“…20,22 This association could be explained by their congenerous risk factors, such as negative life events. [68][69][70] Controlled for other confounding factors, our results revealed that participants with frequent PLEs were more than twice as likely to have suicidal ideation (OR=2.05). The strong relationship between PLEs and suicidal ideation was consistent with previous studies.…”

Background: Current psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) are prevalent among adolescents. However, epidemiological data on the prevalence rate of current PLEs among college students and its clinical correlates are scarce and limited. To address this study gap, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence and correlates of current PLEs among Chinese college students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed with a sample of 18,578 college students in China. Each participant completed a survey on social-demographic characteristics variables, PLEs, sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the influential factors for PLEs among all participants and suicidal ideation among those with PLEs. Results: Among Chinese college students, 40.3% of the participants reported having at least one PLE in the past month, while 7.5% had frequent PLEs. Males, age, residence location in town, left-behind experiences, poor family economic status, chronic physical illness, family history of mental disorder, BMI ≥ 28 [obesity], sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation were independent correlates for frequent PLEs. Furthermore, the prevalence of suicidal ideation among participants with frequent PLEs was 32.1%. Lower grades, sleep disturbance, depression, and anxiety were independent predictors of suicidal ideation among college students who experience PLEs frequently. Conclusion: Current PLEs are widespread among Chinese college students. Suicidal ideation is largely prevalent among individuals who suffer frequent PLEs, suggesting that special measures and attention should be provided to these students based on relevant factors to prevent their suicidal ideation and behavior.

“…[27,28] Nevertheless, many studies have argued that self-esteem is inextricably linked with anxiety. [29] The question that is raised and caused this study is if there is any correlation between trait anxiety and personal inner traits such as self-esteem and TEI that could be taken into consideration from the developmental stage and prevent anxiety, as an inner shield. EI abilities are the way people who are considered good, express, perceive, understand, and regulate their emotions, and that reflects their social functioning.…”

This study investigated the predictive relationship among Trait Emotional Intelligence (TEI), self-esteem, and trait anxiety within a sample of Greek native individuals (N=136), employing multiple regression analysis. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue), The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAIT-5), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered for data collection. Results revealed a robust positive correlation between TEI and self-esteem (r= 0.61, p<0.001), with both variables emerging as significant predictors of trait anxiety. Decreases in TEI and self-esteem corresponded to increases in trait anxiety, with the model explaining 33.5% of the variance in trait anxiety. Additionally, the study affirmed TEI's predictive role in trait anxiety and its mediating effect on the association with self-esteem. Moreover, it corroborated the documented negative relationship between TEI and trait anxiety (r= -0.554, p<0.001), the positive correlation between TEI and self-esteem, and the negative association between self-esteem and trait anxiety (r= -0.47, p<0.001). Despite acknowledged limitations, the findings offer valuable practical and theoretical insights into psychology. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of TEI in promoting well-being by mitigating trait anxiety, while highlighting self-esteem as a potential risk factor associated with elevated trait anxiety levels. These findings underscore the intricate interplay of psychological attributes and anxiety levels, advocating for the cultivation of emotional intelligence as a preventive measure against anxiety disorders.
