“…En el primer caso hemos podido comprobar cómo la IEP ejerce su efecto sobre diferentes dimensiones de la calidad de vida subjetiva de los mayores a través de los estilos cognitivos optimista y pesimista. Concretamente el estilo optimista media entre los niveles de IEP y salud; mientras que el pesimismo media entre la IEP y una realización reducida de actividades en el tiempo libre (Luque-Reca et al, 2018). En la misma línea, tratando de analizar el impacto que la IE tiene en los niveles de bienestar de nuestros mayores institucionalizados y considerando los efectos beneficiosos de la práctica de actividad física, hemos comprobado que habilidades emocionales como la percepción de emociones ajenas y el uso de emociones se asocian de forma positiva con la práctica de actividad física en este grupo, aun cuando se controla la influencia de rasgos de personalidad (Pulido-Martos et al, 2014).…”

En este artículo ofrecemos un resumen de los estudios que nuestro grupo de investigación TEAM+ ha llevado a cabo a lo largo de 16 años. Durante todos estos años hemos analizado, desde una perspectiva psicosocial, los efectos y beneficios de la IE en diferentes ámbitos y colectivos. Consideramos que lo psicosocial es central en el análisis de la IE puesto que las personas se encuentran la mayor parte de su tiempo en un contexto y en relación con otras personas. Por ello, nos interesa conocer cómo la IE contribuye al logro de resultados positivos (i. e. bienestar, satisfacción o rendimiento) y promueve entornos más saludables con menos riesgos psicosociales (i. e. estrés, burnout o depresión).Nuestros trabajos confirman que la IE actúa como un recurso personal que amortigua los efectos negativos del estrés y del burnout en colectivos con especial incidencia, como el de enfermería y profesorado. Asimismo, la IE mejora diferentes indicadores del bienestar subjetivo de estos profesionales y de trabajadores de otros contextos laborales. Es decir, por un lado, la IE se muestra como un factor facilitador de resultados saludables: satisfacción laboral, satisfacción vital, bienestar psicológico, mejores relaciones sociales y/o de pareja, mejor rendimiento; y por otro, como un factor protector de diferentes riesgos: estrés, burnout, dolor en la enfermedad, relaciones de pareja violentas... Estos efectos no solo ocurren a nivel individual, sino que también afectan a los procesos grupales, como el ejercicio del liderazgo en diferentes contextos. Por todo ello, es necesario incrementar los niveles de IE de la población en distintos contextos con programas adaptados a la realidad específica que les permita hacer frente a las demandas y retos del entorno social y laboral.

“…This trend of decreasing PCR use among women as a function of age is reflected in previous studies that have analyzed the impact of external stressors on relationship quality and satisfaction, such as the case of COVID-19 quarantine and its impact on couple relationships ( Işık and Kaya, 2022 ). Characteristics of emotional aging have been extensively described ( Carstensen et al, 2003 ; Kunzmann et al, 2014 ; Fairfield et al, 2015 ; Kunzmann and Wrosch, 2018 ), along with EI’s relationship with important psychological and behavioral domains in older adults, including well-being ( Chen et al, 2016 ; Delhom et al, 2017 ; Buedo-Guirado et al, 2021 ), addictions ( García del Castillo et al, 2013 ), resilience ( Meléndez et al, 2019 ), and quality of life ( Luque-Reca et al, 2018 ). However, the effect of EF as a function of age has received less attention in the literature.…”

IntroductionOne of the most damaging aspects, both for people’s well-being and for close relationships, is conflict. Beyond different stressors, the emotions evoked, their regulation and an appropriate conflict resolution strategy will reduce negative consequences. Emotional Intelligence facilitates social relationships, but little applied research has been done on the relationship with couple conflict and emotional flooding, particularly from the perspective of women. Therefore, the present study analyzes the role of Perceived Emotional Intelligence (PEI) and the mediating effect of Positive Conflict Resolution strategies (PCR) in couples’ conflicts from women’s perspective, examining its effect on Emotional Flooding (EF) and Satisfaction.MethodsThrough a cross-sectional design, the relationships between variables were analyzed using group comparisons and means of a structural equation model (SEM) in a sample of 692 women.ResultsSignificant differences were found between the groups by age, length of relationship, and motherhood. The SEM revealed a good fit. PEI predicted 71.8% of the variance in EF and 35% in Satisfaction through PCR and Conflict.

Regarding functional ability, autonomy, promotion of social relationships and health, little scientific evidence has been found of physical practice in active women over 60 years of age. Hence, the goal of this study was to assess the functional abilities and autonomy, social relationships and subjective health of physically active older women according to the level of activity practiced. The IPAQ and CUBRECAVI scales were applied to a sample of 257 women between 61 and 93 years old (M = 69.44, SD = 4.61). Statistically significant outcomes were obtained in functional ability and autonomy according to their level of physical activity (p = 0.001): greater satisfaction and frequency of social relationships with a mild level of physical activity (p = 0.011), and statistically significant differences in the degree of satisfaction with their health according to the level of physical activity they practice (p < 0.001). The results showed that those with high physical activity obtained better levels of functional abilities and autonomy. Additionally, dissatisfaction with one’s own health is associated with low levels of physical activity. In conclusion, it could be said that the practice of mild physical exercise in older women encourages greater autonomy and functional ability for activities of daily living, which results in independence in everyday life in addition to fostering social links as well as gaining a better satisfaction with their own health, with the socio-emotional benefits that this can bring.
