Abstract

This research analyses the emotional intelligence in adolescents of two institutions with a public (Institución José Eusebio Caro) and private (the Salesian institution San Juan Bosco) educational system in a sample of students (N=450) from sixth to eleventh grade, between 11 and 20 years old. The following instruments were used: Trait Meta Mood Scale (Tmms-24) to measure the components of emotional intelligence (Attention, clarity and repair) and the questionnaire of socio-demographic data of own authorship. The results show that, as far as the private school is concerned, out of 76 students (female sex), the component of Emotional Clarity predominates 68.42% (52), showing that 31.57% (24) should improve in terms of their emotional attention; similarly, at this institution, out of 93 students (male sex), the component of Emotional Repair prevails, that is 74.19% (69), however, 34.04% (32) of the total number of men should improve in terms of Emotional Clarity. On the other hand, from the public institution, it was found that of the total of 151 students (female sex) the component of Emotional Repair prevails, 47.68% (72) while 62.31% (95) of this total must improve in terms of Emotional Attention; In parallel and as for the male sex, 52.92% with a total of 74, most of them are located in Emotional Repair observing that 73 of these students with a percentage of 56.15% must improve in terms of Emotional Attention. Finally, as a conclusion by the two institutions, with respect to the private institution, women and men together, there is evidence of a strengthening of 69.82% of 118 students in the Attention component, this being the predominant factor inthe emotional intelligence component; and on the other hand, with respect to the public institution, 51.95% of 146 of these students handle the emotional repair component above the rest, finding significant differences between both institutions.
