Abstract

The main aim of the current study was to provide evidence regarding the relationship between the emotions communication ability - in terms of Emotional Intelligence (EI) - and the psychological well-being. Additionally, the study explored the moderation effect of sex on this relationship. Participants filled in the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), Psychological General Well-being Index (PGWBI), and Depression Questionnaire (DQ). Results showed the moderator role of sex in the relationship between EI and psychological well-being. Furthermore, the associations between EI and psychological well-being measures were generally higher for men than for women, supporting the idea that sex needs to be taken into account when considering EI measures. The potential helpfulness of EI and emotions communications ability in promoting mental health is discussed.
