Resumen
This study examines the relationship between cultural dimensions, emotional intelligence (EI), resilience and subjective well-being. The sample was composed of 3419 participants. Two models were compared and the standardized estimated parameters and gender invariance were analyzed. Overall speaking, results indicated that: (1) The cultural dimension long-term orientation demonstrated the strongest relationship on EI dimensions; likewise, power distance and collectivisms positively predicted emotional repair; and power distance negatively predicted emotional attention; (2) Resilience was negatively predicted by uncertainty avoidance, while collectivism and long-term orientation emerged as positive predictors; (3) All three dimensions of EI predicted resilience; (4) Emotional attention emerged as a predictor of negative affect and life satisfaction, while emotional clarity and repair demonstrated predictive capacity for both positive and negative affect; (5) None of the indirect effects from EI dimensions to life satisfaction through resilience were statistically significant; (6) Individuals with high resilience tend to experience enhanced positive affect and life satisfaction, concomitant with diminished negative affect; (5) Individuals experiencing more positive affects report higher life satisfaction, whereas those experiencing more negative affects report lower life satisfaction; and (6) the structural relationships between EI, resilience, affect, and life satisfaction operate similarly for both genders.
