Title: | Direct and indirect relationships between emotional intelligence and subjective fatigue in university students | Contributor(s): | Brown, R (author); Schutte, N (author) | Publication Date: | 2006 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2006.05.001 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/301 | Abstract: | OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to examine the direct and indirect relationships between emotional intelligence and subjective fatigue.METHODS:One hundred sixty seven university students completed questionnaires assessing subjective fatigue, emotional intelligence, and a range of other psychosocial factors. A series of regression analyses were used to examine the direct and indirect relationships between subjective fatigue and psychosocial factors.RESULTS:Higher emotional intelligence was associated with less fatigue. The psychosocial variables depression, anxiety, optimism, internal health locus of control, amount of social support, and satisfaction with social support each partially mediated between emotional intelligence and fatigue. Additionally, sleep quality partially mediated between emotional intelligence and fatigue.CONCLUSION:These findings regarding the association between subjective fatigue, emotional intelligence, and other psychosocial factors may facilitate an understanding of the aetiology of fatigue and contribute to future research examining interventions aimed at helping individuals cope with fatigue. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 60(6), p. 585-593 | Publisher: | Elsevier Inc | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 1879-1360 0022-3999 |
