This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and perceived stress (PS) in dental undergraduates. All dental undergraduates attending a UK dental school were invited to complete a questionnaire on age, gender, year of study, EI, and PS. Two hundred and thirteen students (48 percent male) participated, a response rate of 70 percent. The mean score for EI was 117.54 (S.D. 14.90) and PS was 17.73 (S.D. 6.49). Factor analysis confirmed four factors previously identified in the literature as comprising emotional intelligence: optimism/mood regulation, utilization of emotions, appraisal of emotions, and social skills. T-tests indicated that females had significantly higher EI scores than males. Mean PS scores were significantly higher for students aged over twenty-one years compared with those aged twenty-one years or less (p < 0.001), female compared to male students (p < 0.05), and those in higher years compared to those in lower years of study (p < 0.001). Correlational analysis showed an inverse relationship between EI and PS. Multiple regression analysis identified year of study, optimism/mood regulation, and gender as independent, significant predictors of PS. In conclusion, low EI scorers report more PS. Future research should investigate the relationships of EI and PS with impact on lifestyle behaviors, academic and clinical performance, and health outcomes.

这项研究调查了牙科大学生的情绪智力 (EI) 与感知压力 (PS) 之间的关系。邀请所有就读于英国牙科学校的牙科本科生填写有关年龄,性别,学习年份,EI和PS的问卷。参加了213名学生 (48% 名男性),答复率为70%。EI的平均得分为117.54 (s.d.14.90) 和PS为17.73 (s.d.6.49)。因素分析证实了先前在文献中确定为包括情绪智力的四个因素: 乐观/情绪调节,情绪利用,情绪评估和社交技能。T检验表明,女性的EI得分明显高于男性。21岁以上的学生与21岁以下的学生相比,平均PS得分明显更高 (p <0.001),女性与男学生相比 (p <0.05),而高年级学生与低年级学生相比 (p <0.001)。相关分析显示EI和PS之间呈反比关系。多元回归分析确定了研究年份,乐观/情绪调节和性别是PS的独立重要预测因素。总之,低EI得分者报告更多的PS。未来的研究应调查EI和PS与生活方式行为,学术和临床表现以及健康结果的关系。
