Title: > Convergent and divergent validity of integrative versus mixed model measures of emotional intelligence > > Authors: > Webb, CA; Schwab, ZJ; Weber, M; DelDonno, S; Kipman, M; Weiner, MR; > Killgore, WDS > > Source: > *INTELLIGENCE*, 41 (3):149-156; MAY-JUN 2013 > > Abstract: > The construct of emotional intelligence (EI) has garnered increased > attention in the popular media and scientific literature. Several > competing measures of El have been developed, including self-report and > performance-based instruments. The current study replicates and expands > on previous research by examining three competing El measures > (Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test, MSCEIT; Bar-On > Emotion Quotient Inventory, EQ-i; and Self-Rated Emotional Intelligence > Scale, SREIS) and their relationships with cognitive functioning > (Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence; WASI), Big Five personality > traits (NEO-PI-R) and emotional well-being (Beck Depression Inventory, > BDI and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, PANAS). Results indicated > that significant variability in the self-report El measures was > accounted for by personality and emotional well-being measures, whereas > the MSCEIT was more strongly associated with IQ. Overall, nearly > two-thirds (62%) of the variance in EQ-i scores was accounted for by Big > Five personality traits, emotional well-being and full scale IQ; whe...
