PsykologiaThe present thesis examined the association between trait emotional intelligence (EI)
and well-being (subjective well-being [SWB] and physiological well-being) among
Japanese participants (eldercare nurses and undergraduate university students). This
research had four primary goals: First, to identify profiles of trait EI and to investigate
their association with SWB (Study I); second, to examine the role of trait EI in the
process of SWB (Study II); third, to investigate the association of trait EI with
psychological state and physiological well-being in a laboratory-based stress induction
condition (Study III); and fourth, to investigate the association of trait EI with affect
and physiological well-being in the process of recovery in day-to-day life (Study IV).
Three different datasets were used. For Studies I and II, cross-sectional data were
collected from Japanese employees (N = 500). Study III investigated a sample of 28季
undergraduate Japanese students. Study IV utilized short-term longitudinal data
randomly sampled from Japanese employees (N = 50) who had participated in the
previous questionnaire survey (Studies I and II). The research yielded three primary
results. First, an analysis based on the person-centered approach revealed six distinct
profiles of trait EI. In general, the profiles in which all ability dimensions showed
higher values were associated with lower burnout, lower depression, and higher work
engagement, whereas the profiles in which all ability dimensions showed lower values
were linked to more adverse outcomes. In addition, the trait EI profile characterized by
the highest values for all ability dimensions, although lower for interpersonal skills,
showed the best outcomes, and the trait EI profile combining moderate intrapersonal
EI, high interpersonal EI, and low situational EI relatively poorer outcomes. Second,
the results showed that trait EI fueled work engagement by enhancing social support,
which in turn resulted in improved creativity. Moreover, trait EI interacted with social
support: when trait EI was moderate or high, social support improved work
engagement, which in turn stimulated creativity. Third, the results revealed that
persons with higher trait EI showed better psychological state and more adaptive
autonomic activity in both an experimental stress condition and a naturalistic situation
compared to their lower trait EI peers. These findings enrich our understanding of the
role of trait EI in promoting well-being and highlight the significant importance of trait
EI as a personal resource for human flourishing and success in positive psychology.
