Abstract
Emotional Intelligence and Personality and Implicit Aggression
Highlights
One single universal definition of Emotional Intelligence (EI) is still being debated over decades [1], its necessity of a modest relationship with personality is widely accepted [2,3]
The original measure of the Multifactor Emotional Intelligence Scale (MEIS) [36] is a multi-factor intelligence measure which assess four areas of EI: (a) emotional identification (4 tests: Faces, Music, Designs, and Stories); (b) assimilating emotions (2 tests: Synestheisa and Feeling Biases); (c) understanding emotions (4tests: Blends, Progressions, Transitions, and Relativity); and (d) managing emotions (2 tests: Others and the Self).In the present study we only focused on understanding based on progressions and managing emotions of others and self
On the Emotional Intelligence scale, understanding emotion and management of emotion of others showed a high magnitude of correlation (r = .498, p < .01), there was no significant association between managing self and others’ emotions
Summary
One single universal definition of Emotional Intelligence (EI) is still being debated over decades [1], its necessity of a modest relationship with personality is widely accepted [2,3]. One of the essentials of EI tests is a modest positive relationship with personality. From the most popular personality trait model, the Big Five some argued that openness to experience needs to be the strongest dimension in a relation with EI, while in Dawda and Hart’s [4] study, the dimension of openness to experience had the lowest association with EI. Some studies showed positive associations between extraversion and emotional stability, and EI [5,6]. A recent study by Joseph and Newman’s [7] cascading models demonstrates that neuroticism is only a moderator: emotion perception needs to come before emotion understanding, and the emotion understanding should precede emotion regulation.
