Son escasos los estudios que analizan la relación entre conducta agresiva e inteligencia emocional. Este estudio examina la relación entre inteligencia emocional rasgo y los componentes motor (agresividad física y agresividad verbal), cognitivo (hostilidad) y afectivo/emocional (ira) de la conducta agresiva. El Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Adolescents Short Form (TEIQue-ASF) y el Aggression Questionnaire Short version (AQ-S) fueron administrados a una muestra de 314 adolescentes (52.5% chicos) de 12 a 17 años. Los resultados indicaron que los adolescentes con altas puntuaciones en conducta agresiva física, verbal, hostilidad e ira presentaron puntuaciones significativamente más bajas en inteligencia emocional rasgo que sus iguales con puntuaciones bajas en conducta agresiva física, verbal, hostilidad e ira. Este patrón de resultados fue el mismo tanto para la muestra total como para chicos, chicas y los grupos de edad de 12-14 años y 15-17 años. Además, en la mayoría de los casos se hallaron tamaños del efecto grandes apoyando la relevancia empírica de estas diferencias.
Abstract. The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Questionnaire about Interpersonal Difficulties for Adolescents (QIDA; Inglés, Méndez, & Hidalgo, 2000 ). In Study 1, the questionnaire was administered to a sample of 4,240 high school pupils. Exploratory factor analysis identified five factors accounting for 42.86% of the variance: Assertiveness, Heterosexual Relationships, Public Speaking, Family Relationships, and Close Friendships. Internal consistency was high (.90). In Study 2, 538 high school pupils answered a set of social anxiety and personality self-report measures. Test-retest reliability, over a 2-week period, was adequate (.78). Correlations between the QIDA and the Personal Report of Confidence as Speaker (r = .43), the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory (r = .61), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (r = -.38, Extraversion; r = .34, Neuroticism) were statistically significant. A significant difference was found between the total QIDA score for adolescents with and without social phobia (d = 1.53) supporting the construct validity of the questionnaire.
