“…Individuals with a higher TEI show greater self-efficacy in coping with stress, making it probable that their QoL is more favorable compared with people with lower TEI scores who show a lower self-efficacy (34Y36). A study on patients with urologic cancer concludes that patients with a lower TEI score are more at risk of psychological impairment and that TEI is a major predictor of psychological adaptation for which patients can be helped professionally, both psychologically and socially (40). These results are in line with a meta-analysis on the relationship between TEI and health performed by Martins et al, which has shown that TEI could be a predictor of health (41).…”

“…They can help patients find a way to improve management of their emotions. Social support and psychological support seem to be helpful to improve the emotional impairment in patients with, for example, cancer (40). A future goal of the current research group is to start a cognitive behavior therapy program focused on the psychosocial consequences of the medical condition and evaluate its effects.…”

The substantial impact of a vestibular schwannoma-diagnosis on a psychological measure (i.e., Emotional Intelligence) in the affected patients as demonstrated in our study has important clinical and research implications when developing guidelines about counselling of these patients. This also has to be taken into account when making clinical decisions about the proposed treatment. Addressing Emotional Intelligence may be helpful in the development of a self-management program for patients with vestibular schwannoma.

“…Multiple studies have demonstrated that this construct is involved in many important life domains, including medicine (e.g., Costa et al 2014b;Smith et al 2012), stress (e.g., Laborde et al 2011), mental health (Martins et al 2010;Petrides et al 2011), neuropsychology (Mikolajczak and Luminet 2007), leadership and entrepreneurialism (Ahmetoglu et al 2011;Zampetakis et al 2009). A growing number of studies have revealed mediating, moderating, and incremental trait EI effects over various relevant variables including general health, socio-emotional outcomes, and life satisfaction (e.g., Johnson et al 2009;Mavroveli et al 2009;Petrides et al 2007a, b;Saklofske et al 2003).…”

Trait Emotional Intelligence as Mediator Between Psychological Control and Behaviour Problems

et al. 2014

The main aim of this study was to examine the relationship between psychological control and trait Emotional Intelligence (trait EI), while also testing the mediating role of trait EI in the relationship between psychological control and behaviour problems. A total of 260 adolescents, between 13 and 17 years old, participated in the study. Participants completed the Psychological Control Scale-Youth Self-Report to evaluate their perception of parental psychological control, the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire to measure adolescent's selfevaluation of trait EI, and the Child Behavior CheckList to investigate adolescents' self-evaluation of their behavioural and emotional problems. Results showed that adolescents' perception of parental psychological control negatively predicted trait EI, and that trait EI negatively predicted internalising and externalising problems. Furthermore, structural equation modelling showed that trait EI was a full mediator in the relationship between perceptions of parental psychological control and internalising problems and a partial mediator between paternal psychological control and externalising problems. These results suggest independent additive effects. Identifying a mediating variable not only between psychological control and internalising problems, but also between psychological control and externalising, seems to be worthwhile for new research, as it emphasises the emotional mechanism behind the relationship between psychological and behavioural problems. Our findings represent a timely contribution to the literature in light of recent descriptions of how parental psychological control can affect internalising and externalising problems.

“…The present study focuses on trait EI, defined as a constellation of selfperceptions located at the lower levels of personality hierarchies. High trait EI predicted less state anxiety and worry in cancer patients (Smith, Turner, et al, 2012). High trait EI predicted less state anxiety and worry in cancer patients (Smith, Turner, et al, 2012).…”

Objectives. Low emotional intelligence (EI) may predispose individuals to applying maladaptive coping strategies. This may maintain anxious worrying, which is highly prevalent in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and may affect mental (MCS) and physical component summaries (PCS) of health-related quality of life (HRQoL).Design. The current study is a cross-sectional and cross-cultural survey.Methods. N = 200 outpatients with CHF were recruited at cardiology institutes in Germany and Pakistan and assessed with self-report questionnaires.Results. Path analysis (v 2 (4) = 7.59, p = .11, GFI = .99) revealed that the expected associations between low EI and lower SF-36 MCS and PCS of HRQoL were fully mediated by negative metacognition and maladaptive coping in the Pakistani sample (p's ≤ .05). The German sample applied different maladaptive coping strategies, which also led to lower MCS and PCS scores, but did not mediate a direct positive effect of EI on HRQoL.Conclusion. The current findings support culture-independent validity of the metacognitive model but also reveal major cultural differences regarding the application and effect of specific maladaptive coping strategies. This has important implications for caregivers in a cross-cultural context and highlights the need for culture-specific tailoring of psychosocial interventions.
