This study examines the influence of emotional intelligence on anger in adolescents, using a sample of 300 high school students aged 12 to 18 years (M=14.9, SD=1.9). The Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) and the Dimensions of Anger Reactions Scale-5 (DAR-5) were used to measure the dimensions of emotional intelligence (attention, clarity, and emotional repair) and anger, respectively. The results of the structural equation modeling (χ2 = 604.676; df = 318; p = 0.000; CFI = 0.91; TLI = 0.90; SRMR = 0.05; RMSEA = 0.061 [90% CI: 0.053-0.068]) showed adequate fit indices. Additionally, it was shown that emotional attention and emotional clarity have a negative influence on anger, being significant only for emotional attention. However, emotional repair showed a significant negative relationship with anger. These findings underscore the need to revise educational and therapeutic strategies to improve emotional management in adolescents and reduce aggressive behaviors, promoting safer school environments.
