Relationship of Emotional Intelligence to Perceived Stress in Combined Master's of Science and Dietetic Internship Programs.

Background: Emotional intelligence (EI) is often studied with perceived stress in students in health professions fields such as nursing but not dietetics. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of EI to perceived stress in graduate dietetic students in Combined Master's of Science (MS) and Dietetic Internship (DI) programs.

Methods: EI and perceived stress were collected using the Schutte EI Scale and Perceived Stress Scale-10, respectively.

Purging and alcohol-related effects in college women.

Objective: Previous research indicates that college students who purge are more likely to consume alcohol in an unhealthy manner.

(b) Are 18-24-year-old alcohol-drinking college women who purge more likely to report greater negative consequences of alcohol use.
