Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire--Adolescent Short Form
PsycTESTS Dataset, 2012
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.

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.

This article analyses the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and academic performance, controlling for the effects of IQ, personality, and self-concept dimensions. A sample of 290 preadolescents (11-12 years old) took part in the study. The instruments used were (a) Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Adolescents Short Form (TEIQue-ASF); (b) Children's Personality Questionnaire (CPQ; Form A, Part A); (c) IQ test TIDI-2; (d) Adaptation Questionnaire (CAI-1); and (e) academic performance. A positive and significant correlation coefficient between trait EI measured by the TEIQue-ASF and general academic performance was found. The TEIQue-ASF showed incremental validity to predict general academic performance, after controlling for intelligence, personality, and self-concept characteristics.
Gender differences in trait emotional intelligence: A comparative study
Business Review, 2012
The objective of present study is to determine the difference between male and female on the variable of trait emotional intelligence. After the detailed literature review the following hypothesis was formulated; There would be a difference between males and females on the variable of trait emotional intelligence. The sample consisted of 100 university students. The entire sample divided into two groups. The sample consisted of 100 university students, recruited from University of Karachi, including 51(51%) males and 49 (49 %) females. The age range of both groups were from 18 to 30 years (Mean age =23.78 years) with males (Mean Age = 24.18 years) and female (Mean Age = 23.37 years) and minimum educational level was intermediate (12 th class) and highest education was Maters (16 th Class). The measures used in the research included, Personal Information Form and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire by (Petrides & Furnham, 2003) that was administered to measure the trait emotional intelligence. 't' test for independent sample was calculated to determine the difference of trait emotional intelligence between males and females in statistical terminology. The results showed a significant difference between males and females on the variable of trait emotional intelligence t(98) = 2.773, p <0.01. The analysis showed that the male participants demonstrated higher level of emotional intelligence as compared to females.

This study tested the concurrent validity of the short-form version of the trait emotional intelligence questionnaire (TEIQue-SF) against the long-form version (TEIQue-LF), and the construct validity of each questionnaire. In total, 1889 Spanish adults (935 women, 954 men; mean age = 21.56 years, age range = 18-37 years) completed the TEIQue-SF and TEIQue-LF, the order of which was counterbalanced across participants. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the 4-factor structure of both the short-form and long-form versions, with marginally stronger factor loadings observed for the long-form. Bivariate correlations demonstrated a high degree of similarity in scoring on the TEIQue-SF and TEIQue-LF for each subscales and the global trait emotional intelligence (EI): well-being (r = 0.76), self-control (r = 0.69), emotionality (r = 0.78), sociability (r = 0.71), and global trait EI (r = 0.83). Overall, findings indicate that the TEIQue-SF is a viable alternative to the TEIQue-LF for research in time-restricted conditions where the completion of long questionnaires might be unfeasible.

Abstract This paper sets out the theoretical foundation of emotional intelligence (EI) as a constellation of traits and self-perceived abilities. The discriminant validity of trait EI is explored in two studies. In study 1 (N= 227), the psychometric properties of the BarOn Emotional Quotient inventory were scrutinized through confirmatory factor analysis and the measure was found to be unifactorial. When the EQ-i was examined concurrently with the Eysenck Personality Profiler, a clear trait EI factor emerged in Eysenckian factor space.

The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian adaptation of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF). In a sample of 512 participants, we tested model fit by bifactor Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM), followed by measurement invariance testing against UK and Chilean datasets of the measure. The Big Five Mini-Markers, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Subjective Happiness Scale were also administered as external validation measures. We obtained the following results: (a) final adequate bifactor ESEM model fit; (b) a significantly higher global trait EI mean for men (d ¼ .27); (c) high internal consistency for global trait EI (a ¼ .88), in spite of lower Cronbach's a values at the factor level (.60À.85); (d) high correlation (r ¼ .89) in the test-retest; (e) significant correlation between global trait EI and most of the Big Five dimensions (r ¼ À.66À.46), life satisfaction (.59) and happiness (.68); (f) evidence of incremental validity of trait EI for life satisfaction and happiness over and above the Big Five; (g) equivalent measurement across the Brazilian, UK and Chilean versions of the TEIQue-SF. We conclude that the Brazilian TEIQue-SF is psychometrically sound and can be recommended for research and practical use.
