Abstract:
Objective To investigate the trait coping styles, emotional intelligence, positive mental characters and the impact of event among Chinese recruits, and the relationship among them. Methods The Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ), Schutte's Emotional Intelligence Scale (SSEIS), Positive Mental Characters Scale for Recruits (PMCS-R), and Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) were used to assess the coping styles, emotional intelligence, positive mental characters and the impact of event in 1 837 male recruits that were divided into two groups (stress group and control group) by considering the scores of the IES-R as the screening criteria (≥35). The data were analyzed by t test, correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis. Results Totally 148 (8.1%) male recruits with stress were screened, and 163 male recruits without stress were selected using stratified random sampling according to demographic characteristics of age, education level and so on. There were significant differences between stress and control groups in the scores of TCSQ, SSEIS and PMCS-R except utilization of emotions and wisdom. Multiple stepwise regression analyses showed that the negative coping, regulation of emotion and wisdom entered the regression equation of the total score of IES-R in the stress group (F=13.395, R2=0.218, P<0.05). However, in the control group, only negative coping came into the equation of the total score of IES-R (F=22.887, R2=0.155, P<0.05). Conclusion Trait coping styles, emotional intelligence and positive mental characters can predict the impact of stress event among recruits effectively, which could provide theoretical basis for the mental health service in recruits.
