dc.description.abstractABSTRACT: Through the adaptive use of emotions, emotional intelligence enables emotional information processing and allows the individual to use their emotions more adaptively. Several studies have shown an association between emotional dysregulation, risk behaviors and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). The present study aims to characterize emotional intelligence (i.e., emotional comprehension and emotional management/regulation ability) and explore its relationships with risk behaviors and NSSI in a sample of 559 Portuguese adolescents (224 males and 335 females) with ages between 14 and 20 years old. The Situational Test of Emotional Understanding – Brief (STEU-B), the Situational Test of Emotional Management – Brief (STEMB), and the Impulse, Self-harm and Suicide Ideation Questionnaire for Adolescents (ISSIQ-A) were the measures used. Higher levels of emotional intelligence were found in female participants, in older participants (17–20), participants with higher school education and participants with higher socioeconomic level. The regression model using STEU-B, STEM-B, gender, and the interaction between STEU-B and gender explained 16% of the variance in risk behaviors and 12% of the variance in NSSI, and revealed that emotion management/regulation is a negative correlate of these behaviors. The results in this study emphasize the importance of interventions targeting emotional intelligence aimed at youth when preventing or reducing risk behaviors and NSSI.eng
