Abstract

The study explores the interdependence between the level of emotional intelligence development and maladaptive personality traits in adolescents. The research sample consisted of 250 adolescents from Olt County, Romania. Descriptive results indicate a higher mean score for the global dimension of emotional intelligence in girls compared to boys, however, no statistically significant difference was found (U = 7177.000, p = 0.261). At the global level of emotional intelligence, no significant differences were observed in adolescents from different family types nor based on their environment of origin (urban or rural). Analysis of the results using the Spearman correlation coefficient revealed that all PID-5 personality traits have significant negative correlations with one or more dimensions of emotional intelligence. This result suggests that individuals with maladaptive personality traits tend to exhibit a reduced capacity for emotional regulation, understanding, and expression, affecting both intrapersonal and interpersonal dimensions.
