consistently emerged as a predictor of internalized disorders, whereas peer rejection, unpopularity, and social withdrawal are general causes of depression and isolated loneliness.
Conclusion
The capacity to perceive and internalize the vast uncertainties and possibilities of the world potentiates the onset of manifestation of various psychological challenges. As noted, Ruth Karpinski et al. suggests that individuals with high intelligence have tendencies for intellectual overexcitabilities and hyper-reactivity, which – while aiding in creative capacities – can lead to depression and poor mental health. Their unique heightened way of experiencing the world can often lead to increased rumination and worry–undoubtedly increasing vulnerability to major depressive disorders and symptom severity. On the other hand, Dr. Nicholas Pediaditakis recognizes temperament as a significant role when considering the relationship between intelligence and mental health; that there exists a major variation from the norm of inborn temperament in the population of highly intelligent individual. These individuals, as Pediatakis notes, share a rather skewed temperament with those who are most vulnerable to major psychological disorders–and if a major disorder is to develop the individual’s preexisting skewed traits manifest as premorbid personality. Although these studies demonstrate a strong correlation between higher levels of intelligence and mental illness, there exists an association between low emotional intelligence and anxiety–particularly in the inter- and intrapersonal domains. Researchers Laura Summerfeldt and Stella Mavroveli both analyze the concept of emotional intelligence as it relates to social anxiety, noting that social skill deficits and distorted cognitive appraisals of the self and social interactions are a result of issues involving interpersonal competencies. Ultimately, the relationship between intelligence and emotional functioning largely remains unchartered territory.
