Emotional Intelligence Key to Teen Happiness and Stress Levels.
The study looked at how emotional intelligence and optimism/pessimism affect how well teenagers cope with stress and how satisfied they are with life. They found that teenagers who are good at understanding and managing their emotions tend to be happier and less stressed. Even if a teenager is naturally more optimistic or pessimistic, their emotional intelligence still plays a big role in how they feel. This means that being able to handle emotions well can make a big difference in how teenagers feel about their lives, regardless of their natural outlook on things.
