Group differences in emotional intelligence scores: theoretical and practical implications

An Investigation of the Relationships Among SelfConstrual, Emotional Intelligence, and Well-Being

“…See Table 7 for a summary of the results. Discussion I t was hypothesized that those with higher Interdependent Self-Construal would score higher on emotional intelligence measures than those with the Independent Self-Construal based on previous research (Cross & Madson, 1997;Van Rooy et al, 2005). However, this finding was not supported in the current study.…”

“…The Study B ased on the previous literature, the current study hypothesized that individuals with high interdependent self-construal will score higher on emotional intelligence than individuals with high independent selfconstrual (Cross & Madson, 1997;Van Rooy et al, 2005), and individuals with higher metapersonal self-construal will score higher on emotional intelligence than both individuals with high scores on the independent and interdependent self-construals . Further, individuals with high scores on the Independent and the Metapersonal Self-Construals will have higher scores of well-being as measured by the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) than individuals with high scores on the Interdependent Self-Construal (Cross et al, 2003;Marian & Kaushanskaya, 2004;Reid, 2004).…”

The Role of Trait Emotional Intelligence in Individual Performance: A Descriptive Study in Albaha University, Saudi Arabia

“…A study by [11] found that male students had a higher emotional intelligence score than female students. This finding is the opposite of some previous studies where female students have repetitively had higher emotional intelligence scores than male students [8] [12] [27]- [29]. From the discussion above, the following hypotheses are proposed:…”

A preliminary study of empathy, emotional intelligence and examination performance in MBChB students

“…relating to interpersonal capabilities, whereas males score higher on subscales relating to intrapersonal capabilities. 25,26 For empathy, females are generally found to have higher scores than males. 27 These findings raise the possibility, assuming that higher levels of empathy and interpersonal EI are helpful in medical studies, that EI and ⁄ or empathy levels may be a contributory factor to differences between men and women in academic success.…”
