Abstract
O consumo de álcool e a inteligência emocional (IE) são fatores que podem influenciar
a adaptação aos desafios do Ensino Superior, que exigem dos estudantes resiliência e
competência emocional. O presente estudo tem como objetivos: explorar e caracterizar
o consumo de álcool, incluindo frequência, motivos e consequências do consumo, com
base em variáveis pessoais e académicas; analisar a relação entre IE e consumo de
álcool; avaliar o impacto do consumo de álcool na adaptação ao ensino superior,
considerando a adaptação social, académica e pessoal-emocional; e investigar o papel
da IE como variável protetora na adaptação ao Ensino Superior. Participaram no estudo
131 estudantes do Ensino Superior (68.7% sexo feminino; 31.3% sexo masculino), com
idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 30 anos (M = 21.57, DP = 2.17). Os estudantes
responderam a questionários de avaliação de IE, níveis de consumo de álcool,
consequências do consumo de álcool, e motivos para o consumo de álcool, adaptação
ao Ensino Superior, satisfação académica e rendimento académico. Os dados
recolhidos sobre IE, adaptação ao Ensino Superior, satisfação e rendimento académico
foram explorados em função de variáveis como o género e os níveis de consumo (baixo
ou elevado) dos estudantes, identificando-se diferenças significativas entre grupos. Os
resultados indicam ainda que níveis mais elevados de IE estão associados a um menor
consumo de álcool e a uma melhor adaptação ao ensino superior. Além disso, verificou se que o consumo excessivo de álcool está relacionado com um pior rendimento
académico. Estes resultados sublinham a importância de promover a IE como um fator
protetor no contexto de Ensino Superior, com implicações práticas para intervenções
que tenham como objetivo melhorar a adaptação dos estudantes, promover o seu
sucesso e reduzir comportamentos de risco associados ao consumo de álcool.
Alcohol consumption and emotional intelligence (EI) are factors that can influence adaptation to the challenges of Higher Education, requiring students to possess resilience and emotional competence. This study aims to: explore and characterize alcohol consumption, including frequency, motives, and consequences of consumption, based on personal and academic variables; analyze the relationship between EI and alcohol consumption; evaluate the impact of alcohol consumption on adaptation to higher education, considering social, academic, and personal-emotional adaptation; and investigate the role of EI as a protective variable in adapting to higher education. The study included 131 Higher Education students (68.7% female; 31.3% male), aged between 18 and 30 years (M = 21.57, SD = 2.17). The students completed questionnaires assessing EI, levels of alcohol consumption, consequences of alcohol consumption, and reasons for alcohol consumption, adaptation to Higher Education, academic satisfaction, and academic performance. The collected data on EI, adaptation to higher education, satisfaction, and academic performance were explored based on variables such as gender and levels of consumption (low or high) among students, identifying significant differences between groups. The results also indicate that higher levels of EI are associated with lower alcohol consumption and better adaptation to higher education. Furthermore, excessive alcohol consumption was found to be related to poorer academic performance. These findings underscore the importance of promoting EI as a protective factor in the context of Higher Education, with practical implications for interventions aimed at improving student adaptation, promoting their success, and reducing risky behaviors associated with alcohol consumption.
