Aims
• To give an indication of the main divisions of the research programme • To mention, as opposed to explain, core research findings – All papers are downloadable from www.psychometriclab.com
• To bring to your attention the range of assessment materials available via LPL October 2009, NTU Taipei

Background & milestones
• Thornike’s ‘social intelligence’.
• Gardner’s (1983) ‘multiple intelligences’.
– Intrapersonal intelligence – Interpersonal intelligence • ‘Emotional intelligence’ as a term appears in Greenspan (1989), Leuner (1966), Payne (1986).
• Salovey & Mayer (1990) • Goleman (1995) • Petrides and colleagues (2000-) – Trait EI versus Ability EI – Trait emotional intelligence research programme October 2009, NTU Taipei

Operationalization of EI
• Two crucial issues are involved in the operationalization of EI (and of any other construct): – What is the sampling domain of construct?
– How do we measure the various components of the sampling domain?
• Until recently – and even now – the first question was resolved by having as many sampling domains and EI definitions as researchers in the field.
• Until recently – and even now – the second question was not even considered, with researchers assuming that the use of
self-report
or
maximum-performance
implications for operationalization.

Trait EI vs ability EI
• •
Ability EI
(or ‘cognitive-emotional ability’) in theory encompasses emotion-related cognitive abilities and should be measured via maximum-performance tests (although this has not proved possible).
Trait EI
(or ‘trait emotional self-efficacy’) encompasses emotion-related dispositions and self perceptions and should be measured via self-report questionnaires.

Veridical scoring in IQ tests

•
The existence of single, invariant, and objectively derived correct response is a defining characteristic of intelligence testing.
K. V. Petrides
Operationalization of ability EI
• If ability EI is a new cognitive ability, then items or tasks with emotional content need to be developed such that they can be scored according to truly veridical criteria.
• In other words, the construct
in its entirety
ought to be assessed through items that can be responded to correctly or incorrectly. • Is it possible to develop EI items along cognitive ability lines? – NO: emotional experience is inherently subjective (Brody, 2004; Locke, 2005; Pérez, Petrides, & Furnham, 2005; Watson, 2000).

Trait EI
• Trait emotional intelligence is a constellation of emotion-related self-perceptions located at the lower levels of personality hierarchies (Petrides, Pita, & Kokkinaki, 2007).
• The trait EI sampling domain aims to provide comprehensive coverage of the emotion-related aspects of personality.
• Trait EI rejects the notion that emotions can be artificially objectified in order to be made amenable to veridical scoring, along IQ lines.
• An alternative label for the construct is “trait emotional self-efficacy”.

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

Trait SI - Definition • The domain of SI lacks the objectivity required to be amenable to maximum performance measurement.
• Trait SI (or trait social self-efficacy) is a constellation of social self perceptions located at the lower levels of hierarchical personality structures.
