虽然大量的证据支持特质情绪智力作为幸福的积极指标，但特质情绪智力背后的过程仍然不清楚。情绪调节被认为是特质情绪智力的核心组成部分。鉴于情绪调节策略的后果在欧美和东亚人群之间存在差异，文化可以调节这些策略与特质情商之间的关联。两项研究探讨了在欧美和东亚日本人群中，文化是否调节了特质情绪智力和情绪调节策略之间的联系。结果显示，重要的文化相似性和差异之间的关联特质情绪智力和情绪调节。关于文化相似性，特质情商与两组的重新评价呈正相关。关于文化差异，特质情绪智力与欧美人的压抑呈负相关，但与日本人无关。这些研究结果与以下观点相一致，即情商高的人更有可能使用适应性策略，而不太可能使用适应不良策略来调节他们在自己的文化框架内的情绪。此外，目前的研究提供了新的见解，文化的调节作用的情绪调节过程中的特质情绪智力结构。
Although a large body of evidence supports trait emotional intelligence as a positive indicator of well-being, the processes that underlie trait emotional intelligence remain unclear. Emotion regulation is considered a core component of trait emotional intelligence. Given that the consequences of emotion regulation strategies differ between European-American and Eastern Asian populations, culture could moderate the association between these strategies and trait emotional intelligence. Two studies examined whether culture moderated the link between trait emotional intelligence and emotion regulation strategies in European-American and East Asian Japanese populations. The results revealed important cultural similarities and differences in the association between trait emotional intelligence and emotion regulation. Regarding cultural similarities, trait emotional intelligence was positively associated with reappraisal in both groups. With respect to cultural differences, trait emotional intelligence was negatively associated with suppression in European-American, but not Japanese, individuals. These findings are consistent with the notion that emotionally intelligent people are more likely to use adaptive strategies and less likely to use maladaptive strategies to regulate their emotion within their own cultural frameworks. Moreover, the current research provided novel insight into the moderating effect of culture on the emotion regulation process underlying the trait emotional intelligence construct.
