Experimental: IESA Program Intervention

Participants in this arm receive the IESA Program, a structured group intervention designed for first-year higher education students.

Sessions include structured group activities and guided reflection exercises that aim to develop four core emotional abilities: identifying, understanding, using, and managing emotions.

The IESA Program is a structured group intervention designed for first-year higher education students. It is based on the ability-based model of emotional intelligence (Mayer & Salovey, 1997) and focuses on developing four core emotional abilities: identifying, understanding, using, and managing emotions.

The program consists of ten weekly sessions, each lasting two hours. Sessions are delivered in a group format and include structured activities, interactive exercises, and guided reflection to engage students in applying emotional intelligence skills in personal, social, and academic contexts.

This intervention is distinct from other programs as it specifically targets first-year higher education students during their transition to university, operationalizes the ability-based model of emotional intelligence, and combines skill development with reflective group activities over a fixed ten-week period.

Kein Eingriff: Control Group
Participants in this arm are placed on a waiting list and do not receive the IESA Program during the study period. They continue with their usual educational activities and may participate in the IESA Program after the study ends. No additional interventions are provided during the waiting period.
