Advantages of trait EI?
• Trait EI/trait emotional self-efficacy is a theory.
– It is testable because it leads to specific predictions (e.g., scores
should be orthogonal to IQ).
– It is falsifiable (e.g., low test-retest correlations).
– It is general because it allows us to predict the behaviour of many
different measures.
• Trait EI/trait emotional self-efficacy theory is consistent
with established individual differences models.
– It lies wholly outside the realm of cognitive ability (also unrelated
to synonyms, like ‘skills,’ ‘competencies,’ etc.).
– It is located at the lower levels of personality hierarchies.
KV Petrides
The validity of trait EI
• Trait EI is associated with many different criteria:
– Coping styles (Mikolajczak et al., 2008; Petrides et al.,
2007b).
– Emotion identification (Petrides & Furnham, 2003).
– Humour styles (Greven et al., 2008; Vernon et al., 2009)
– Marital, life, and work satisfaction (Saklofske et al.,
2003; Schutte et al., 2001; Singh & Woods, 2008).
– Mood (including sensitivity to mood induction and
mood recovery; Ciarrochi et al., 2001; Petrides et al.,
2007a).
– Reaction time (Austin, 2009).
– Self-harm in adolescence (Mikolajcak et al. 2009).

Trait EI and academic performance II
• Petrides et al. (2004) showed that trait EI
moderates the effects of IQ on English and overall
GCSE performance such that:
– For high IQ pupils, trait EI is not associated with
performance.
– In contrast, for low IQ pupils, high trait EI is positively
associated with academic performance.
• It appears that such effects as trait EI might have
on academic performance are likely to assume
prominence when the demands of a situation tend
to outweigh a pupil’s intellectual resources.

Trait EI and behaviour at school
• Pupils with high trait EI scores have fewer unauthorised absences
(truancy).
• Pupils with high trait EI scores are less likely to be expelled from their
school for serious breaches of discipline (exclusions).

Correlates of the TEIQue
• Correlates of the TEIQue
– Positive
• Conscientiousness, mental health, job satisfaction,
organizational commitment, seniority, pro-social behaviour,
popularity, sensitivity and susceptibility to affect, over-prediction
of affective reactions in decision-making, social desirability,
hubris.
– Negative
• Anxiety, introversion, psychopathology, turnover, maladaptive
coping, truancy, job stress, rumination, humility.
• The TEIQue provides comprehensive emotionality profiles
and can be recommended for the reliable assessment of
emotion-related individual differences in a variety of
contexts (clinical, educational, experimental, occupational,
etc.).

Areas of application I
• Clinical
– Diagnosis
– Relationship to personality disorders
• Cross-cultural
– Universality of sampling domain and structure
• Individualist versus collectivist cultures
– Mean-level differences
• Educational
– Streaming
– Career counseling
• Experimental
– Controlling for emotion-related individual differences variance that can distort
experimental results if ignored (particularly in small-sample research)
– Investigating interactions with experimental conditions
• Occupational
– Selection & assessment
– Relationship to key indicators (productivity, turnover, stress, well-being, etc.)
