“…The scores of each item are summed to obtain an overall score, with higher scores indicating higher levels of self-reported EI. The Chinese version of the TEIQue-SF has shown adequate psychometric properties [36], and the Cronbach's alpha for the scale in the present study was 0.906.…”

Background: Empathy is an essential quality for physicians and medical trainees. This study aimed to examine the associations of emotional intelligence (EI) and gratitude with empathy in medical students. Methods: We conducted this cross-sectional study at three medical schools in China. A pack of self-reported questionnaires, consisting of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF), the Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6), and demographic section were distributed to the students. Results: A pool of 1392 students became the final participants. After adjustment for the demographics, trait EI and gratitude were positively related to Perspective Taking and Empathic Concern, accounting for 33.1 and 22.7% of their variance, respectively. While trait EI was strongly and negatively associated with Personal Distress, gratitude was modestly and positively associated with it, and they collectively explained 29.1% of its variance. Conclusions: Trait EI and gratitude could be vital psychological constructs for understanding empathy in medical students. The positive roles they may play could be considered when intervention strategies and programs are designed to enhance the professional competencies in medical students.

“…The reliability and validity of TEIQue-SF have been established across different populations, [16][17][18] but not with trainees in the Arab world. Internal consistency reliabilities of the 4 factors were as follows: Cronbach a ¼ 0.70 for Emotionality, a ¼ 0.8 for Self-control, a ¼ 0.78 for Well-being, and a ¼ 0.75 for Sociability.…”

Background As part of the globalization of medical education, residency programs in Oman have adopted competency-based standards by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education International (ACGME-I). Correctly perceiving the emotions of others and managing one's own emotions are essential to high-quality patient care. Objective We tested the reliability and construct validity of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF), and assessed trait Emotional Intelligence (EI) in Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB) residents in multiple specialties. We explored for correlations with trainees' sociodemographic background data. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, observational study between February and August 2017. Participants were OMSB residents. We administered the TEIQue-SF and collected sociodemographic data from participants. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify independent predictors of trait EI. Results The present cohort scored high in the trait EI subscale of Well-being, followed by Sociability, Self-control, and Emotionality. Among sociodemographic factors, female gender and high income were significant predictors of TEIQue-SF's Wellbeing subscale and high income and living in a rented home were significant predictors of the Sociability subscale. Conclusions This is the first study conducted among medical residents in Oman regarding trait EI and its correlates. Our findings of overall high EI and several socioeconomic predictors echo the literature on the assessment of EI in trainees. The findings add to the evidence of cross-cultural applicability of instruments to measure trait EI, and use assessments of EI in resident selection and education.

“…Although most fit indices were considered acceptable in the Chinese TEIQue-SF [χ² (2) = 12.188; CFI = .980; RMSEA = .096, 90%-CI = .049−.151; SRMR = .024], the researchers reported a lack of measurement invariance between the two samples. Moreover, alpha coefficients at the factor level were somewhat lower in the Chinese (α = .47−.82), than the Canadian sample (α = .67−.85), although both showed high reliability for global trait EI (α = .88; Feher, Yan, Saklofske, Plouffe, & Gao, 2019). The Australian (Perera, 2015) and Urdu (Shahzad, Riaz, Begum, & Khanum, 2014) adaptations of the TEIQue-SF also revealed the same high global trait EI reliability values.…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian adaptation of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF). In a sample of 512 participants, we tested model fit by bifactor Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM), followed by measurement invariance testing against UK and Chilean datasets of the measure. The Big Five Mini-Markers, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Subjective Happiness Scale were also administered as external validation measures. We obtained the following results: a) final adequate bifactor ESEM model fit; b) a significantly higher global trait EI mean for men (d = .27); c) high internal consistency for global trait EI (α = .88), in spite of lower Cronbach's α values at the factor level (.60−.85); d) high correlation (r = .89) in the test-retest; e) significant correlation between global trait EI and most of the Big Five dimensions (r = -.66−.46), life satisfaction (.59) and happiness (.68); f) evidence of incremental validity of trait EI for life satisfaction and happiness over and above the Big Five; g) equivalent measurement across the Brazilian, UK and Chilean versions of the TEIQue-SF.We conclude that the Brazilian TEIQue-SF is psychometrically sound and can be recommended for research and practical use.
