abstract = {Emotional management is a decisive factor in building stimulating environments for
the comprehensive development of individuals. In this study, 338 students enrolled in education
degrees (n = 338), with an average age of 22.88 years (±5.50), participated. The following instruments
were used: Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEI-S),
Trait Meta Mood Scale 24 (TMMS 24) and Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQi-C). The objective was
to determine the complementarity of certain dimensions of EI that predict greater life satisfaction
based on the multivariate statistics of structural equations. The multi-group model obtained good
structural validity (χ
2 = 103,729; RMSEA = 0.078; GFI = 0.917; CFI = 0.942; IFI = 0.943). In addition,
significant correlations were found between life satisfaction and all dimensions were included in
the emotional intelligence instruments used (p < 0.01). In terms of gender, we found that women
had higher scores in all EI dimensions, in contrast to life satisfaction, where men had higher scores.
The findings suggest the importance of working emotions in future educators to become satisfied and
effective professionals.},
