Abstract

This study evaluates Emotional Skills (E.S) and Emotional Wellness (E.W) of a sample of 190 4th of ESO students (97 men and 93 women). Students are assessed based on the E.S and E.W, and cluster analysis was performed based on the E.W. Overall the students had good levels of E.S and E.W. No statistically significant differences between men and women were found in the general index or the E.S and E.W, however differences were found in E.W and in specific components from E.S. Among students (n = 42) found a worse E.W most were women (n = 27, 64.3%). Data from this study support the theory that the E.W sits on a E.S appropriate. The evidence indicates that there are gender differences in the development of emotional competencies of women and men, and the need to plan an emotional education within the regular curriculum development is noted.
