Abstract(s)
A inteligência emocional é vista como um tipo de inteligência relacionada com o
processamento cognitivo das emoções e assenta na capacidade de compreender
corretamente as emoções e geri-las de uma maneira adaptativa e adequada. Vários
autores associam a IE a varias características pessoais (felicidade, autoestima, otimismo
e capacidades). Teoricamente há um destaque para os modelos dos traços da
personalidade, identificando a IE como um traço. Deste modo criaram-se instrumentos
fundamentais para mediar a IE quando esta é vista como um traço.
O Modelo dos Cinco Fatores é o mais importante e usado para compreender a
personalidade do ser humano. O modelo apresenta cinco traços de personalidade:
Extroversão, Amabilidade, Conscienciosidade, Neuroticismo e Abertura para
Experiência. Este estudo teve como objetivos principais caracterizar a inteligência
emocional e os traços de personalidade, segundo o Modelo dos Cinco Fatores, nos
estudantes do ensino superior; explorar a relação entre estas variáveis com as variáveis
sociodemográficas e explorar a relação entre a inteligência emocional e os traços de
personalidade segundo o Modelo dos Cinco Fatores. A amostra foi composta por 177
participantes, 83.6% do sexo feminino e 15.8% do sexo masculino, com idades
compreendidas entre os 18 e os 57 anos de idade, a frequentar os cursos de Psicologia,
Ciências da Comunicação, Serviço Social e Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação.
A inteligência emocional foi avaliada através do Neo-Five Factory Inventory e os traços
de personalidade foram avaliados através da Escala de Inteligência Emocional de
Schutte. Nos resultados registaram-se maiores pontuações nas subescalas da Perceção
das emoções e Lidar com as emoções dos outros (M=36.97). Verificaram-se diferenças
estatisticamente significativas positivas entre algumas subescalas e dimensões em
relação ao sexo e ao curso. Em relação ao sexo verificou-se que o sexo feminino obtém
maiores pontuações na maioria das subescalas e os estudantes que frequentam os cursos
de Serviço Social e Psicologia possuem um maior nível de inteligência emocional
comparado com os estudantes dos restantes cursos.
Emotional intelligence is seen as a type of intelligence related to the cognitive processing of emotions and is based on the ability to correctly understand emotions and manage them in an adaptive and appropriate way. Several authors associate EI with various personal characteristics (happiness, self-esteem, optimism and abilities). Theoretically, there is an emphasis on personality trait models, identifying EI as a trait. In this way, fundamental instruments were created to mediate EI when it is seen as a trait. The Five Factors Model is the most important and used to understand human personality. The model features five personality traits: Extroversion, Amiability, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness to Experience. This study had as main objectives to characterize emotional intelligence and personality traits, according to the Five Factors Model, in higher education students; explore the relationship between these variables with sociodemographic variables and explore the relationship between emotional intelligence and personality traits according to the Five Factors Model. The sample consisted of 177 participants, 83.6% female and 15.8% male, aged between 18 and 57 years old, attending Psychology, Communication Sciences, Social Work and Information Technology courses and Communication. Emotional intelligence was assessed using the Neo-Five Factory Inventory and personality traits were assessed using the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale. In the results, there were higher scores in the subscales of Perception of emotions and Dealing with the emotions of others (M=36.97). There were statistically significant positive differences between some subscales and dimensions in relation to gender and course. Regarding gender, it was found that females obtain higher scores in most subscales and students who attend courses in Social Work and Psychology have a higher level of emotional intelligence compared to students in other courses.
