Abstract(s)
O grupo etário Jovens Adultos consiste num período de consolidação e experimentação de alterações no desenvolvimento humano, no qual diversos estudos apontam para a importância da Inteligência Emocional na promoção da Saúde e Bem-Estar. A Ansiedade,
Depressão e Stress são os problemas mais frequentes de Saúde Mental, sobretudo nas faixas etárias mais jovens. Com este estudo procurou-se contribuir para colmatar a lacuna existente na
literatura científica em relacionar este conjunto de constructos com a Inteligência Emocional, sobretudo na realidade portuguesa, de forma a potenciar a Inteligência Emocional para benefício da Saúde Mental e Bem-Estar na vida de Jovens Adultos. O principal objetivo foi
procurar perceber a relação entre a Inteligência Emocional e a Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress nos Jovens Adultos, bem como o seu impacto nas Relações Emocionais Significativas, na Prática de Atividade Física e na Adaptabilidade Académica e na Carreira.
Foi utilizado o método quantitativo de inquérito por questionário, com aplicação online. O questionário foi composto pela versão portuguesa de dois instrumentos de medida − o Questionário de Competência Emocional-45 (QCE-45) e a Escala de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress-21 (EADS-21) – e por questões de caraterização sociodemográfica. A amostra foi constituída por 409 participantes, maioritariamente do sexo feminino, trabalhadoras ou estudantes, com habilitações literárias ao nível do ensino superior, e predominantemente de áreas profissionais diferenciadas. Os resultados revelaram correlação negativa entre Inteligência Emocional e Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress em Jovens Adultos; e correlação positiva entre Inteligência Emocional / Prática de Atividade Física e Adaptabilidade na Carreira.
ABSTRACT: To be a Young Adult is synonymous of living a period in which occurs the consolidation and experimenting of important transformations. Many studies suggest that Emotional Intelligence is especially important in the health and well-being of Young Adults. Anxiety, Depression and Stress are the most common problems in Mental Health, especially in younger people. The reason for this study was to try to contribute to scientifical literature concerning the relationship between these concepts and Emotional Intelligence, which are not very developed, especially not concerning the Portuguese reality. The pertinence of this work was to advocate for the need to invest in potentializing Emotional Intelligence to benefit Young Adults’ Mental Health and Well-Being. The main objective of this study was to better understand the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Anxiety, Depression and Stress in Young Adults. Also, to comprehend their impact in Emotionally Important Relationships, Physical Exercise and Academic Education and Career Adaptability. We used the quantitative method, applying online a questionnaire with the Portuguese version of two instruments – “Emotional Competence and Skills Questionnaire” (ECSQ) and “Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales” (DASS) – and we included sociodemographic questions. The sample of this study was 409 participants, mainly women, working or studying, with higher education, and especially from more specialized professions. The results leaded to a negative correlation between Emotional Intelligence and Anxiety, Depression and Stress in Young Adults, as well as a positive correlation between Emotional Intelligence / Physical Activity and Adaptability in the Career area.
