…”

University students experience a substantial amount of change where they progress from the highly controlled setting of school to the self-motivated environment of the university. Many changes which involve social, financial, and environment elements, can be a burden to the students putting them at risk in negative health behaviours. Negative health behaviours among university students are a course of concern since they have a tendency to be carried into adulthood which can possibly cause the emergence of chronic disease at a younger age. Spiritual intelligence together with self-efficacy is seen to promote better health behaviour. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and self-efficacy on health behaviours among university students in Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia. A correlational study was conducted on 400 undergraduate university students who lived on campus and were chosen through stratified random sampling technique using closed ended questionnnaires (The Spiritual Self-Report Inventory, General Self Efficacy Scale and a modified version of Health Style Questionnaire). Pearson correlation and structural equation modelling were used to explore association between these aspects. Spiritual intelligence, self-efficacy and health behaviour were significantly correlated. Self-efficacy showed a partial mediation effect towards the relationship between spiritual intelligence and promoting health behaviour (p=0.0001). Thus, there was an association between spiritual intelligence with health behaviour, and self-efficacy with health behaviour. It is interpreted that spiritual intelligence can boost positive health behaviour and it is associated with self-efficacy relevantly gives benefit to health behaviour. Such data have important implications for both health practice and policy especially for higher education institutions.
