Multivariate Generalizability Theory

We modified the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) using multivariate generalizability theory (MGT), a measurement system in which the focus is on multiple universe scores within a specific generalization universe. Application of MGT comprises conducting a generalizability study to analyze and estimate the associations among various factors, the number of factors, and the initial measurement design process, as well as a decision study to explore changes in the generalized coefficient and reliability indices when the number of items in the measure is changed. We conducted a generalizability study with 210 students from Shanghai and Anhui Province China, and performed item analysis and exploratory factor analysis, then modified the scale using MGT to create a modified edition of the EIS and tested item and factor reliability and validity with another 1,339 students from Shanghai and Anhui Province. Results revealed better reliability and validity than the original EIS, with each factor making a more balanced contribution to the total variance. The modified Chinese EIS will be useful for future emotional intelligence research.

Acceptable Reliability

We evaluated the reliability and validity of Wong's Emotional Intelligence Scale (WEIS) – a forced-choice emotional intelligence scale – with a sample of 271 Chinese nurses employed at 2 large hospitals in the Hunan Province of China. The results demonstrated that the WEIS did not fit a 4-factor structure and the scale had acceptable reliability and convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity. Although our results in this study support the practical utility of the WEIS with Chinese nurses, our results suggest the need for further validation of the WEIS.

Development And Validation

The aim of the study was to develop and validate a tool to measure the social intelligence quotient of employees at the workplace, especially during the time of recruitment. The tool was developed based on the five-part model of social intelligence developed by Karl Albrecht (2005). The sample for the study was selected using the snowball sampling technique and comprised of 222 people both males and females belonging to the age group 18-25 years and was of Indian origin. The steps of the study included the generation of the initial pool of items, expert validation, item analysis, followed by tests for reliability and validity. The data was collected online through google forms. Item total correlation, descriptive statistics, and structural equation modelling were used to analyse the data. The reliability of the scale established using Cronbach’s alpha (internal consistency) was found to be 0.87 (high). The scale was correlated with Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) to establish criterion validity and was found to be 0.164 (p < .01). The intra-correlation among the dimensions of the tool was found to be moderate, ranging between 0.42-0.57.

Development And Validation

Theoretical models of ability-based emotional intelligence (EI) present the ability to regulate other’s emotion as part of the emotion regulation facet, but in existing ability-based self-report EI measures, this ability is often not evaluated (e.g., Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, WLEIS, 2004) or is evaluated as a separate facet, in the work context (e.g., Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile WEIP-3, 2002). This consideration led to the development of a new self-report EI measure to assess EI abilities (Cluj Emotional Intelligence Scale, CEIS); the process of development and validation is presented in the current paper, across four different studies. Study 1 (n = 218) used item- analysis and exploratory factor analysis to select relevant items. Study 2 (n = 215) tested the factorial structure, convergent and discriminant validity and test-retest reliability (in sub-sample n = 75). Study 3 (n = 164) cross-validates the factorial structure and assesses concurrent validity of new instrument with well-being. Study 4 (n= 136) presents the translation of the new instrument from its original Romanian language into English and the evaluation of its psychometric properties.

Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) is a popular EI measure. Yet, it has been criticized for an unclear factor structure, and its psychometric properties were mainly examined in the Western context. This study was to evaluate its psychometric properties based on 1,724 Hong Kong undergraduate students, including its (a) factor structure, (b) internal consistency, and (c) criterion validity. We compared different factor structures reported in the literature. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) results supported a six-factor structure, which is tallied with Salovey and Mayer’s EI conceptualization. A multigroup CFA also rendered the structure as gender invariant. The scale was internally consistent with high McDonald’s omega coefficients. Significant association between EI and grade point average (GPA) was revealed in the faculties with people-oriented studies. Furthermore, EI was correlated with social, cognitive, and self-growth outcomes and satisfaction of university experience. The study contributes to clarify the factor structure and provides new reliability and validity evidence of the EIS in the Eastern context.

This study aimed at revealing the emotional intelligence levels of students with sensory disability in Amman in Jordan. The participants of the study were 200 students; 140 hearing impaired students and 60 visual impaired students enrolled in the special education schools and centers for the academic year 2016-2017. The study adopted the descriptive Approach. To achieve the goals of the study, the researchers prepared an emotional intelligence scale consisted of 30 items distributed into four fields: emotional knowledge, emotion regulation, empathy, and social efficiency. The scale’s reliability and validity were verified. Results showed that the total degree of the emotional intelligence of the students with hearing impairment was low and it was moderate for the students with visual impairment. Additionally, results revealed statistical significant differences between the students with hearing impairment and students with visual impairment in all the fields in favor of the students with visual impairment.The study confirmed the necessity to encourage people with sensory disabilities to take part in well-prepared activities and programs that allow them to express their emotions freely as drawing, acting, music and others to develop their emotional intelligence.

A 10-item instrument for the assessment of probable migration-related stressors was developed based on previous work (MIGSTR10) and interrater reliability was tested in a chart review study. The MIGSTR10 and nine nonspecific stressors of the DSM-IV Axis IV (DSMSTR9) were put into a questionnaire format with categorical and dimensional response options. Charts of 100 inpatients (50 Turkish migrants [MIG], 50 native German patients [CON]) with affective or anxiety disorder were reviewed by three independent raters and MIGSTR10, DSMSTR9, and Global Assessment of Functioning scale (GAF) scores were obtained. Interrater reliability indices (ICC) of items and sum scores were calculated. The prevalence of single migration-related stressors in MIG ranged from 15% to 100% (CON 0–92%). All items of the MIGSTR10 (ICC 0.58–0.92) and the DSMSTR9 (ICC 0.56–0.96) reached high to very high interrater agreement (p < .0005). The item analysis of the MIGSTR10 revealed sufficient internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.68/0.69) and only one item (“family conflicts”) without substantial correlation with the remaining scale. Correlation analyses showed a significant overlap of dimensional MIGSTR10 scores (r² = 0.25; p < .01) and DSMSTR9 scores (r² = 9%; p < .05) with GAF scores in MIG indicating functional relevance. MIGSTR10 is considered a feasible, economic, and reliable instrument for the assessment of stressors potentially related to migration.
