Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a concept that has aroused great interest among scientists from different psychological areas in the last years. The main objective of this paper was to review the scientific literature on EI in the mental health field published so far. Firstly, a literature review on EI and well-being is presented; secondly, we analyze how EI is related to psychological adjustment variables; and, finally, the studies carried out in the field of clinical psychopathology are summarized. The results of previous studies lead us to contemplate EI as a clinical variable involved in the health-disease process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In synthesis, despite the fact that in some circumstances, the need or exaggerated perception of control is counterproductive for adaptation and psychological growth, the general acceptance is that, at least in moderate degree, perceived control and real one are benefits for people and a valuable resource to face difficulties in life. Therefore, individuals, groups and nations feel free to seek their own destinies and not victims of circumstance. Individuals and peoples who have control are capable to shape and transform the circumstances, those who build a better future. Therefore, targeted preventive and palliative goals, mental health professionals we should promote the development and optimization of a control that have been moderate and flexible as nutrient growth and psychological and individual's biopsychosocial well-being which can include their community too. The paper addresses the meaning of control, the development of real and perceived control, the relationship between control, health and disease control, welfare and psychopathology, renouncing attempts to control, and control and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Warr's vitamin model (1994, 1996) is a prevalent theoretical model on occupational stress, and it presents hypothesis pretty different to other prevalent model of work stress as well as accurate predictions. Amongst the most relevant hypothesis are those of non-linear relationships between working conditions and worker's well-being, and the moderator effects of personal characteristics on the stressors-well-being relationships. Nevertheless of its theoretical appealing Warr's model has not been widely tested, and when empirically tested the results are contradictory. The aim of this paper is to empirically test the two broad hypothesis of Warr's vitamin model: non-linear effects of working conditions on well-being, and moderator effects of personal characteristics on these relationships. The dependent variables used are the general health questionnaire and its two components, anxiety and depression. Results do not support the non-linear hypothesis of Warr's model, and the support for the moderator effects of personal characteristics on the stressors-well being is weak [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
