Resumen

Marco teórico: la inteligencia emocional es una de las variables psicológicas más estudiadas en la actualidad, así como el apoyo social, que puede actuar como protector de la salud y el bienestar psico-lógico. El objetivo principal del trabajo es estudiar la relación entre la inteligencia emocional y el apoyo social percibido con la felicidad subjetiva y la satisfacción vital en universitarios de dos culturas y con-textos diferentes: España y Ecuador. Método: 760 estudiantes universitarios, incluyendo 379 españoles (83.1% mujeres) y 381 ecua-torianos (76.6% mujeres), completaron las escalas Trait Meta Mood Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Satisfaction With Life Scale y Subjective Happiness Scale. Resultados: a pesar de encontrar diferencias entre las muestras en cada variable, los análisis co-rrelacionales muestran la existencia de relaciones estadísticamente significativas y positivas en ambas muestras entre las dimensiones de claridad emocional y reparación de las emociones, pertenecientes a la inteligencia emocional, tanto con la satisfacción vital como con la felicidad subjetiva, y en dimen-siones del apoyo social percibido, siendo el apoyo social percibido por la familia un predictor tanto de la satisfacción con la vida como de la felicidad subjetiva. Conclusiones: la presente investigación contribuye a una mayor comprensión de la relación de la inteligencia emocional y el apoyo social con el bienestar subjetivo en dos culturas diferentes.
