Resumen

En este estudio se analizó el desarrollo de las diferentes dimensiones de la inteligencia emocional durante un curso escolar y transversalmente entre los seis cursos analizados en una muestra de 484 adolescentes de ambos sexos, entre 1º de ESO y 2º de Bachiller, a quienes se administró la versión en castellano del Emotional Quotient Inventory: Young Version Short (Caraballo y Villegas, 2001). Coincidiendo con el grueso de la investigación previa, los resultados indican que, salvo en lo que respecta a la dimensión manejo del estrés en la muestra femenina, el resto de dimensiones de la inteligencia emocional no experimenta cambios sustantivos en relación con la edad.
