Description

In this research we have examined conjointly both approaches for a person-centered perspective to try to know how employability affect emerging adults' well-being. The sample were recruited in 2015, in a context of economic crisis. Our research also includes a focus on resilience and emotional intelligence as important skills that could facilitate finding a job. Method: 1502 undergraduates who were emerging adults (Mage= 20.32; SDage= 2.13; 60.1% women) from the Transition to Adulthood in Spain project (TAE). The measures were Self-perveived Employability, Brief Resilience Scale, DAS Scale, Ryff Wellbeing Scale and Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale. A K-meas cluster analysis, Chi-squared test (Crammer's V and adjusted standardized residuals were calculated) and ANOVA was conducted. Conclusions: People that perceive themselves as employable perceive that they have personal skills such as resilience and emotional intelligence, that these promote well being and are a protective factor for general distress.
