Abstract

The research is titled Influence Of Armed Conflict On The Emotional Intelligence Of The Catatumbo Young Adults and aims to determine the influence of armed conflict on the emotional intelligence of young adults from the municipalities of Teorama and San Calixto in the Catatumbo region, through a mixed-cut investigation, enabling the contribution of the promotion and prevention of the mental health and social well-being of young people in the Catatumbo region. A mixed methodology of a cross-sectional phenomenological nature was used, working with 12 victims of the armed conflict, of whom 6 were from Teorama and 6 from San Calixto, to whom the meta-knowledge instrument of emotional states (Trait Meta Mood Scale; TMMS 24) was applied quantitatively and at a qualitative level the semi-structure interview techniques were used, focus group and non-participating observation. Finally, it is concluded that armed conflict influences emotional intelligence and that it is presented as a barrier to the development of emotions, since it is evident the low development of social skills such as active listening, relating to other people, being able to deal with new or stressful situations, due to the power exercised by groups outside the law, while always being exposed to situations of conflict, causes them to normalize violence and not have clarity of feelings, nor pay attention to them.
