The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Adolescent Development

Abstract

This review presents accurate research results in complex adolescent literature and further clarifies that emotional intelligence is fundamental in adolescent development and has an essential role in developmental stages. 15 journals are used to review national and international publications from [2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015][2016][2017][2018]. Reviewed from gender differences, teenage boys have low levels of emotional intelligence than teenage girls. Emotions strongly affect the behavior of adolescents in developmental phases. High emotional intelligence has an impact on the process of good social interaction, the establishment of a good self-concept, the decrease of juvenile delinquency, and the enhancement of academic abilities. Adolescents who have low emotional intelligent tend to behave poorly, commit deviations and violations to themselves, such as frustration, conflicting irregularities, and exacerbating mental health. Therefore, emotional intelligence that teenagers possess can develop their social relationships, reduce their stress and frustration, increase their understanding of other people's emotions, and prevent or reduce the behavior of delinquency. The role of this emotional intelligence can be developed in an educational or clinical setting and has implications for parents and teachers.

“…Delving into this negative association, reported a worse emotional intelligence in victims of aggression, as opposed to aggressors, who only show low levels of emotional regulation; these findings are in line with Cañas et al (2019), who found that whilst cybervictims tend to pay more attention to their emotions, non-cybervictims have greater emotional clarity and regulation. To conclude, a high emotional intelligence provides victims the capability to deal with aggressions (Nel, 2019), even reducing the possibilities of suicide (Rey et al, 2019) Additionally, self-concept is positively associated with emotional intelligence (Alviz et al, 2020;Cañas et al, 2020;Furqani, 2020), especially as for the physical and social self-concepts (Guerrero-Baona et al, 2019), and in terms of gendered self-concept -in which emotional attention is mostly predicted by feminine self-concept whilst emotional clarity and repair by both-(Martínez-Marín et al, 2020)-.…”

Diseño, construcción y validación del cuestionario de habilidades emocionales para escolares (CHENE) Prueba piloto

“…Factor 1: reconocimiento de las emociones (10 ítems, α = 0.82); factor 2: autorregulación conductual y cognitiva de las emociones (10 ítems, α = 0.81); factor 3: relaciones interpersonales (10 ítems, α = 0.85); factor 4: sensibilidad interpersonal (10 ítems, α = 0.87). Se utilizó el cuestionario Mesquite como estándar de oro y se observaron correlaciones entre reconocimiento de las emociones e inteligencia emocional moderada (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) (r = 0.753) p < 0.01), autorregulación conductual y cognitiva de las emociones e inteligencia emocional elevada (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) (r = 0.751) (p < 0.01).

“…8 Specific interest in EI during childhood and youth has increased due to the evidence that, at an early age, it influences academic performance, social interaction, academic and social adaptation, and levels of physical and verbal aggression. 9 The different concepts of emotional intelligence derive from other studies such as Multiple Intelligences, it is said that there are eight different intelligences, and that each human being excels in one type of intelligence. These eight intelligences are grouped in two generalities, the interpersonal intelligence that allows working with oneself and understanding oneself better in order to relate to others and the intrapersonal intelligence, which refers to self-understanding, access to one's own emotional life, to a series of feelings, to the ability to discriminate between these emotions, to be able to name them and access them to guide one's own behavior.…”
