The Bar-On model of emotional-social intelligence (ESI). (2006, methodology): “When the findings related to the EQ-i are compared with the actual degree of domain overlap between ability-based measures of ESI and tests of cognitive intelligence as well as personality (Van Rooy & Viswesvaran, 2004; Van Rooy et al., 2004 ), the accuracy, meaningfulness and usefulness of dichoto”
Emotional Intelligence: What Does the Research Really Indicate? (2006, background): “Van Rooy, Viswesvaran, and Pluta (2005) conducted a meta-analysis that provides further support for the claim that EI is distinct from either IQ or personality.”
Emotional intelligence: A promise unfulfilled? (2012, unknown): “Two meta-analyses have concluded that ability tests are only minimally related to questionnaire assessments of EI (Joseph & Newman, 2010; Van Rooy et al., 2005).”
A comprehensive meta-analysis of the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and health (2010, methodology): “However, given that in their latest meta-analysis Van Rooy et al. (2005) reported a .34 correlation between EI measured as a trait and personality, the question remains as to the incremental validity of EI measures beyond other predictors, especially within the trait EI approach.”
Emotional Intelligence, its Measurement and Implications for the Workplace (2008, background): “While the validity and efficacy of EI has been scrutinized within the psychology literature (Law 2004; van Rooy et al. 2005; Zeidner et al. 2004), in the main, such reviews have focused on test construction and related psychometric properties.”
Ability emotional intelligence, trait emotional intelligence and academic success in British secondary schools (2012, background): “In addition, Joseph and Newman (2010) found the correlation between self-report (trait) EI measures and performance-based (ability) EI measures to be low enough to suggest two distinct constructs, which supports evidence from earlier meta-analyses (O'Boyle, Humphrey, Pollack, Hawver, & Story, 2010; ”
