abstract = {Our study aimed to investigate whether the Emotional Intelligence (EI) might mediate
the relation between anxiety and attentional functioning. Participants with high vs. low traitanxiety carried out a task to measure the functioning of the attentional networks (orienting,
alerting, and executive control) and filled out the TMMS-48 questionnaire. Results showed
greater interference (reduced control) in the high trait-anxiety group. Furthermore, the
Attention factor of the TMMS was related with the orienting network, whereas the cognitive
control depended on the Clarity and Repair factors. A suitable profile of EI (i.e., average
scores in Attention and high in Clarity and Repair) lead to an improvement in cognitive
control and performance in the attentional task. High trait-anxiety participants with this
profile not showed deficit in the control, and they had similar performance to low anxiety
group. This pattern of data leads us to conclude that EI might be a mediator factor mitigating
the negative effects of the anxiety on attention.},
