This article analyses the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and academic performance, controlling for the effects of IQ, personality, and self-concept dimensions. A sample of 290 preadolescents (11-12 years old) took part in the study. The instruments used were (a) Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire—Adolescents Short Form (TEIQue-ASF); (b) Children’s Personality Questionnaire (CPQ; Form A, Part A); (c) IQ test TIDI-2; (d) Adaptation Questionnaire (CAI-1); and (e) academic performance. A positive and significant correlation coefficient between trait EI measured by the TEIQue-ASF and general academic performance was found. The TEIQue-ASF showed incremental validity to predict general academic performance, after controlling for intelligence, personality, and self-concept characteristics.

The Emotional Quotient Questionnaire for Youth Version (EQ-i:YV) was tested and validated using a sample of 1655 Spanish students. A detailed psychometric analysis provided evidence in support of the reliability of the EQ-i:YV and the robustness of its proposed five-factor structure. Using different subsamples of participants, the associations between the EQ-i:YV and a series of relevant constructs (general intelligence, personality traits, self-concept, and academic performance) were examined, which also included data on another trait EI measure (TEIQue-ASF). Overall, the EQ-i:YV showed expected relationships to all other constructs. Finally, the standard score provided can help to interpret the emotional skills, competences and facilitators of Spanish children and adolescents.Keywords: Emotional intelligence, EQ-i:YV, standard scores, psychometric properties, validity and reliability. ResumenEl objetivo es validar el cuestionario de inteligencia emocional (EQ-i:YV, Emotional Quotient inventory: Young Version). En el estudio han participado 1655 estudiantes. Los análisis psicométricos aportan evidencias sobre la fiabilidad y validez de la estructura de cinco factores del cuestionario. Se han utilizado diferentes submuestras para estudiar la relación entre el EQ-i: YV y una serie de constructos relevantes (inteligencia general, rasgos de personalidad, autoconcepto y rendimiento académico); además se ha incluido otra medida de la inteligencia emocional (TEIQue-ASF, Trait Emocional Intelligence Questionaire-Adolescent Short Form). Los datos muestran que el EQ-i:YV mantiene las relaciones esperadas con el resto de constructos estudiados. Finalmente, se presentan los baremos del EQi:YV , que ayudan a interpretar las puntuaciones en niños y adolescentes españoles.Palabras clave: Inteligencia emocional, EQ-i:YV baremos, propiedades psicométricas (validez y fiabilidad).

Introducción. El trabajo tiene una doble finalidad: a) por una parte, estudiar las característi-cas referidas a inteligencia emocional en alumnos de alta habilidad (superdotados y no superdotados) en dos muestras de alumnos de dos países: España e Inglaterra; por otra, estudiar las diferencias de género de dichos alumnos. Resultados. Los resultados indicaron diferencias entre la percepción de la inteligencia emocional de los españoles superdotados y talentos y la de los ingleses. Con respecto a la influencia de la nacionalidad, la existencia de superdotación o no y el sexo, encontramos que las chicas no superdotadas o talentos inglesas obtuvieron puntuaciones más elevadas que los otros grupos en la dimensión de manejo del estrés. Además, se evidenció una interacción según el sexo para la dimensión de la inteligencia interpersonal. Los resultados señalaron que las chicas obtuvieron puntuaciones más elevadas que los chicos. Método AbstractIntroduction. The aim of this study is two fold: a) to compare the emotional intelligence

What are the characteristics leading teachers to nominate gifted students in Spain? To answer this question, several demographic (i.e., gender, grade) and psychological (i.e., multiple intelligences, emotional intelligence, intellectual aptitude, and divergent thinking) characteristics of 563 secondary students nominated as gifted by their teachers were analyzed. Results showed a general gifted profile of the nominated students defined by higher scores in their naturalist and social intelligences, stress management, and verbal, mechanical, and spatial reasoning. Additional analysis indicated that students' gender and grade also influenced teachers' nominations of gifted students. Based on the associations among the demographic and psychological characteristics included in this study, nominated students could be classified in five specific gifted profiles, namely, moderately gifted students, socialemotionally gifted students, artistically gifted students, intellectually gifted students, and generally gifted students. Discussion of the limitations of the study, directions for future research, and educational implications of the study are provided.
