Relationship between fundamental personality dimensions and emotional intelligence in people with psoriasis

This article discusses a current issue focused on identifying the interdependent relationship between fundamental personality dimensions and emotional intelligence in people with psoriasis. Psoriasis, being a chronic inflammatory skin disease, not only affects an individual’s physical appearance, but can also influence their emotional and psychological state. The analysis of the psychological aspects among adults with dermatological conditions is a relatively new area of research that continues to generate much controversy, so this paper contributes to a better understanding of the close link between dermatological conditions and the psychological component. Given the complexity of the mind-body interactions and the consequences of skin disease at the individual and societal levels, continued research is needed into the phenomenon from the perspective of its psychological repercussions.

Fundamental dimensions of personality and emotional intelligence in people with psoriasis (comparative study)

Research into the fundamental dimensions of personality and emotional intelligence in people with psoriasis is particularly current and important in conditions of high psychological morbidity among patients with skin diseases. The complexity of this topic lies in the large number of individual and contextual characteristics that influence the onset and progression of psoriasis. Emotional intelligence is a complex construct that takes center stage in the management of dermatology. Its role is particularly emphasized when we refer to the defense mechanisms of emotional conflict that can be activated through the perception, assimilation, understanding, and control of emotions.

PROTOCOL: Instruments for the evaluation of emotional intelligence in persons with hearing impairments: A scoping review.

This scoping review aims to identify and describe the instruments used to evaluate emotional intelligence in deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) persons. Emotional intelligence is a person's ability to work with emotions in response to a particular situation. Deafness or a hard of hearing has a negative effect on functioning in the field of emotional intelligence and leads to a specific approach to the diagnosis or evaluation of emotional intelligence. The scoping review will consider studies focused on persons who are deaf or hard of hearing at any age. The review will consider studies that feature existing instruments and the process of the evaluation of emotional intelligence in people with hearing disabilities. Relevant information will include the type, extent, and form of possible modification of specific instruments and approaches. Criteria for the exclusion of the study will be in terms of the target category being persons with a cochlear implant, psychiatric diagnoses, persons who have become deaf, and persons with multiple disabilities. The review will be conducted following the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. The databases to be searched include MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL Plus, ProQuest Central, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, Clinical Trials, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Google Scholar. The search for unpublished studies will include ProQuest Dissertations and Theses (ProQuest). Eligible studies will undergo data extraction by two independent reviewers using a tool created by the authors. Along with a narrative summary, the results will be presented in diagrammatic or tabular form.

FEATURES OF ADAPTABILITY AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE RATIO

Abstract. The article presents the results of an empirical study of the ratio of emotional intelligence and adaptability. Theoretical and empirical study of the problem revealed that emotional intelligence, which ensures the success of interpersonal interaction, can be considered as one of the indicators of adaptability and is an important property that ensures the success of adaptation. Emotional intelligence indicators have been found to be closely related to adaptive indicators, and these properties reinforce each other. The empirical part of the study was to study the relationship between indicators of emotional intelligence and indicators of personality adaptability, to identify the specifics of emotional intelligence in people with different levels of adaptability. An empirical study using valid and reliable psychodiagnostic tools revealed that there are individual differences in the manifestations of emotional intelligence in people with different levels of adaptability. The aces and profiles method found that there are differences in the manifestations of emotional intelligence in groups of people with different levels of adaptability. It is empirically established that a group of people with a high level of adaptability is generally characterized by a high level of emotional intelligence, while a group of people with a low level of adaptability demonstrates a low level of emotional intelligence. The use of the method of ranking indicators made it possible to establish the most significant manifestations of emotional intelligence in relation to adaptability. In general, the results of the study indicate that the phenomena studied function in a single phenomenological space and mutually reinforce each other.

Assessment of emotional intelligence in adults with down syndrome: Psychometric properties of the Emotional Quotient Inventory.

