摘要：The trait emotional intelligence (TEI) refers to individual differences in the perception, processing, regulation and utilization of emotional information. Several investigations have showed relation between TEI and health factors. The purpose of this study was to examine whether emotional intelligence is associated with perceived stress. Participants were 150 volunteer female students. All participants were asked to complete Bar-on Emotional Intelligence Inventory (Bar-on, 1997) and Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983). The results indicated a significant association between emotional intelligence and perceived stress (p ≤ 0.01). Regression analysis also revealed multiple correlations between TEI and perceived stress. Regression coefficient showed that emotional intelligence significantly predicted perceived stress.
