Abstract

This quantitative study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence, academic load, and mental health in a sample of 500 high school students aged 14 to 18 years. The study also sought to explore whether emotional intelligence moderates the impact of academic load on mental health. Participants completed self-reports assessing emotional intelligence, academic load, and mental health using the DASS-21. Data were analyzed through correlation and regression analysis. The study revealed a significant negative correlation between emotional intelligence and mental health, indicating that higher emotional intelligence is associated with better mental health outcomes. In contrast, academic load showed a positive correlation with mental health, indicating that heavier academic load is associated with greater mental health problems. Multiple regression analysis confirmed the significance of emotional intelligence and academic load as predictors of mental health. In addition, the interaction between emotional intelligence and academic load was also significant, indicating that emotional intelligence moderates the relationship between academic load and mental health.