IntroductionThe Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth version-EQ-i:YV was developed by Bar-On & Parker in 2000 and later translated and adapted for the general Spanish adolescent population by Ferrandiz et al. in 2012. The Spanish scale presents similar psychometric properties to the original version (54 items and five subdimensions). The Emotional Quotient Inventory assesses a set of personal, emotional, and social skills that influence adaptation to and coping with environmental demands and pressures. These factors can influence an adolescent’s success later in life, health, and psychological well-being. Traditionally, research in Down syndrome (DS) has focused on identifying cognitive deficits, relatively little is known about emotional intelligence (EI) and there are no scales that measure EI in people with DS adults.ObjectivesTo validate and analyze the psychometric properties of the scale in the clinical population, specifically in Spanish adults with DS (EQ-i: SVDS).MethodsA cross-sectional investigation was carried out in several stages. Descriptive, exploratory factorial (n = 345), confirmatory (n = 397), and scale reliability analyses were performed with better goodness-of-adjustment indices.ResultsA new scale named Emotional Quotient Inventory: Short Version for DS adults was obtained with a structure of four factors called mood, stress management, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. This new scale was reduced to 25 items. Goodness-of-fit indices were excellent (RMSEA [95% CI] = 02[.01; .03]; CFI = .99; TLI = .98; GFI = .87; AGFI = .89). The internal consistency of the four dimensions and the calculated total score (α = .91, ω = .93 and divided halves = .90) yielded high values in this clinical sample.DiscussionThe results recommend the use of the revised EQ-i: YV, the EQ-i: SVDS, to assess EI in adults with DS. The psychometric properties of this study are satisfactory but have four factors. The findings are discussed in terms of future research and practical implication to gain a more thorough understanding of how this population behaves on both a general and preventive level in order to teach EI properly.ConclusionsThis new version is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate emotional intelligence in people with intellectual disabilities and specifically in Spanish adults with DS.

Associations of Personality Traits and Emotional Intelligence: Comparing Individuals in Rehabilitation from Drug Misuse, Occasional Users and Non-Users

Background: Personality traits and Emotional Intelligence abilities have gained a central place in the etiology of drug use, although understudied until recently. Objective: To examine the associations between personality traits and Emotional Intelligence in people that are in process of rehabilitation from drug misuse, to compare them with occasional users and non-users and to estimate the factors associated with the likelihood of drug misuse. Methods: 244 individuals (52.5% male) participated in the study. Sixty of them were suffering from drug misuse disorders, thirty-two were individuals that used drugs occasionally and 142 were non-users. Personality was assessed with the EPQ and Emotional Intelligence with the WEILS. Results: Results suggested that in drug misuse, emotional use and regulation are positively correlated with extraversion, and negatively correlated with neuroticism, whilst people that misuse drugs differ from occasional and non-users in emotional use and regulation, and in all personality traits except extraversion. Regression analyses proposed that a combination of sex, age, emotional regulation, and neuroticism contributes to the likelihood of a person abusing drugs, as opposed to occasional or no use. Conclusion: Our findings showcase that Emotional Intelligence and personality traits indeed play an important role in drug use, specifically when considering factors that protect from or drive towards misuse. Such results call for the implementation of preventive programs for occasional drug users and therapeutic interventions for people that misuse drugs, targeting the levels of neuroticism and enhancing the ability of regulating the negative emotions, to protect from drug misuse.

A critical literature review on emotional intelligence in addiction.

Emotional intelligence (EI) has been defined as the ability to perceive, understand, use and manage emotions. Studying EI could potentially be useful in understanding addictive behaviors as well as for designing and planning interventions. To conduct a critical review on EI impairment in addiction disorders. MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane, LILACS, and SciELO databases were searched. Articles that used the standardized Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) instrument to assess EI in people with addictions and healthy controls were selected for the review. We selected seven articles assessing EI and its associations with addiction disorders, mainly alcohol abuse and cocaine dependence. Most studies reported that individuals with addiction disorders had worse EI scores when compared to controls. Overall, the studies reviewed demonstrated that addictions are associated with EI deficits, compared to controls. However, aspects such as the small number of addictive disorders analyzed, methodological issues related to instruments for assessment of IE and the lack of follow-up remain significant limitations.

Особенности эмоционального интеллекта и внутрисемейных эмоциональных коммуникаций у лиц, совершивших сексуальные ООД

The article examines the characteristics of emotional intelligence and interfamily emotional communication for persons who have committed socially dangerous sexual acts. The sample included 82 male subjects. The experimental group consisted of 27 people undergoing compulsory treatment in Orel specialized psychiatric hospital and 25 mentally ill persons without criminal history undergoing treatment in the psychoneurological hospital, department of day care. The control group included 30 men, never held criminally liable, mentally healthy. Methodical complex includes two units: 1) study of emotional intelligence (Bulygin, Makurin, 2009; Bulygin, 2014); 2) study of family sphere (Bulygin, Parahoni, 2014). We hypothesized that: 1) patients with disorders of sexual preference has lower indicators of emotional intelligence in comparison with normal; 2) there are specific differences in the process of identifying the emotions between mentally ill persons with criminal history and without it; 3) individuals with disorders of sexual preference who have committed socially dangerous sexual acts have negative attitudes to the displaying of emotion in the parent family. The study identified specific violations of emotional intelligence in people with mental disorders of different nosology, committed and not committed socially dangerous sexual acts. The latter have special peculiarities of parent families.
