Enhancing Mental Well-being through Psychological Education: The Role of Emotional Intelligence Development

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between psychological education, emotional intelligence, and favourable mental health outcomes. The study uses a mixed-methods research approach to investigate the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the link between psychological education treatments and emotional intelligence development, as well as their aggregate impact on individuals' mental well-being. 285 participants were given quantitative assessments of emotional intelligence and mental well-being, while in-depth interviews gave qualitative insights into their experiences with psychological education. The quantitative data show a high positive association between emotional intelligence and mental well-being, which is backed by a hierarchical regression analysis confirming emotional intelligence's predictive significance in mental health outcomes. The transforming influence of psychological education interventions on emotional awareness, control, and interpersonal interactions is further emphasized by qualitative analysis. The combination of quantitative and qualitative data emphasizes psychological education's potential as a tool for promoting emotional fortitude and wellbeing. This study adds to the growing body of research on educational approaches that foster emotional intelligence and advance overall mental health.
