本研究对情绪智力（EI）结构（即感知、理解和管理情绪的能力）进行了批判性评估，该结构通过多因素情绪智力量表（MEIS，即将出版）进行测量。我们对澳大利亚的本科生施测了MEIS，同时还施测了一系列智商、人格以及其他理论上相关的标准测量，包括生活满意度和人际关系质量。我们还诱导学生产生情绪，并检验高情绪智力者在管理自身情绪以及防止情绪影响其社会判断方面是否优于其他人。分析表明，情绪智力与智商无关，但正如预期的那样，即使在控制了智商和人格特质后，它与特定的人格测量指标（如同理心）以及其他标准测量指标（如生活满意度）相关。情绪智力还与人们管理自身情绪的能力有关，但与防止情绪影响其判断的能力无关。令人惊讶的是，智商与这两种情绪过程都有关。结果表明，情绪智力结构具有独特性和实用性，但传统智商在理解情绪过程中可能也很重要。（C）2000年由爱思唯尔科学有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
This study critically evaluated the Emotional Intelligence (EI) construct (the ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions), as measured by the Multi-factor Emotional Intelligence Scale (MEIS in press). We administered the MEIS to Australian undergraduates along with a battery of IQ, personality, and other theoretically relevant criterion measures, including life satisfaction and relationship quality. We also induced moods in the students and examined whether people high in EI were better than others at managing their moods and preventing their moods from biasing their social judgments. Analyses revealed that EI was not related to IQ but was related, as expected, to specific personality measures (e.g., empathy) and to other criterion measures (e.g., life satisfaction) even after controlling for IQ and personality traits. EI was also related to people's ability to manage their moods, but not to their ability to prevent moods from biasing their judgments. IQ was surprisingly related to both these mood processes. The results suggest that the EI construct is distinctive and useful, but that traditional IQ may also be important in understanding emotional processes. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
