Background: The link between subjective well‐being (SWB), gender and emotional intelligence (EI) has been studied; however, it is not clear what kind of relationship has been established between these variables. The objective of this study was to examine the direct and indirect effects of EI in the relationship between gender‐typed attributes and SWB. Method: The participants were 365 Spanish schoolchildren with a mean age of 13.9. The instruments used were the Spanish version of GRI‐JUG (GRI‐JUG‐SP15) for gender‐typed attributes, TMMS‐24 for EI, PANASN for positive and negative affects, and SWLS for satisfaction with life. A mediational analysis was carried out using EI (attention, repair and clarity) as mediator in order to find out the effects on well‐being. Results: The findings yielded that EI significantly mediated the relationship between gender‐typed attributes and SWB. Particularly, clarity and repair are positively associated with SWB, whereas attention is negatively associated with SWB. Also, clarity and repair can be considered more important than attention in promoting SWB, according to the models of mediation and their effect size. Moreover, clarity and repair were mediators in feminine and masculine attributes while attention only was mediator for positive feminine attributes. Conclusion: For adolescents who claim to have positive feminine attributes, an aspect that would improve SWB is through the increase of clarity and repair and the decrease in attention. Further research is needed to examine the extent to which the pattern of results generalises in other contexts, and to explore the relevance of negative emotions in the development of affective‐related issues.

青少年的主观幸福感和性别类型的属性：情商的相关性

背景：研究了主观幸福感（SWB），性别和情绪智力（EI）之间的联系；但是，尚不清楚这些变量之间建立了什么样的关系。这项研究的目的是检验EI在性别类型属性和SWB之间的直接和间接影响。方法：参与者为365名西班牙小学生，平均年龄为13.9。所使用的工具是西班牙语的GRI-JUG（GRI-JUG-SP15）版本，用于区分性别类型的属性，TMMS-24用于EI，PANASN用于正面和负面影响，SWLS用于对生活的满意度。为了找出对幸福感的影响，以EI（注意力，修复和清晰）为媒介进行了中介分析。结果：研究结果表明，EI显着介导了性别类型属性与SWB之间的关系。特别是，清晰度和修复与SWB正相关，而注意力与SWB负相关。另外，根据中介模型及其效果的大小，在促进SWB方面，清晰度和修复可能比关注更重要。此外，清晰度和修复是女性和男性属性的中介，而注意力仅是阳性女性属性的中介。结论：对于声称拥有积极女性特征的青少年，可以通过提高清晰度和修复能力以及减少注意力来改善SWB。需要做进一步的研究来检验结果模式在其他情况下的普遍程度，
