- (1)
- Teachers’ psychological control positively predicted frustration of each one of the psychological needs: Autonomy (β = 0.54, p < 0.001), competence (β = 0.63, p < 0.001), relatedness with others (β = 0.52, p < 0.01) and novelty (β = 0.33, p < 0.001).
- (2)
- Frustration of autonomy negatively predicted emotional intelligence (β = −0.41, p < 0.001); frustration of competence negatively predicted emotional intelligence (β = −0.52, p < 0.01); frustration of novelty negatively predicted emotional intelligence (β = −0.29, p < 0.001); and finally, frustration of relatedness with others negatively predicted emotional intelligence (β = −0.43, p < 0.001).
- (3)
- Emotional intelligence predicted meta-cognitive strategies (β = 0.60, p < 0.001) in a positive way.
