虽然理论家一再强调，情绪智力应该与关系质量，很少有实证研究系统地研究情绪智力在浪漫关系中使用适当的二元设计和分析。本研究探讨了情绪智力与关系质量（满意度，亲密度和承诺）之间的关系。研究1是在网上进行的，有191对异性恋夫妇。我们发现，一个人对关系质量的看法不仅取决于此人的情商，还取决于关系伴侣的情商。在研究2中，这些积极的演员和合作伙伴的情绪智力对关系满意度和亲密度的影响在实验室的80对夫妇的样本中复制。在这种情况下，夫妻参与了一场冲突讨论，实验者对伴侣的观点进行了评估。行动者-伙伴相互依赖中介模型表明，观点采择在情绪智力对关系质量的影响中起中介作用。本研究证实了情绪智力和关系质量之间的联系，并揭示了情绪智力影响浪漫关系质量的过程。版权所有© 2011约翰威利父子有限公司.
Although theorists have repeatedly emphasized that emotional intelligence should be linked to relationship quality, little empirical research has systematically examined emotional intelligence in romantic relationships using appropriate dyadic designs and analyses. The present research investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and aspects of relationship quality (satisfaction, closeness and commitment). Study 1 was conducted online with 191 heterosexual couples. We found that a person's perceptions of relationship quality were predicted not only by that person's emotional intelligence, but also by the relationship partner's emotional intelligence. In Study 2, these positive actor and partner effects of emotional intelligence on relationship satisfaction and closeness were replicated in a sample of 80 couples in the laboratory. In this context, couples engaged in a conflict discussion, and perspective taking of the partners was rated by the experimenter. Actor–Partner Interdependence Mediation Model showed that perspective taking mediated the effects of emotional intelligence on relationship quality. The present research confirmed the link between emotional intelligence and relationship quality and sheds light on the processes through which emotional intelligence affects the quality of romantic relationships.
