Can Peer Victimization Invalidate the Positive Effect of Emotional Intelligence on Adolescents' Health-Related Quality of Life?
Key Points
Investigate how peer victimization affects the relationship between emotional intelligence and health-related quality of life in adolescents.
Analyzed the association between emotional intelligence and health-related quality of life.
Assessed levels of peer victimization among participants.
Measured perceived social support among adolescents.
High levels of peer victimization diminish the positive effects of emotional intelligence on health-related quality of life.
Perceived social support plays a mediating role in this relationship.
Abstract
The positive association between EI and the HRQoL dimension related to perceived social support could disappear in adolescents exposed to moderate or high levels of peer victimization.
