Title: | Emotional intelligence mediates the relationship between mindfulness and subjective well-being | Contributor(s): | Schutte, Nicola (author) ; Malouff, John M (author) | Publication Date: | 2011 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.paid.2011.01.037 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/9583 | Abstract: | Both mindfulness and emotional intelligence are associated with positive life outcomes, including greater subjective well-being. The present study examined whether emotional intelligence mediates the relationship between mindfulness and subjective well-being. Participants completed measures of characteristic mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and affect and life satisfaction as indices of subjective well-being. Higher levels of mindfulness were associated with greater emotional intelligence, positive affect, and life satisfaction and lower negative affect. Higher levels of emotional intelligence were associated with greater positive affect and life satisfaction and lower negative affect. Emotional intelligence mediated between mindfulness and higher positive affect, lower negative affect, and greater life satisfaction. These results provide information regarding a possible process through which mindfulness exerts its beneficial effects. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Personality and Individual Differences, 50(7), p. 1116-1119 | Publisher: | Elsevier Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1873-3549 0191-8869 |
