While previous studies have examined individual predictors of PIU, the role of teachers' emotionally intelligent behaviors (TEIB) in mitigating PIU remains unexplored. Objective: This research aims to examine the underlying mechanisms in the link between TEIB and PIU through a serial mediation model involving teacher-student relationships (TSR) and stress in two independent studies. Methods: Two studies with Spanish adolescents were conducted: a cross-sectional study (N = 1,966) and a 9-month prospective study (N = 517). TEIB, TSR, stress symptoms (Study 1), perceived stress (Study 2), and PIU were assessed. Results: In both studies, TEIB was positively associated with TSR and negatively associated with stress and PIU. The serial mediation path was significant: TEIB predicted higher TSR, which in turn was linked to lower stress levels, thereby reducing PIU. In Study 1, both simple and serial mediation effects were significant, whereas in Study 2, only the serial mediation effect was supported. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of teachers' emotionally intelligent behaviors in reducing students’ PIU. Schools should consider implementing emotional skills training programs for teachers to foster supportive teacher-student relationships and promote healthier online behaviors among adolescents. Finally, school-based recommendations for teachers to prevent adolescents from PIU are suggested in the light of our findings. 2025-05-27T10:07:33Z 2025-05-27T10:07:33Z 2025-05-27T10:07:33Z 2025-05-26 dataset https://hdl.handle.net/10630/38749 10.24310/riuma.38749 eng info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/MCIN-AEI/ProyectosI+D+i_Retos_2020/PID2020-117006RB- I00/ES/ProgramaMEET_EducacionEmocionalTIC/MEET open access For DATASET_Cross-sectional_TEIB_PIU: Cross-sectional data For DATASET_Prospective_TEIB_PIU: 9 months between T1 and T2 Universidad de Málaga
