Emotional Intelligence and Academic/Job Performance during the Pandemic

Dear Colleagues,

During a pandemic, a multitude of changes occur in different areas of life. These changes, seek sustainability for people in response to new demands on the way we react require new coping skills to be developed or strategies we already had to be perfected. Just as in a more personal environment, at school or work, this response must be adjusted to the new social scenarios and challenges.

This Special Issue intends to approach the different ways in which emotional intelligence is involved in individual adaptation to these new demands, whether positive, as a protective factor, or the consequences of the pandemic on emotional health, and thereby, on academic/job performance. In either case, an integrative analysis with relevant data for new theoretical models and/or the design of effective intervention is expected.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. High-quality original research or reviews/meta-analyses that make significant contributions to widening current knowledge on the subject are welcome for this Special Issue. Research areas may include the following: emotional intelligence, emotions, health, motivation, stress and anxiety, burnout, social emotions, emotional education, engagement, performance, distress, risky behavior, social sustainability, people's sustainability, etc.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
