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.

Abstract Objectives We aimed to determine whether self-assessed single (hearing or visual) and dual sensory (hearing and visual) impairments are associated with cognitive decline and incident possible cognitive impairment, no dementia (CIND) and probable dementia. Method Data were drawn from the 1996–2014 surveys of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), involving 19,618 respondents who had no probable dementia and who were aged 50 years or older at the baseline. We used linear mixed models to test the association between self-assessed sensory impairment and cognitive decline followed by a Cox proportional hazard model to estimate the relative risk of incident possible CIND and probable dementia associated with the presence of sensory impairment. Results Respondents with self-assessed single and dual sensory impairment performed worse in cognitive tests than those without sensory impairment. The fully adjusted incidence of developing possible CIND was 17% higher for respondents with hearing impairment than those without hearing impairment. Respondents with visual impairment had 35% and 25% higher risk for developing possible CIND and probable dementia, respectively, than those without visual impairment. Respondents with dual sensory impairment at baseline were 38% and 26% more likely to develop possible CIND and probable dementia, respectively, than those with no sensory impairment. Discussion Self-assessed sensory impairment is independently associated with cognitive decline and incident possible CIND and probable dementia. Further studies are needed to identify the mechanism underlying this association and to determine whether treatment of sensory impairment could ameliorate cognitive decline and delay the onset of dementia among older adults.

Abstract Fall is the biggest caused of injury among elderly. It can be markers of poor health and declining function, and they are often associated with significant morbidity moreover it cause disability in the elderly that may increase health funding. The prevalence of fall among elderly in Indonesia is 8.2%. Most of them occur at home and the environment (63.7%), on the highway (18.9%) and the workplace (8.8%) (Ministry of Health Republic Indonesia, 2019). The normal changes of aging, like poor eyesight or poor hearing, considered as the risk of fall among the elderly. This condition has been linked to all-cause of mortality through three mediating variables i.e. disability in walking, cognitive impairment, and self-rated health (WHO, 2007) . This study aimed to assess the association between sensory impairment (hearing impairment and visual impairment) and the incidence of falls among the Indonesian elderly. This study conducted in cross sectional setting. Populations of this study are the elderly from 3 provinces namely Jakarta, West Java and Yogyakarta and selected in cluster random sampling. A total of 427 elderly (those who are above 60 years old) are participated this study. Hearing impairment is evaluated in self-reported and observation and visual acuity test performed to identify the visual impairment. The incidence of fall is identified by self-reported fall in the last 12 months. The multiple regression analysis identifies the model predictor for fall is statistically significant. The result showed that after adjusted to age and gender, elderly with vision impairment likely to have 2.054 times (95%CI 1.265 -3.335) to fall, the elderly with hearing impairment have 1.66 higher odds to fall (95%CI 1,005 - 2,793); Male Gender OR =0.46 (95% CI 0,288 -0,783) and Ages OR=1.84 (95%CI 1.1.67 -2.894). This finding indicates that after adjusted to ages and gender sensory impairments are increase the risk of fall among Indonesian elderly.

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.

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.

Comparative Survey

This comparative survey was conducted to explore the prevalence of suicidal behavior among the youth without sensory impairment ( n = 595) as well as youth with sensory impairment: visual impairment ( n = 537) and hearing impairment ( n = 535). Suicidal behavior of the participants were assessed by the Urdu form of Suicidal Behavior Questionnaire. Findings indicated the higher prevalence of overall suicidal behavior among the participants with visual impairment (38%) as compared with the participants with (32%) and the youth (13%) without sensory impairment. Odds ratios further confirmed these results by showing the participants with visual impairment higher on suicidal behavior. Moreover access to counseling, monthly income of the parents, and severity level of disability appeared to be positive predictors of suicidal behavior among the participants. Thus, results showed that all of the three groups are at the risk of having suicidal behavior and, therefore, careful measures are required to be taken at prevention and intervention levels.

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.
