| description | Objective: The objective of this study was to establish the relationship between symptoms of
PTSD and various score of emotional intelligence scales. Methods: This study was a crosssectional
research design. Participants were recruited from the local community health center in
Dearborn, Michigan. Child Posttraumatic Stress Reaction Index (CPTS-RI) measured the
presence of PTSD symptoms and the Adolescents Multifactor Emotional Intelligence Scale
(AMEIS) measured emotional intelligence. Results: Findings suggest an inverse relationship
between PTSD severity and emotional intelligence. The PTSD score was negatively correlated
with all AMEIS subscales. Two significant negative correlations were found in the tasks of
using emotion and understanding emotion. Conclusion: Findings suggest that individuals with
severe PTSD symptoms appear to lack the abilities to understand and use emotions. It was
expected that the findings will be useful in identifying factors that may decrease or contribute to
decreasing the severity of PTSD symptoms of these children. Implications of the findings were
discussed, and recommendations for future research were presented. |
