- Abstract
Introduction. The objective of the present study was to determine if emotional intelligence and family stress are predictors of satisfaction with studies in university students. Method. Cross-sectional predictive study with a quantitative approach. The population was made up of 414 university students of both sexes who applied the TMMS-24 Emotional Intelligence Scale by Salovey and Mayer Family Stress Scale, the original version of Olson, and the Brief Satisfaction with Studies EBSE scale. Results. When performing statistical processing, it was evident that family stress has a standardized beta coefficient β = -0.116; p < 0.05 indicates a low, statistically significant, indirect prediction. In other words, the greater the family stress, the lower the satisfaction with studies. In the same way, the standardized beta coefficient that represents the prediction of emotional intelligence on satisfaction with studies, which was β = 0.470; p < 0.05, showed a direct, moderate, and statistically significant predictive value. Discussion and Conclusions. The results establish that emotional intelligence and family stress predict satisfaction with studies. The areas that are part of emotional intelligence, such as perception, understanding, and regulation, are related to family stress levels, and these influence the degree of satisfaction with studies. The greater the emotional intelligence, the greater the satisfaction with studies and different life stages.
