Title: | Low emotional intelligence as a predictor of substance-use problems | Contributor(s): | Riley, Hannah (author); Schutte, Nicola (author) | Publication Date: | 2003 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/4289 | Abstract: | This study explored the relationship between low emotional intelligence and substance-use problems in adults. One hundred and forty-one participants completed the Self-Administered Alcoholism Screening Test [1, 2], the Drug Abuse Screening Test [3], an emotional intelligence scale [4], and a measure of psychosocial coping [5]. Low emotional intelligence was a significant predictor of both alcohol-related problems and drug-related problems. Poorer coping predicted drug-related problems, but not alcohol-related problems. Coping was not found to be a significant mediator between emotional intelligence and substance-use problems. Possible implications for intervention and treatment efforts are discussed. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Drug Education, 33(4), p. 391-398 | Publisher: | Baywood Publishing Co Inc | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1541-4159 0047-2379 |
