The study examined reliability and validity of a new measure of emotional (i.e. non-cognitive) intelligence, the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i; , in a sample of 243 university students. Results indicated that the EQ-i domain and component scales had good item homogeneity and internal consistency. Scores were not unduly aected by response styles or biases. The EQ-i scales had a meaningful pattern of convergent validities with respect to measures of normal personality, depression, somatic symptomatology, intensity of aective experience and alexithymia. The reliability and validity results for men and women were very similar. Overall, the results suggested that the EQ-i is a promising measure of emotional intelligence. We recommend strategies for further validation of the EQ-i, as well as the construct of emotional intelligence. #

Background: In Greek scientific literature, no other studies using emotional intelligence as a personal trait were found. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the validity and reliability of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form in a Greek educational context. The internal consistency as well as the levels of emotional intelligence, along with the gender as a factor that differentiates emotional intelligence have also been examined. Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 306 (for exploratory factor analysis) and 415 (for confirmatory factor analysis) students who attended the 7 th , 8 th , and 9 th grades of high school. The selection of the sample was randomly performed. The scale consists of 30 questions and four factors. The statistical analysis of the data included descriptive statistics, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis using Cronbach's α and discriminant/ convergent validity, and t-test for independent samples. Results: The results of the confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the hypothesized model produced a significant χ 2 (1026.58), normed fit index (.96) and comparative fit index (.97). The root mean square error of approximation (.78) was also considered to assess the degree extent to which the model of fit of. Composite reliability (≥ .948) and average variance extracted (≥ .751) of all dimensions of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form demonstrated an acceptable reliability coefficient. Conclusions: From the analysis of the results, we came to the following conclusions. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form constitutes an instrument credible enough to measure the emotional intelligence of high school male and female students. Gender is a differentiation factor for Total emotional intelligence, Self-control, and Well-being factors.

This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Greek version of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF). For this evaluation, 602 adults (M = 34 years of age, SD = 10.96) completed the TEIQue-SF, the Traits Personality Questionnaire (TPQue5), the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The internal consistency of the TEIQue-SF was satisfactory for the factors and excellent for the total score. Statistically significant correlations between the TEIQue-SF and the TPQue5 and between the SHS and the SWLS constituted evidence of its convergent validity with cognate constructs. In addition, trait EI accounted for a significant amount of the variance in happiness and life satisfaction over and above the Big Five, showing evidence supporting incremental validity in relation to the Big Five personality dimensions. The results indicate that the Greek translation of TEIQue-SF is reliable and valid, and can be recommended for use with Greek samples.
Adaptation of an emotional intelligence scale for Turkish educators1
emotional intelligence scale was adapted and administered to 177 Turkish educators. Confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses were performed. In order to confirm the authors' model and findings of previous research, one, two, three, and four factor models were examined. It was decided that the one factor model fitted the data better for the selected sample. In addition, gender, age, and job experience of the participants were also investigated in conjunction with their emotional intelligence scores. However, the emotional intelligence scores did not differ for any of these variables. Male and females scored similarly. Also, it was revealed that emotional intelligence scores of the participants did not differ as their age and job experience increases.

This paper aims to investigate the reliability and validity of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Adolescent Short Form 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 selfevaluations. 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.
The aim of this research is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish Version of the Three-Branch Emotional Intelligence Rating Scale (EIRS; Anguiano-Carrasco, MacCann, Geiger, Seybert, and Roberts, 2015). Participants were 325 university students. The results of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the 18 items loaded on three factors (Perception, Understanding and Management) and the three-dimensional model was well fit (x²=357.85, df=132, RMSEA=.0073, NFI=.93, NNFI=.94, CFI=.95, IFI=.95, RFI=.91, AGFI=.86 and SRMR=.074). The internal consistency coefficients were .75 for perception subscale, .86 for understanding subscale, .77 for management subscale and .85 for the overall scale. The corrected item-total correlations of EIRS ranged from .20 to .61. Overall findings demonstrated that this scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring individuals’ tendencies to emotional intelligence.
Psicometric Properties of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQe) in Turkish
Current Psychology, 2017
The present study focused on the translation of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) to the Turkish speaking people. The TEIQue was completed by 500 undergraduate students created from two different sample. Study followed two step as linguistic equivalence and validity-reliability analyses. Psychometric analysis provided evidence in support of the reliability of the TEIQue (at the facet, factor, and global levels) and the confirmed four-factor structure (Well-Being, Sociability, Self-Control, and Emotionality). This solution accounted for 66.3% of the total variance, and factor loading was .493-816. With regard to CFA and internal consistency of four factors and Global TEIQue, the Turkish version showed acceptable psychometrics and was in concordance with the original version. This study also found significant sex differences among factors and Global TEI. Female participants had higher scores on Wellbeing, Emotionality, and Global TEI. TEIQue would contribute as the base for further studies, and literature by adding data from Turkey.
Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the French Version of the Emotional Intelligence Inventory
L'Encéphale, 2008
In the context of the increasing interest in the study and assessment of emotional abilities in psychology, we translated into French and evaluated the construct validity of the emotional intelligence inventory (EII) designed in English [Psychol Rep; 88 (2001):353-64]. This self-rating scale is modelled along the theoretical constructs of the Mayer, Caruso and Salovey's model [Intelligence; 27 (1999):267-98]; it comprises 41 items tapping the four following factors: (1) empathy; (2) utilization of feelings, (3) handling relationships and; (4) self-control. One thousand three hundred and thirty-five students (42.7% men) with a mean age of 19.6 years and affiliated to several school and faculties participated to this Belgian interuniversity study. They were administered the French version of the EII, as well as a series of related questionnaires. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were applied to these data and various fit indices examined in order to assess the factorial adjustme...
