The trait Emotional Intelligence (trait E.I.) construct shifted the interest in personality research to the investigation of the effect of global personality characteristics on behaviour. In this article the role of personality traits in the occurrence of emotional and behavioural strengths and difficulties was investigated. Five hundred fifty-nine students aged 12-14 years, completed The Trait E.I. Questionnaire Adolescent Short Form, and The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Students with higher Trait E.I. were less likely to present emotional and behavioural difficulties and were more likely to present prosocial behaviour. The study describes potential predictors of students' emotional and behavioural strengths and difficulties and discusses the implications of the findings for educators.
