A cross-sectional survey research design was used to recruit both samples (n = 171 adolescent and n = 185 adult students). A set of psychological measures was administered to collect information regarding demographic variables, psychosocial stress, perceived social support, trait EI and positive religious coping. The results indicated a significant relationship among perceived social support, positive religious coping, trait EI and psychosocial stress. Moreover, it was found that the inverse relationship between trait EI and psychosocial stress was mediated fully by perceived social support. Our findings underscore valuable information for academics and the community of Pakistan as it provides awareness regarding trait EI and perceived social support as coping mechanisms while dealing with stressful situations.
