Abstract(s)
A presente investigação procurou estudar o papel da variável Growth Seeking enquanto
mediadora na relação entre Inteligência Emocional e a Satisfação com a Vida e Bem-Estar. A
Inteligência Emocional é considerada pela literatura como preponderante na construção de
sentimentos associados tanto à Satisfação com a Vida como ao Bem-Estar. A literatura sugere
também que o Growth Seeking poderá ser uma componente importante na relação entre estas
variáveis. De forma a estudar a hipótese de mediação proposta, utilizou-se uma abordagem
quantitativa, de caráter correlacional, constituída por uma amostra de 213 participantes entre os
18 e os 63 anos. Para a análise de dados, recorreu-se a uma Análise do Modelo Estrutural, que
permitiu confirmar a hipótese de mediação proposta, em que há um impacto mediador da
variável Growth Seeking na relação entre Inteligência Emocional e Satisfação com a Vida e
Bem-Estar. Este estudo apresenta então implicações teóricas pertinentes, contribuindo com o
alargamento do conhecimento relativamente ao tema em questão visto ser escassa a sua
literatura, assim como propostas práticas de possíveis novas variáveis a serem investigadas.
This research aimed to study the role of the variable Growth Seeking as a mediator in the relationship between Emotional Intelligence with Life Satisfaction and Well-Being. Emotional Intelligence is considered by the literature as preponderant in the construction of feelings associated with both Satisfaction and Well-being. The literature suggests also that Growth Seeking might be an important component in the relationship between these variables. To study the proposed mediation hypothesis, a quantitative, correlational approach was used, consisting of a sample of 213 participants with ages between 18 and 63 years old. For data analysis, we used a Structural Model Analysis, which confirmed the proposed mediating hypothesis, in which there is a mediator impact of the variable Growth Seeking on the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Life Satisfaction and Well-Being. This study then presents relevant theoretical implications, contributing to the widening of knowledge regarding the subject in question, since its literature is scarce, as well as practical proposals of possible new variables to be investigated.
