Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract to contribute to our Special Issue of Education Sciences, titled Emotions, Emotion Mindsets, and Emotional Intelligence. Research tells us that emotions matter for attention, memory, learning, decision-making relationships, and well-being in school and in everyday life. Yet, many continue to hold beliefs that emotions should be “regulated away” and assume that the skills of emotional intelligence (recognizing emotions, understanding emotions and regulating emotions) are fixed and cannot be taught and learned. This Special Issue seeks to advance scientific research on the beneficial role of emotions and emotional intelligence in our lives, with specific attention to students, educators and educational leaders. Original research and reviews are welcome.

Topics may include (but are not limited to):

  • Measurement of attitudes and mindsets about emotions and emotional intelligence;
  • Interventions aimed at shifting mindsets and skills around emotions and emotional intelligence;
  • The development of attitudes toward emotions and emotional intelligence in children;
  • The role of emotionally intelligent adults in the lives of children/students.

We invite you to submit an abstract (300 words) by 1 March 2024. Full manuscripts will be by invitation only, with final submissions due by 1 October 2024.

The research examined how different profiles of emotional intelligence (attention, clarity, and emotional regulation) act as protective or risk factors against cyber-victimization, taking into account individual and behavioral variables such as gender, sexual orientation, self-esteem, social anxiety, Internet risk, and parental control among high school students (11–18 years). A simulated sample was used, which was derived from an experimental sample of 1908 subjects (50.7% girls). Statistical equivalence was ensured between the two samples, and a multilevel analysis was conducted using the emotional intelligence profiles as the grouping variable. The results showed that the variability in emotional intelligence profiles predicted 96.7% of the variability of cyber-victimization. Factors that increase this likelihood include excessive interpersonal attention and low emotional regulation, higher social anxiety, offline victimization, older age, high parental supervision, and low self-esteem. In addition, being male and heterosexual is associated with a lower risk of cyber-victimization than being female and non-heterosexual. In general, it is suggested that protective measures against cyber-victimization should warn about the risk of Internet use, avoid paternalistic behavior by adults, and reduce rumination or excessive attention to the opinions of others.

The main goal of this study was to examine the extent to which the demographic characteristics of pre-service teachers (gender, family management style, family educational status, size of the family) predict their emotional intelligence (EI) scores through achievement motivation (AMO) and Self-Efficacy (SE) scores. The study consisted of 326 pre-service teachers (270 females, 56 males) studying in various departments at faculties of education across three universities located in the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia regions of Turkiye. The findings indicate that the demographic variables (gender, family management style, family size, family educational status) do not significantly explain the EI levels of pre-service teachers. A moderately positive relationship was found between AMO and EI, but it was observed that AMO is not a significant predictor of EI. A high positive relationship was detected between SE and EI; it was observed that SE explained 63% of the variance in EI. We found that there was no significant difference between the AMO, SE, and EI scores of pre-service teachers studying at different grade/class levels. As we continue to investigate these topics, it becomes evident that teacher education may continue promoting not only cognitive development but also emotional and social development. Full article
