Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire

Abstract Introduction Lack of sleep has been associated with altered connectivity between the emotion-regulating regions of the medial prefrontal cortex and the emotionally reactive structure of the amygdala. This altered brain function following insufficient sleep is believed to impair a range of emotional perception and regulation capacities. Our prior research has also shown that two nights of total sleep deprivation led to significant declines in Trait Emotional Intelligence (TEI) and other aspects of emotional processing and perception. Nonetheless, the extent to which general sleep quality and acute sleep duration may contribute to everyday TEI outside of laboratory conditions remains unknown. We hypothesized that poorer sleep quality and the amount of sleep obtained the night before assessment would both predict TEI scores. Methods 447 adults (18–40 yrs; 72% female) completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a question about the number of hours of sleep obtained the night before the assessment (SLEEP), as well as the Petrides Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue). Sleep metrics were used to predict Total TEI, and the four TEIQue factors (Wellbeing, Self-Control, Emotionality, and Sociability) using multiple linear regression. Results Both PSQI (β=-.275, p<.00001) and SLEEP (β=.130, p<.00001) each contributed uniquely to prediction of Total TEI (R2=.11, p<.00001). Wellbeing was also predicted by a combination of PSQI (β=-.272, p<.00001) and SLEEP (β=.129, p=.006). In contrast, for Self-Control, only PSQI was significantly related (β=-.296, p<.00001). Both PSQI (β=-.131, p<.007) and SLEEP (β=.103, p<.034) each contributed to Emotionality. Finally, both PSQI (β=-.126, p<.010) and SLEEP (β=.107, p<.028) each contributed to Sociability. Conclusion Greater total TEI was uniquely predicted by a linear combination of 1) better general sleep quality over the past month and 2) greater quantity of sleep the night before the assessment session. The same pattern held for all scale factors, except Self-Control, which was only related to sleep quality over the past month. Although limited by the cross-sectional nature of the data, these findings support prior work suggesting that lack of sleep alters normal emotional processing and further suggests that both long-term sleep quality and acute restriction of sleep can affect trait-like emotional domains.

Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire

Zusammenfassung. In der vorliegenden Studie wurden die Emotionale Intelligenz und das Führungsverhalten von Trainern erhoben. Insgesamt 215 Fußballtrainer bearbeiteten die deutsche Kurzversion des Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue-SF; Freudenthaler, Neubauer, Gabler, Scherl & Rindermann, 2008 ) und die Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS; Würth, Saborowski & Alfermann, 1999 ). Neben der inhaltlichen Auseinandersetzung mit der Emotionalen Intelligenz und dem Führungsverhalten von Trainern werden die eingesetzten Verfahren einer kritischen Prüfung unterzogen. Die Prüfung der Testgüte für die vorliegende Stichprobe zeigt akzeptable interne Konsistenzen für den TEIQue und für zwei Subskalen der LSS (Demokratisches Verhalten und Soziale Unterstützung) Trainer der verschiedenen Lizenzstufen unterscheiden sind in ihrer selbstberichteten Emotionalen Intelligenz nicht voneinander. Für die Gesamtstichprobe werden Zusammenhänge zwischen Emotionaler Intelligenz und allen Subskalen (soziale Unterstützung, fachliche Unterweisung, demokratisches Verhalten und positives Feedback) der LSS gefunden. Die Diskussion nimmt sich der Einschätzung der verwendeten Messverfahren an und hebt die Bedeutung von sportspezifischen Instrumenten hervor.

Lack Of Sleep

Nurses have long working hours with high psychological burdens. In addition, in the emergency department, nurses are required to quickly adapt emotionally. The aim of this study was to describe and relate emotional intelligence (EI) skills of emergency nurses, their body mass index (BMI) and sleep quality. For this purpose, a cross-sectional was carried out in which the perceived emotional intelligence test and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index were applied. Sixty-two emergency nurses (48 women and 14 men) participated. The results indicated that the majority of them present adequate levels of EI, with no differences by gender. Younger nurses showed a better ability to feel, express and understand emotional states than the older ones, while the ability to regulate emotional states occurred in the opposite way. Nurses who have been working for several years showed a better ability to regulate emotions than those with less experience. Those who were overweight grade II and obese type I expressed their feelings better, also the regulation of emotional states decreased as weight increased. Finally, it has been observed that the quality of sleep of emergency nurses is significantly altered, and that this lack of sleep may affect their ability to process emotions.

Depression is a major co-morbidity in patients with inflammatory arthritides. In addition to the inflammatory processes, factors like pain, quality of life and trait emotional intelligence or the awareness on one's emotion and the ability to regulate these effectively may be associated with the presence of depression in this population.AimsThe aims of the present study were to determine the rates of depression in patients with psoriatic (PsA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) attending a tertiary referral centre, and to investigate possible factors that are associated with depression in this population.MethodsInterim data pertaining to depression (HADS), pain (British Pain Society Pain scale), quality of life (EuroQoL), physical function (HAQ-DI), inflammation (CRP) and emotional intelligence (Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire - TEIQue-SF) were analysed from data from 100 patients (50 PsA and 50 RA).ResultsUpto 30% of patients with PsA and RA were found to be depressed. Similarly, upto 25% of patients with PsA and RA fulfilled the criteria for caseness on the HADS A subscale.None of these patients were on therapeutic doses of an antidepressant. There was significant correlation between depression scores and scores on quality of life, disability and emotional intelligence. Together, they explained almost 50% of the variance in depression scores.ConclusionThe prevalence of depression is high in people with inflammatory arthritides. Disability, Quality of life and trait emotional intelligence seems to be important factors associated with inflammation and presence of depression in this population.

Psychological Well Being

Given the increase of mental health problems in youth, focusing on the promotion of psychological well-being is essential. Among the variables recognized as linked to children’s psychological well-being, trait emotional intelligence, emotional self-efficacy and coping seem to be crucial, whereas the role played by intelligence is still controversial. In the present study, we explored the combined effects of these variables, aimed at disentangling their unique contribution to psychological well-being of 74 children (41 males, mean age: 9.03 years). We administered verbal and reasoning tests as intelligence measures and self-report questionnaires to assess trait emotional intelligence, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, coping styles, psychological well-being. Correlations revealed two independent clusters of variables: a first cluster including intelligence indexes and a second cluster including psychological well-being, trait emotional intelligence, regulatory emotional self-efficacy and adaptive coping styles. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that only trait emotional intelligence and positive restructuring coping style significantly contributed to psychological well-being. This study highlights that, unlike general intelligence, trait emotional intelligence was associated to psychological well-being, whereas coping styles play a negligible role in explaining this relationship. These findings are valuable in identifying the most relevant factors for children’s adjustment and in enhancing emotion-related aspects in interventions for psychological well-being promotion.
