**Resumen:**
En este artículo, se examina la relación entre la inteligencia emocional y la resiliencia en el contexto de la psicología positiva. Se realizó un estudio longitudinal con una muestra representativa de adultos jóvenes, evaluando sus niveles de inteligencia emocional y resiliencia a lo largo del tiempo. Los resultados demostraron una fuerte correlación entre ambas variables, sugiriendo que las personas con mayores niveles de inteligencia emocional tienden a ser más resilientes ante situaciones adversas. Estos hallazgos tienen importantes implicaciones para el desarrollo de programas de intervención psicológica orientados a promover la inteligencia emocional y la resiliencia en la población adulta.
**Article:**
In the field of positive psychology, the relationship between emotional intelligence and resilience has been a topic of great interest among researchers and practitioners. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to perceive, understand, and regulate one’s own emotions as well as the emotions of others, while resilience is the capacity to bounce back from adversity and maintain psychological well-being. This study aimed to explore the longitudinal association between emotional intelligence and resilience in a sample of young adults.
A total of 300 participants completed measures of emotional intelligence and resilience at three time points over a two-year period. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between emotional intelligence and resilience, indicating that individuals with higher levels of emotional intelligence tend to exhibit greater resilience in the face of challenges. Furthermore, individuals who showed improvements in emotional intelligence over time also demonstrated increases in resilience.
These findings underscore the importance of considering emotional intelligence as a key factor in the development of resilience. By enhancing individuals’ abilities to understand and regulate their emotions, interventions targeting emotional intelligence may have a positive impact on their ability to cope with stress and adversity. Future research should continue to explore the underlying mechanisms that link emotional intelligence and resilience, as well as investigate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at enhancing both constructs.
**Conclusion:**
The present study highlights the strong relationship between emotional intelligence and resilience in young adults, suggesting that fostering emotional intelligence may contribute to the development of greater resilience over time. Promoting emotional intelligence through targeted interventions could be a valuable strategy for enhancing individuals’ ability to cope with life’s challenges and promote psychological well-being. Future research should continue to investigate the mechanisms underlying this relationship and explore the long-term effects of interventions on emotional intelligence and resilience.
