The present study explored the relation between personal characteristics and romantic relationship satisfaction as mediated by communication. Couples in established heterosexual romantic relationships of at least 3 months (N = 96 couples) were recruited from an undergraduate population at a university through a Psychology Participant Pool System. It’s been hypothesized that there would be a relation between predicting variables — four of five-factor personality traits, emotional intelligence and self-disclosure — and relationship satisfaction as mediated by communication behaviours. Results indicate that for both genders, conscientiousness is related to one’s own relationship satisfaction which is mediated by communication. For females only, communication mediated the relation between emotional intelligence and her relationship satisfaction. For males and females, self-disclosure is related to both one’s own and one’s partner’s relationship satisfaction which is mediated by communication. Collectively, these results suggest that personal characteristics are related to communication which influences the relationship satisfaction of both members of a couple.

- This study aims to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence and resistance to change. Two hundred thirteen university students (mean age = 24.41, SD = 2.61) were administered the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) and the Resistance to Change Scale (RCS). It emerged that the Appraisal and expression of emotions dimension on the EIS is a better inverse predictor both of the Routine seeking dimension and the Emotional reaction to imposed change dimension on the RCS. These results provide a more in-depth look at the relationship between emotional intelligence and resistance to change within an Italian context, defining new areas for future research and intervention.Keywords: emotional intelligence, resistance to change, Italian context.Parole chiave: intelligenze emotiva, resistenza al cambiamento, contesto italiano.

This study examines the relationship between self-perceived emotional intelligence (EI) measured by the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) [1] and other personality measures including the five-factor-model. The EI construct has lately been re-defined as the ability to think intelligently about emotions and to use them to enhance intelligent thinking [2]. Two studies provide support that self-reported EI is mainly associated with personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, self-perceived creativity), life satisfaction and thinking styles with only a low relation to verbal intelligence. Furthermore, persons higher in the EI dimension “emotional efficacy” produced more creative performances than persons low in this domain. These findings suggest that self-reported EI cannot be considered as a rational form of intelligence so that it does qualify to fit into the framework of personality traits.
