“…Consistent with the study hypotheses, the model found that higher perceived EI levels significantly predicted higher PTG levels in the adolescent sample during COVID-19. This finding aligned with previous longitudinal research that found that EI at the baseline predicted subsequent PTG in adults a few years after a trauma event ( Tuck and Patlamazoglou, 2019 ). The study results also accorded with a cross-sectional study that found that higher perceived EI levels correlated with higher PTG in patients after the confirmation of a severe disease ( Rider Mundey et al, 2019 ).…”

“…In this general model, certain pre-trauma personal characteristics were surmised to promote PTG when a person is confronted with challenging stressors. Emotional intelligence (EI), which is the ability to perceive and understand one's own and others' emotions, manage and direct one's own actions and thoughts ( Davies, 2004 ; Salovey and Mayer, 1990 ), and positively refocus on planning a response to trauma, may predispose a person to PTG after trauma ( Tuck and Patlamazoglou, 2019 ). As the EI examined in the current study was mainly based on a self-assessment survey, the term ‘perceived EI’ is used to distinguish it from the EI measured using performance-based tests.…”

“…Thus, perceived emotional self-efficacy has been shown to have positive outcomes on psychological health, enhancing adaptation to illness [ 48 , 49 ], as well as cognitive processing that drives emotional, intellectual, and personal growth following a struggle process [ 50 , 51 , 52 ]. That is, perception, emotional expressiveness, and emotional coping are positively related to a sense of greater personal strength, as well as life priority changes after trauma [ 50 , 53 , 54 , 55 ].…”

Psycho-oncology research suggests that positive personal changes can occur after experiencing breast cancer. These changes can be understood as post-traumatic growth (PTG) and seem to be determined by emotional self-efficacy perception. This study aims to investigate the existence of different profiles of PTG and perceived emotional intelligence (PEI) among breast cancer survivors (BCSs) and healthy controls. Moreover, it aims to study the mechanisms through which PEI may mediate the relationship between disease survival and PTG. The total sample was 636 women divided into two groups: 56 BCS and 580 healthy controls who completed TMMS-24 and PTGI. The results displayed that BCSs apparently show a different profile of PTG and PEI compared to healthy women. The mediation analyses showed that survivorship explained 1.9% of PTG, increasing to 26.5% by the effect of PEI. An indirect effect showed that cancer survival predicts reduced levels of emotional attention, decreasing PTG. However, the most statistical indirect effect evidenced that BCSs regulate their emotions appropriately, having a powerful effect on PTG and counteracting the negative effects of poor emotional attention. Knowing the implications of PEI on PTG could improve follow-up from the time of diagnosis and supporting the patient to cope with the sequelae of the disease.

“…In support of this approach, a recent narrative review of literature on mental health training programs found no systematic differences in the content or impact on mental health outcomes of programs labeled as resilience training compared to other types of stress management interventions (Forbes & Fikretoglu, 2018). Additionally, comparisons between various stress management constructs, including resilience, emotional intelligence, posttraumatic growth, and well-being have found overlap in their underlying structures, which may account for this similarity in their effects on functioning (Özer & Deniz, 2014; Sagone & De Caroli, 2014; Tuck & Patlamazoglou, 2019). Taken together, these previous findings suggest that investigating the factors of stress management constructs may help to uncover factors that promote resilience.…”

The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate practices that improve psychological resilience in tertiary education students. The current systematic review uses poly-strengths theory (Hamby et al., 2018) to compare stress management research from multiple psychological disciplines to determine the factors that improve mental health outcomes and improve resilience among tertiary education students. The results found that paying attention to the present moment had the largest reported effect size for reducing anxiety symptoms and that engaging in personally meaningful and enjoyable activities led to large reductions in negative affect. Positive relations with others, exercise, humor, and acceptance of difficult circumstances were also effective for relieving negative symptoms. It was also found that 15 of the reviewed studies reported only one mental health outcome measure. The majority of reviewed intervention studies did not include measures of positive functioning, making it difficult to determine which intervention types have the largest effects on promoting positive mental health. It is recommended that future intervention studies contain a larger range of mental health outcome measures to better inform preventative mental health practices. The study concludes that of the reviewed interventions, engaging in enjoyable and personally meaningful activities, focusing attention on the present moment, exercise, positive social interactions, humor, and acceptance in difficult circumstances have the largest effects on improving resilience in tertiary education students.
