(1) Background: Several studies have shown that high anxiety impairs sport performance, making it important to develop strategies which improve the emotional self-regulation of athletes. The present study analyzed the relationship between emotional intelligence, motivational climate in sport, and anxiety according to participation in contact or non-contact sports, using multi-group structural equation modeling; (2) Methods: This research was conducted with a sample of 371 semi-professional athletes from Spain. The main variables were emotional intelligence, motivational climate in sport, and anxiety. A multi-group path analysis was developed and demonstrated acceptable fit (χ2 = 418.60; df = 46; p < 0.001; Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.959; Normalized Fit Index (NFI) = 0.955; Incremental Fit Index (IFI) = 0.959; Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.063); (3) Results: A negative association was identified between task-oriented climate and ego-oriented climate. Moreover, there was a positive relationship between task-oriented climate and emotional intelligence, which was strongest in individuals participating in non-contact sports. The relationship between ego-oriented climate and emotional intelligence was less evident. Furthermore, both state anxiety and trait anxiety were negatively correlated with emotional intelligence; (4) Conclusions: The key conclusion from the present research is that task-oriented motivational climates positively influence levels of emotional intelligence and anxiety, especially in contact sports. It is important to encourage the development of self-determined motivational climates in order to avoid emotional states which can hinder performance.

Moderating Role

The aim of the study is to examine the moderating role of sports performance in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and stress coping strategies. In a sample of 171 elite and 169 non-elite athletes, EI was found to be related to task-oriented strategies, and completely unrelated to emotion-oriented strategies. Sport performance moderates the relationship between managing and regulating emotions and using avoidant coping strategies, in a way that non-elite athletes with higher scores on this EI subscale are more likely to use distraction-oriented coping.

Background: Emotional and motivational factors are fundamental in the context of sport, as they directly relate to sports performance and anxiety. Methods: The present study aimed to analyze the relationships between motivational climate (MC), emotional intelligence (EI), and anxiety within a sample of footballers playing at a low level. The sample was composed of 282 registered football players aged between 16 and 18 years old (16.96 ± 0.77), playing in the lower tier in the province of Jaen (Spain). Data were self-reported, with participants responding to the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire (PMCSQ-2), the Schutte Self-Report Inventory (SSRI), and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Results: The results showed that footballers who reported higher levels of state anxiety and trait anxiety also demonstrated lower EI and more negatively perceived and regulated their emotions. Moreover, an ego-oriented climate was associated with higher levels of anxiety, while a task-oriented climate was related to lower levels of anxiety and higher levels of EI. No relationship was identified between the emotional aspects of young footballers and holding a motivational orientation toward an ego climate. Conclusions: Football players who more greatly perceived a task-oriented climate had higher EI and usually reported lower levels of anxiety related to sport performance. It is therefore important to promote intrinsic motivations and develop the capacity of footballers to regulate their own emotions.

Psychological Coping

Psychological coping skills in sport are believed to be central to athlete performance and well-being. This study examined the relationship between the perceived motivational climate in elite collegiate sport teams and player psychological coping skills use. Division I athletes (N = 467) completed a questionnaire examining their perceptions of how caring, task-, and ego-involving their teams were and their use of sport specific psychological coping skills (i.e., coping with adversity, peaking under pressure, goal setting/mental preparation, concentration, freedom from worry, confidence/achievement motivation, and coachability). Structural equation modeling revealed positive relationships between perceptions of a task-involving climate and confidence/achievement motivation (β = 0.42) and goal setting/mental preparation (β = 0.27). Caring climate perceptions were positively associated with coachability (β = 0.34). These findings illustrate how encouraging athletes and coaches to create a caring, task-involving climate may facilitate athletes’ use of psychological coping skills and set athletes up to perform their best and have a positive sporting experience.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between harmonious and obsessive passion and coping, and assessed whether coping mediated the relationship between passion types and changes in burnout and goal attainment. College- and university-level volleyball players (N = 421) completed measures of passion, coping, burnout, and goal attainment at the start and end of a season. Results of structural equation modeling, using a true latent change approach, supported a model whereby types of passion were indirectly related to changes in burnout and goal attainment via coping. Harmonious passion was positively related to task-oriented coping which, in turn, was positively associated with change in goal attainment. Obsessive passion was positively associated with disengagement-oriented coping which, in turn, was positively and negatively associated with changes in burnout and goal attainment, respectively. This study identifies coping as a reason why passionate athletes may experience changes in burnout and goal attainment over the course of a season.

