dc.description.abstractEl objetivo del presente estudio fue el de analizar la relación entre la Inteligencia Emocional, el Afecto Positivo y las fortalezas y virtu- des descritas en el VIA. Se exploró si la Inteligencia Emocional predecía los niveles de los participantes en las virtudes, además de si el Afecto Posi- tivo constituía un posible mediador. Para ello se utilizaron distintas medi- das: 419 estudiantes completaron el Trait Meta-Mood Scale para la Inteli- gencia Emocional (TMMS, Fernández-Berrocal, Extremera & Ramos, 2004). Las fortalezas y virtudes fueron evaluadas con el Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS; Peterson, Park, & Seligman, 2005), y el Afecto Positivo fue evaluado con el Positive (PA) and Negative Affect (NA) Schedule (PANAS; Sandín et al., 1999). Nuestros resultados mostra- ron una correlación positiva y significativa entre todas las fortalezas y vir- tudes del VIA con las escalas del TMMS Claridad Emocional y Reparación Emocional. Atención Emocional obtuvo correlaciones significativas para todas las virtudes exceptuando Templanza. Análisis posteriores demostra- ron que las escalas del TMMS predecían las virtudes del VIA, al mismo tiempo que el Afecto Positivo mostraba un posible rol mediador en la pre- dicción de Templanza y Humanidad. Estos resultados respaldan la relación existente entre Inteligencia Emocional y carácter, así como la importancia del Afecto Positivo en dicha relación.es
dc.description.abstractThe present study had the objective of analysing the relationship between Emotional Intelligence, Positive Affect, VIA's virtues and charac- ter strengths. Additionally, it was explored if Emotional Intelligence pre- dicted the virtue's levels of the participants, and if Positive Affect consti- tuted a possible mediator. To that end, different measures were used: 419 undergraduate students completed the Spanish version of the Trait Meta- Mood Scale for emotional intelligence (TMMS, Fernández-Berrocal, Ex- tremera & Ramos, 2004). Character strenghts and virtues were assessed with the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS; Peterson, Park, & Seligman, 2005), and Positive Affect (PA) was measured with the Span- ish version of the Positive and Negative Affect (NA) Schedule (PANAS; Sandín et al., 1999). Our results showed a significant positive correlation between all the VIA strengths and virtues with TMMS scales Emotional Clarity and Emotion Repair. Emotional Attention showed significant cor- relations for all the virtues except Temperance. Further analyses demon- strated that TMMS scales predicted VIA virtues, and Positive Affect ap- peared as a possible mediator in the prediction of Temperance and Hu- manity virtues. These results support the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and strength of character, as well as the importance of Positive Affect in this relationship.es
