Will the real emotional intelligence please stand up? On deconstructing the emotional intelligence "debate" (2003, background): “Many other measures, particularly the more popular, commercial ones such as the BarOn Eq-i (1997) and Goleman and colleagues’ measure, the Emotional Competence Inventory (Boyatzis, Goleman, & Rhee, 2000) sample a broad range of individual differences and as such, tend to show quite substantial overl”
Emotional intelligence, moral reasoning and transformational leadership (2002, methodology): “In particular, the mean scores were subtracted from each observation; consistent with Aiken and West (1991), standard deviations were not adjusted.”
Job offers of multi-national accounting firms: the effects of emotional intelligence, extra-curricular activities, and academic performance (2005, methodology): “The reliability and validity of this EQ-i inventory have been supported in a study by Dawda and Hart ( 2000 , p.”
Trait emotional intelligence, psychological well‐being and peer‐rated social competence in adolescence (2007, methodology): “In line with related research on adults (e.g. Dawda & Hart, 2000; Martinez-Pons, 1997), we found that adolescents who perceive themselves as being in touch with their emotions and able to regulate them tend to report less depression and physical pain.”
Emotional Intelligence: A Theoretical Overview and Implications for Research and Professional Practice in Sport Psychology (2007, background): “Review of these convergent and discriminant validity data suggest that many items on the EQ-i pertain to personality attributes (eg, optimism, emotional stability) ( Brackett & Mayer, 2001 ; Conte, 2005 ; Dawda & Hart, 2000 ), so much so that it has been suggested that EI as conceptualized by Bar-”
Androgyny, Gender Role Behavior, and Emotional Intelligence Among College Students and Their Parents (2003, background): “Indeed the Bar-On scales are well-correlated with normal-range personality measurements and some clinical measures such as alexithymia ( Dawda & Hart, 2000; Parker, Taylor, & Bagby, 2001).”
The Case for Emotional Literacy: The influence of emotional intelligence on problem behaviours in Malaysian secondary school students (2003, background): “…intelligence have been found to be associated with lower levels of empathy and the inability to manage moods (Ciarrochi et al., 2000), higher levels of alexithymia (Parker et al., 2001), as well as higher levels of depression, neuroticism, somatic symptomatology, and stress (Dawda & Hart, 2000).”
A review and critique of emotional intelligence measures. (2005, methodology): “With respect to discriminant validity, the EQ-i correlated 0.12 with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Bar-On, 2000), and the average correlation between the EQ-i and the Big Five personality measures was approximately 0.50 ( Dawda & Hart, 2000 ).”
Predicting psychological health: assessing the incremental validity of emotional intelligence beyond personality, Type A behaviour, and daily hassles (2005, background): “Nonetheless, these findings extend previous research demonstrating a relationship between EI and well-being and psychological health outcomes (Bar-On, 1997; Dawda & Hart, 2000; Goleman, 1995).”
Emotional intelligence: A promise unfulfilled? (2012, neutral): “The MSCEIT in fact shows good divergence from other constructs, but it soon became apparent that questionnaire measures failed this test, showing correlations as high as 0.6–0.7 with personality traits, such as those of the Five Factor Model (Dawda & Hart, 2000).”
The impact of emotional intelligence on accuracy of self‐awareness and leadership performance (2011, positive): “The EQI, widely used in management development, has been shown to have reasonable levels of reliability, validity, and psychometric independence (Bar-On, 1997; Dawda and Hart, 2000).”
Social Anxiety, Emotional Intelligence, and Interpersonal Adjustment (2006, background): “Evidence is also accumulating for the association of EI with deficits in fundamental abilities likely essential to such outcomes, including identifying feelings in oneself and describing one’s feelings to others ( Dawda & Hart, 2000; Parker, Taylor, & Bagby, 2001), and interpersonal perception, inc”
Does emotional intelligence – as measured by the EQI – influence transformational leadership and/or desirable outcomes? (2006, positive): “The EQI has been extensively examined and shown to have reasonable levels of reliability, validity, and psychometric independence (Bar-On, 1996; Dawda and Hart, 2000).”
Emotional intelligence and its relationship to workplace performance outcomes of leadership effectiveness (2005, background): “Presumably, ability measures are more difficult to fake good, given that people do not know the “correct” answers ahead of time (Ciarrochi et al., 2000; MacCann et al., 2004; Dawda and Hart, 2000).”
