K. V. Petrides and A. Furnham’s TEIQue-ASF Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire for Teenagers: A Psychometric Analysis

Abstract

K. V. Petrides and A. Furnham’s emotional intelligence model is extremely popular nowadays. Foreign specialists often use this diagnostic method to measure emotional intelligence. Standardization of diagnostic methods for the Russian-speaking teenagers could expand the capabilities of teen psychology and help specialists who work with adolescents. The article presents a psychometric analysis of the Russian-language version of the short emotional intelligence questionnaire TEIQue-ASF for teenagers developed by K. V. Petrides and A. Furnham. The questionnaire measures emotional intelligence in adolescents in the context of a model of personality traits. The research involved teenagers aged 13–17 from Novosibirsk (N = 347): 199 boys (57.3%) and 148 girls (42.7%). Later, 171 of them were re-examined to study the retest reliability. The validation procedure involved the following questionnaires: D. V. Lyusin’s EmIn Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire; The BFI-5 Questionnaire adapted by S. A. Shchebetenko; The SWLS Life Satisfaction Scale Questionnaire by E. Diner adapted by E. N. Osin and D. A. Leontiev; An analogue of The PANAS – SHPANA Scale of Positive and Negative Affect in E. N. Osin’s development; The STAI Questionnaire of Personal and Situational Anxiety by Ch. Spielberg in Y. L. Khanin’s adaptation. The obtained data made it possible to standardize the Russian-language version of the TEIQue-ASF questionnaire. The test showed a high internal consistency (Cronbach's mark = 0.901) and a convergent validity that corresponded to the original, as well as a good predictability of indicators of subjective well-being. The TEIQue-ASF test correlated with its adult version in A. A. Pankratova’s adaptation. The assessment revealed no statistically significant features in relation to the gender and age. The TEIQue-ASF test proved suitable for measuring emotional intelligence in Russian-speaking adolescents aged 13–17.
