dc.description.abstractThis study aims to present and discuss the relationship between the ability to effectively manage emotions and the cognitive-behavioral skills to develop social interactions of quality in career education situations. Participants were 1121 adolescents, 551 girls (49.2%) and 570 boys (50.8%), aged 11 to 19 years old (µ=14.77±1.69), attending the 8th (n=539, 48.1%), 10th (n=320, 28.5%), and 11th (n=262, 23.4%) grades, at elementary and secondary schools, in the northern, central and southern Portugal. Participants fulfilled two self-report questionnaires: (i) the Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, which consists of five subscales related to a set of non-cognitive skills and competences that influence one’s performance against the demands and pressures of the environment, and (ii) the Perceived Social Competence in Career Scale, which consists of six subscales concerned to hypothetical social situations related to career education, and two other subscales concerned to poor and excellent performance in those social situations. Results indicated that Portuguese adolescents demonstrate, in general, adequate levels of emotional intelligence and social competence at all academic years. It was also found that emotional intelligence subscales but the intra- and interpersonal, have a predictive effect on the social situations related to career education. This study contributes to the current scientific knowledge about the importance of the socio-emotional dimensions of the career learning of students, which can influence their adaptation and achievement at school and their overall healthiness. This study also provides important implications to organize interventions in these competencies, in a multilevel approach, using career education as a useful application context.pt_PT
