The development of emotional intelligence and its influencing psychological factors among students majoring in english language teaching
Abstract:
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the psychological and social factors contributing to occupational stress among military personnel. It focuses on identifying key stressors, evaluating their impact on mental health and operational performance, and proposing effective stress management strategies.
Research methodology: A comprehensive mixed-methods approach was employed, combining theoretical analysis with empirical research. Data were collected through surveys, psychological tests (Holmes-Rahe Life Stress Inventory, COPE Inventory, Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), interviews, and observations involving 100 military personnel. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and thematic content analysis to explore the interrelation between psychological and social stress factors.
Results: Findings reveal that over 65% of military personnel experience moderate to high stress levels, with major stressors including organizational pressure, family separation, and strict disciplinary demands. Coping strategies varied, with many relying on avoidance and emotional withdrawal, while only a minority used problem-focused approaches. High levels of anxiety were prevalent, underscoring the need for enhanced psychological assistance and stronger social support systems. The study recommends implementing structured stress management programs, psychological counseling, and family engagement initiatives to mitigate occupational stress in military environments.
