Emotional Intelligence and Self-Efficacy: Effects on Psychological Well-Being in College Students

“…These results are in line with the findings of other studies that suggest that in individualistic cultures the experience and expression of negative emotions is more intense (Fernández et al, 2000). However, some studies contradict those results, showing that in collectivistic culture, feelings of life satisfaction are lower (e.g., Yetim, 2003).
