The Impact of Cybervictimization on Psychological Adjustment in Adolescence: Analyzing the Role of Emotional Intelligence.

ABSTRACT: Cybervictimization has been associated with serious emotional adjustment problems such as low self-concept and depressive symptomatology. In addition, these problems can negatively affect the well-being of the victims, manifesting in their levels of satisfaction with life. However, it should be noted that not all cybervictims develop these consequences with the same intensity. These differences seem to be related to the development of emotional intelligence (EI), as it can positively influence adolescents' emotional adjustment and well-being even when problems arise. The objective of this work was to analyze the role of EI on cybervictimization and adolescents' emotional adjustment, especially in self-concept, depression, and life satisfaction. The participants in the study were 1318 adolescents of both sexes and aged between 11 and 18 years (M = 13.8, SD = 1.32), from four secondary compulsory education centers in Spain. EI influences the relationship between self-concept and life satisfaction, and between depression and life satisfaction. In addition, the relationships of cybervictimization with self-concept and depression are influenced when introducing EI and its dimensions (emotional attention, clarity, regulation). These data support the idea that EI may affect the relationship between cybervictimization and adolescents' emotional adjustment.

The SEM analysis revealed that the impact of exogenous variables OCB and EI were statistically significant (p < 0.001) on endogenous variable psychological wellbeing of IT-enabled industry employees. Furthermore, EI partially mediates psychological wellbeing through the OCB of information technology employees. This empirical study also examined the moderating effects of EI on the psychological wellbeing of information technology-enabled employees through OCB. The slope analysis reveals that emotional intelligence strengthens the positive association between OCB and the PWB of IT-enabled sector employees. EI and OCB enhance PWB and employee performance. The findings of this study have several important implications for organizations in the IT sector and can be used to develop strategies for promoting OCB and EI among employees.