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role of mindful engagement in the relationship between male high school athletes’ motivational climate perceptions on their teams (i.e., caring, task-, and ego-involving climate) to athlete coachability. Athletes (N = 164, Mage = 15.58 years) from multiple sports completed measures assessing mindful engagement in sport (Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale—Revised), Caring Climate Scale, task- and ego-involving climate perceptions (Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire), and coachability (Athletic Coping Skills Inventory). Initial bivariate correlations linked mindful engagement and coachability positively with perceptions of a caring and task-involving climate and negatively with ego-involving climate perceptions. Structural equation modeling analyses then revealed mindful engagement mediated the relationship between climate and coachability. Encouraging coaches and players to foster a caring/task-involving climate might assist in enhancing athletes’ mindful engagement in sport, which may positively influence the degree to which they are coachable.

Kajian empirikal ke atas kecerdasan emosi telah menunjukkan bahawa wujudnya perkaitan yang rapat antara kecerdasan emosi dengan tingkah laku pelajar. Pada masa yang sama, laporan mengenai beberapa kejadian yang berkaitan dengan cetusan emosi dalam kalangan pelajar di negara kita menimbulkan persoalan tentang tahap kecerdasan emosi mereka. Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti indeks kecerdasan emosi dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah menengah dan menghuraikan profil kecerdasan emosi mereka. Sampel kajian ini terdiri daripada 513 orang pelajar tingkatan dua dan empat di empat buah sekolah di negeri Selangor dan Negeri Sembilan. Inventori Kecerdasan Emosi Malaysia – Remaja (IKEM–R) ditadbir untuk mengukur kecerdasan emosi responden. Indeks kecerdasan emosi diukur berdasarkan tujuh domain kecerdasan emosi bermula dari 0 – 100 bagi menggambarkan kedudukan kecerdasan emosi mereka. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa indeks kecerdasan emosi pelajar–pelajar yang dikaji ialah 76.02, iaitu berada di bahagian bawah kuartil keempat. Profil kecerdasan emosi bagi keseluruhan sampel mendapati terdapat tiga domain yang memperoleh skor kurang dari 75 peratus, iaitu domain–domain regulasi kendiri, kemahiran sosial dan kesedaran kendiri. Justeru, ketiga–tiga domain ini perlu diberi perhatian untuk meningkatkan kecerdasan emosi mereka secara keseluruhan. Kertas ini juga melaporkan profil kecerdasan emosi mengikut tingkatan, jantina dan lokasi sekolah. Kata kunci: Kecerdasan emosi; perkembangan emosi; remaja Empirical research on emotional intelligence has uncovered the relationship between emotional intelligence and students’ behavior. Concomitantly, reports in the media regarding events that are related to emotional outburst among the students raised an issue about students’ level of emotional intelligent. This study aims to identify emotional intelligence quotient among secondary school students. Additionally, this study also aims to describe their emotional intelligence profile. Sample of the study consisted of 513 form two and form four students from four schools in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. Malaysian Emotional Quotient Inventory for adolescene (MEQI–A) was administered to determine the emotional quotient of the respondent. The EQ index was calculated based on the seven domains and ranging from 0 – 100 to describe individual’s emotional intelligence. Results of the study showed emotional intelligence index of the respondents at 76.02 that is in the lower part of the fourth quartile. The emotional intelligence profile for the whole sampel showed respondents scored less than 75 percent in three domains namely the domain of self–regulation, social skills and self awareness. Thus, these domains should be addressed accordingly in order to increase students’ emotional intelligence as a whole. This paper also reported the profile of emotional intelligence according to form, gender and school location. Key words: Emotional intelligence; emotional development; adolescence

The Relationship

Despite the critical importance of emotional intelligence in effectively interacting with other people, its role has been overlooked in scholarly research on cross-border interorganizational relationships. Drawing on emotion regulation theory, the authors propose a model that conceptualizes links among exporters’ emotional intelligence, key behavioral dimensions characterizing the atmosphere of the relationship with import buyers, and the resulting relational performance. They test the model with data collected from 262 Greek exporters using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that higher levels of exporter emotional intelligence enhance communication and social bonding with the importer while diminishing distance and conflict in their working relationship. Relational performance is positively influenced by communication and social bonding but negatively affected by distance and conflict. The results also reveal the moderating effect of both opportunism and interpartner incompatibility on the association between the exporter’s emotional intelligence and the behavioral atmosphere of the relationship with import buyers.

The aim of the present study is to examine the predictors of performance on the Romanian Bacalaureat (BAC). The study analyses the relationship between the composite BAC score as the criterion and several psychological attributes as the predictors: general cognitive ability, emotional intelligence, learning motivation, grit, conscientiousness, self-regulation, and the hours spent on exam preparation. Data analysis reveals the fact that intelligence does not predict BAC performance at all. The same result also holds for the association between BAC performance and emotional intelligence or motivation. Self-regulation, conscientiousness and grit are trivially, yet not statistically significant associated with BAC performance. Even the number of hours spent on exam preparation donot predict BAC performance.Taking these results into account, it is crucial to explain why no statistically significant association was obtained between the predictors and criterion. In the author’s mind, the findings should sound a warning with regard to the exam held in Romania when one graduates high school.
