El autoestima y su relación con la inteligencia emocional en adolescentes

Abstract

The present research identified the relationship between the level of self-esteem and the dimensions of emotional intelligence in adolescents, variables that were measured by means of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the TMSS-24 scale respectively, in a sample of 92 adolescents, aged 11 to 18 years. The results showed that most of the adolescents presented a low level of self-esteem, followed by a high level of self-esteem and the smallest number of the sample obtained a medium level of self-esteem, with no statistically significant differences with respect to gender. Most of the sample in the dimension of emotional attention presented as predominant the level of paying little attention, in the dimension of emotional clarity the level of should improve its understanding predominated and in the dimension of emotional repair the level of adequate regulation obtained the highest percentage. To verify the research hypothesis, the self-esteem variable was correlated with the three dimensions of emotional intelligence through the use of the corresponding correlation tests depending on the assumption of normality of each variable. Once the analysis was carried out, it was concluded that self-esteem is related to only two dimensions of emotional intelligence, so the alternative hypothesis is partially approved
