Although they are primarily applied in the school context, such programmes can also be adapted to specific populations. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an emotional intelligence programme for adolescents involved in legal proceedings, based on the ability model of emotional intelligence proposed by Mayer and Salovey. A quasiexperimental design was used with 231 Colombian adolescents aged between 14 and 18 (M = 15.55, SD = 1.30) . Emotional intelligence and other well-being and mental health variables were assessed using self-report scales. Results indicated that adolescents who participated in the programme improved their emotional intelligence, resilience, and emotional stability, with reduced emotional symptoms, particularly stress. The results suggest that the implemented programme is useful in helping adolescents with behavioural problems improve their mental health and subjective well-being.  \nKeywords: emotional intelligence, adolescents, intervention programme, antisocial behaviour, mental health.  \nFirst submission 16th April 2025; Accepted for publication 11th November 2025.  \n1  \nCorresponding author.

Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the abilities to perceive, understand, facilitate, and regulate emotions in oneself and others (Mayer & Salovey, 1990) . By contrast, social–emotional skills denote a broader set of competencies than EI, encompassing abilities that support behavioural and emotional adjustment in social contexts (Saarni, 1999) . Social–emotional development describes a continuous, wide-ranging trajectory that integrates emotional competencies with social and cognitive growth across life stages (Greenberg & Abenavoli, 2016) . Underpinning these processes is emotional education, a cross-cutting element that enables the learning and cultivation of these competencies (Kotsou et al., 2019) .  \nIn the present study, we adopt the ability-based model ofEI proposed by Salovey and Mayer (1990), which is well established. It defines EI as the capacity to accurately perceive, appraise, and express emotions; to understand emotional information; and to use that information to facilitate thinking and to regulate emotions in oneself and others (Mayer et al., 2016) . This framework characterises emotional skills as a domain of emotional EI that can interact with cognitive skills (Mayer et al., 2008) . It also establishes that emotional capacity involves precise reasoning about emotions and the use of emotions to enhance cognition, well-being, and behaviour (Fiori & Vesely-Maillefer, 2018; Rivers et al., 2020) .  \nAdolescence, problem behaviours and emotional intelligence  \nAdolescence is a critical stage of human development encompassing biological growth, psychological changes, and major social role transitions. During this period, young people experience substantial physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development while forming their identities and preparing for adult r","cbCaioTbyYn08EyY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioTbyYn08EyY","pdf",511203,21,"English","# Introduction\n# Adolescence, problem behaviours and emotional intelligence","[{\"question\":\"What is the aim of the emotional intelligence intervention study?\",\"answer\":\"To determine the effectiveness of an emotional intelligence programme for adolescents involved in legal proceedings, grounded in Mayer and Salovey’s ability model.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted and how were outcomes measured?\",\"answer\":\"A quasi-experimental design was used with 231 Colombian adolescents aged 14 to 18, and emotional intelligence plus well-being and mental health variables were assessed with self-report scales.\"},{\"question\":\"What improvements were reported for participants who joined the programme?\",\"answer\":\"Participants improved emotional intelligence, resilience, and emotional stability, with reduced emotional symptoms, especially stress.\"}]","Effects of an Emotional Intelligence Intervention on Justice-Involved Adolescents | PDF",1792034383,53]
