Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire

This study investigates the need for cognition and trait emotional intelligence of higher secondary students and their relationship to academic achievement. This study also examined the effect of some demographic variables like gender, locale, medium of instruction, order of birth of students on the chosen variables. The study employed a survey method for data collection. The sample comprised 313 (150 boys and 163 girls) higher secondary school students. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-short form (TEIQue–SF; Petrides, 2009) and Need for Cognition Scale (Cacioppo et al., 1984) were used for the study. The results revealed that boys and girls are similar in their need for cognition and trait emotional intelligence. Also, girls outperformed boys academically. Results also show that trait emotional intelligence has a significant effect on academic achievement. There is also a statistically significant relationship between the need for cognition and trait emotional intelligence.

Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire

The psychometric properties of the French version of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire–Child Short Form (TEIQue-CSF) were investigated in a sample of 556 children 9 to 13 years of age. The internal consistency and temporal stability were satisfactory. A significant difference for gender, but not for age, was observed. With regard to the factor structure, the best fit was found for a two-factor solution, emotion control and socioemotionality. Regarding convergent validity, positive correlations were found with the total and all except one-factor scores of the Emotion Awareness Questionnaire score (EAQ30). Evidences of concurrent validity were demonstrated, with negative correlations with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) and childhood anxiety sensitivity index (CASI). Results also showed a positive correlation with Children’s Social Desirability Scale (CSD). In conclusion, these findings provide additional support for the use of the TEIQue-CSF for researchers and practitioners who want to assess emotion-related constructs in children.

The Impact

Abstract Objective: To compare the impact of trait emotional intelligence between students of different faculties and associated factors. Methods: the cross-sectional analytical study was conducted from August 2016 to March 2017 at the University of Faisalabad, Faisalabad, Pakistan, and comprised trait undergraduate students, both boarders and day scholars, from seven different faculties. Data was collected using the trait emotional intelligence questionnaire–short form. Student’s yearly test scores were obtained as a measure of academic achievement. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. Results: Of the 498 students, 109(21.9%) were studying medicine, 56(11.2%) dental sciences, 76(15.2%) optometry, 83(16.6%) nutrition and dietetics, 109(21.9%) physiotherapy, 35(7%) pharmacy, and 30(6%) social sciences. The overall mean age was 19.84±1.30 years. There were 210(42.2%) boarders compared to 288(57.8%) day scholars. There was significant difference in emotional intelligence based on student’s faculty (p<0.0001). Significant impact was seen on test scores of faculty residing status (p<0.05). Significant relation of emotional quotient and residing status with student’s test scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Emotional intelligence was found to be an important factor in academic achievement and important variable in different faculties and different living conditions.

The Relationship

The present study tried to examine the relationship between academic achievement and emotional intelligence, blocking the influence of academic motivation on the relationship in secondary school students. Sample for the study includes 49 students (25 girls and 24 boys) from VIIIth and IXth classes of a secondary school in Sriram Nagar, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The data for measuring Emotional intelligence is collected by using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire – Adolescent Short Form (TEIQue-ASF), prepared by Petrides, K. V. & Furnham, A. (2006) for adolescents. The data for measuring academic motivation is collected using Academic Motivation Scale, High School Version (AMS-HS 28) for high school students prepared by Vallerand and et.al (1992). Academic achievement of the students is measured by collecting the students' grade point average in a summative assessment. For data analysis, Pearson's Product Moment and Partial Correlations are used. The significance of the test is calculated by using t-test formula for partial correlation for the level of significance α at 0.05. The findings of the study reveal that the influences of academic motivation on the relationship between academic achievement and emotional intelligence in secondary school students, cannot be ignored.

This article aims to investigate the reliability and validity of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire–Adolescent Short Form (TEIQue-ASF) score in a sample of 440 Greek adolescents. The instrument’s score demonstrated good internal consistency and was significantly correlated with core self-evaluations as well with somatic complaints, self-report psychopathology, and personal strengths. It also explained a statistically significant increase in the prediction of outcome variables beyond core self-evaluations. It is concluded that the findings of the present study provide evidence that support the interpretation and use of the TEIQue-ASF score to assess the emotional self-perceptions of Greek adolescents.

Son escasos los estudios que analizan la relación entre conducta agresiva e inteligencia emocional. Este estudio examina la relación entre inteligencia emocional rasgo y los componentes motor (agresividad física y agresividad verbal), cognitivo (hostilidad) y afectivo/emocional (ira) de la conducta agresiva. El Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Adolescents Short Form (TEIQue-ASF) y el Aggression Questionnaire Short version (AQ-S) fueron administrados a una muestra de 314 adolescentes (52.5% chicos) de 12 a 17 años. Los resultados indicaron que los adolescentes con altas puntuaciones en conducta agresiva física, verbal, hostilidad e ira presentaron puntuaciones significativamente más bajas en inteligencia emocional rasgo que sus iguales con puntuaciones bajas en conducta agresiva física, verbal, hostilidad e ira. Este patrón de resultados fue el mismo tanto para la muestra total como para chicos, chicas y los grupos de edad de 12-14 años y 15-17 años. Además, en la mayoría de los casos se hallaron tamaños del efecto grandes apoyando la relevancia empírica de estas diferencias.
