Abstract

This research examined the relationships among emotional intelligence, positive and negative affect, and suicide ideation between Spanish adolescents in a 4-month follow-up study. Adolescents (N = 1,174) from Southern Spain completed an emotional intelligence scale and, 4 months later, 818 of them completed scales measuring affect and suicide ideation. Mediation analyses revealed that both positive and negative affect were significant partial mediators of the prospective relationship between emotional intelligence and suicide ideation. Overall, our findings support the role of emotional intelligence in suicidal thoughts, suggesting that emotional intelligence may reduce suicide ideation in part through its effects on affectivity.

摘要

这项研究在为期 4 个月的后续研究中检查了西班牙青少年之间的情商、积极和消极影响以及自杀意念之间的关系。来自西班牙南部的青少年（N  = 1,174）完成了情商量表，4 个月后，其中 818 人完成了测量情感和自杀意念的量表。中介分析表明，积极和消极情绪都是情商和自杀意念之间预期关系的重要部分中介。总的来说，我们的研究结果支持情商在自杀念头中的作用，表明情商可能通过影响情感来部分减少自杀念头。
