Lecture 8 Flashcards
What did Joseph & Newman’s (2010) meta-analysis of EI with personality, intelligence and job performance find about EI’s correlations with personality?
o Correlations with personality
♣ Stream 3 > Stream 2 > Stream 1
♣ Highest correlation between EI and emotional stability for Streams 2 and 3
• Large overlap between EI and emotional stability for Stream 3
o High enough to indicate an issue with discriminant validity
♣ Highest correlation between EI and agreeableness for Stream 1
What did Joseph & Newman’s (2010) meta-analysis of EI with personality, intelligence and job performance find about EI’s correlations with intelligence?
♣ Stream 1 > Streams 2 and 3
What did Joseph & Newman’s (2010) meta-analysis of EI with personality, intelligence and job performance find about the relationship between self-reports of emotional stability and intelligence?
o No relationship between self-reports of emotional stability and how well you do on cognitive tests (r = ~0)
What EI factor did Joseph & Newman’s (2010) meta-analysis find had strongest correlation with intelligence? What could this mean?
♣ Strongest for Understanding (medium to large correlation)
• Could be due to use of multiple-choice construct
o Correlate with specific aspects of empathy
What EI factor did Joseph & Newman’s (2010) meta-analysis find had strongest correlation with Agreeableness?
♣ Strongest for Management
What are the 3 correlational criteria that must be met for emotional intelligence to be considered an intelligence?
- EI branches relate to each other
- EI branches relate to intelligence
- BUT EI is distinct from known measures
♣ r(EI/EI) > r(EI/g) and/or factorial distinction
Which of the 3 correlational criteria for emotional intelligence have support from studies?
- There is support for Criteria 1 and 2 and SOME support for Criteria 3 (e.g. MacCann (2010) )
o But only examined Gf and Gc - EI is strongly related to Gc
MacCann et al. (2014) proposed what about emotional intelligence?
o EI is a factor within the CHC Broad (Stratum II) ability domains – Gei
What are the proposed CHC Narrow (Stratum I) abilities?
- Emotion perception (EP)
- Emotional understanding (EU)
- Emotion management (EM)
What were the results of MacCann et al.’s (2014) study of emotional intelligence as a Stratum II factor of intelligence?
♣ Positive manifold (all the variables are positively correlated)
♣ Understanding shows the strongest correlations with all group factors of intelligence
• BUT Understanding correlations are stronger for Gf and Gc than other aspects of emotional intelligence
What is the best-fitting model of ‘emotional intelligence’ as being an actual intelligence?
The Hierarchical Model with EI (CHC Theory)
What are the EI loadings on ‘g’ in comparison to other group factors of intelligence in the hierarchical model?
- EI shows similar loading on ‘g’ to other group factors of intelligence
How many primary mental abilities does the hierarchical model with EI suggest?
- Suggests a model of EI with three primary mental abilities
o Emotion Perception
o Emotion Understanding
o Emotion Management
What is the aim of EI “priming” tasks?
- The aim is to increase emotional intelligence
Name an EI priming study
- Schutte & Malouff (2012)
What were the results of Schutte & Malouff’s (2012) written “priming” tasks?
o Results of priming task
♣ The primes increased scores on emotional intelligence by about ½ SD (7-8 IQ points) on tests taken immediately after the task
♣ Results were larger for strategic EI (understanding + management) than experiential EI (perception + facilitation of emotion)
• Priming worked to increase EI scores by making people think analytically about their emotions
Describe Schutte & Malouff’s (2012) “priming” tasks?
o TASK (Study 1): 7 priming tasks (written), starting with:
“Think
of a time during the past several days when you…”
Describe Pool & Qualter’s (2012) EI training program?
o 11 weeks x 1 2hr class per week
o Students were “provided with some EI theory together with a range of activities aimed at encouraging them to gain a greater understanding of the impact emotion has on their lives and develop effective emotion management strategies.”
♣ Test feedback and score profile reflections
♣ “Mini-lectures, video clips, case studies, group tasks, discussions, role play”
♣ Reflective journal, case study report + essay
o Pre-post assessments on MSCEIT + self-perceptions of four MSCEIT abilities
What were the results of Pool & Qualter’s (2012) EI training program?
♣ ALL branches of self-perceived EI improved
• Very large effect sizes (0.83 to 1.3 – equivalent to 13-20 IQ points)
♣ Only Understanding and Management abilities improved
• Moderate to large effect sizes (0.36-0.43 – equivalent to 5-6.5 IQ points)
o Perceived that they were way better after training than they actually were
What issue was there with the results of Pool & Qualter’s (2012) EI training program?
There was no follow-up
Name two studies that looked at the effects of a training program on EI
- Pool & Qualter (2012)
- Nelis, Quoidback, Mikolajczak & Hansenne (2009)
What study showed the lasting effects of EI training?
- Nelis, Quoidback, Mikolajczak & Hansenne (2009)
Describe Nelis, Quoidback, Mikolajczak & Hansenne’s (2009) study
o 6-month follow-up (pre-post); n = 19 (training), n = 18 (control)
o 4 x 2.5hr sessions over 4 weeks
o Multiple measures (all streams)
What were the results of Nelis, Quoidback, Mikolajczak & Hansenne’s (2009) study?
♣ Training effects last long-term (gains lasted for 6 months after training)
♣ Largest effects for Emotion Management
