Trauma and Coping among University Students: Exploring Emotional Intelligence Applications on Coping with Trauma

Die Studienphase ist eine kritische Phase
im Leben von Heranwachsenden, in der
sie neben fachlichen auch emotionale und
soziale Kompetenzen weiterentwickeln
müssen. Allgemein machen zahlreiche Heranwachsende
traumatische Erfahrungen,
die jedoch nicht erkannt oder behandelt
werden. Studienanfänger sind dabei mit
einigen spezifischen Problemsituationen
wie Schikanen durch ältere Studierende,
Mobbing, Abwertung und Orientierungslosigkeit
konfrontiert. Weil sich solche
traumatischen Erfahrungen negativ auf
ihr persönliches und akademisches Leben
auswirken können, ist eine Identifikation
dieser traumatisierten Studierenden von
höchster Wichtigkeit, um sie durch effektive
Rehabilitationsmaßnahmen zu einem
gelingenden sozialen Leben und akademischen
Leistungen befähigen zu können.
Die hier vorgestellte Studie widmet sich
der Untersuchung der Rolle der Emotionalen
Intelligenz für Copingstrategien
von Heranwachsenden mit traumatischen
Erfahrungen. Die kulturvergleichend angelegte
Studie untersucht dazu jeweils 100
Universitätsstudierende niedriger Semester
aus Deutschland und Sri Lanka. / University education is an important stage
of students’ academic life. Therefore, all students
need to develop their competencies to
attain the goal of passing examinations and
also to developing their wisdom related to
scientific knowledge they gathered through
their academic life. Life in universities is a
critical period for individuals as it is a foot
step to acquiring the emotional and social
qualities in their social life. There are many
adolescents who have been affected by
traumatic events during their life span but
have not been identified or treated. More
specifically, there are numerous burning
issues within first year university students,
namely, ragging done by seniors to juniors,
bullying, invalidation and issues related to
attitudes changes and orientation. Those
factors can be traumatic for both their academic
and day to day life style. Identifying
the students who are with emotional damages
and their resiliency afterwards the
traumas and effective rehabilitation from
the traumatic events is immensely needed
in order to facilitate university students for
their academic achievements and social life
within the University education. This study
tries to figure out the role of Emotional
Intelligence for developing coping strategies
among adolescents who face traumatic
events. Late adolescence students recently
enrolled at University (Bachelor students/
first year students) will be selected as sample.
The study is to be conducted in a cross
cultural manner comparing 100 students
each from Germany and Sri Lanka.
