abstract="The main objective of this research was to help clarify the relationship between  ability emotional intelligence (AEI) and bullying in children. Bullying is a  maladaptive behaviour that generates severe adverse consequences in the school  environment and is a matter of growing concern in the educational community. To  investigate the relationship between AEI and bullying, we administered two tests to  a sample of 329 students (52.9% girls) aged between 8 and 12 years old (M(age) =  9.3; SD = 1.2). AEI was assessed using a test based on the interpretation of cinema  scenes (EMOCINE). EMOCINE was designed to measure two of the primary factors  considered in Mayer and Salovey's ability model: emotional perception and emotional  understanding. Furthermore, we administered a measure of bullying and school  violence (AVE), which provides a global index of bullying, as well as a measure of  its intensity, by considering eight scales or types of victimisation (harassment,  intimidation, coercion, threats, social blocking, social exclusion, manipulation and  aggression). The results show that age had a statistically significant effect on  measures of bullying, while gender showed an interaction with victimisation types. A  reduction in bullying behaviours was observed as the age of children increased,  while gender-based analyses revealed different patterns in bullying behaviours. Regarding EI, it was observed that students with high AEI scores presented the  lowest levels in both global bullying indexes and the victimisation types. Consequently, AEI seems to have important implications for bullying behaviours, and  therefore, interventions aimed at the evaluation, training and development of AEI  might offer the educational community the possibility of preventing or redirecting  bullying situations.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
