R. D. Roberts, M. Zeidner, and G. Matthews (2001) challenged the adequacy of the psychometric properties of the principal performance measure of emotional intelligence (EI). They raised doubt about the existence of emotion-related abilities that influence behavioral outcomes and social competence after controlling for general intelligence and personality. I agree with Roberts et al. that demonstrating the discriminant and predictive validity of a measure of EI in the context of rival predictors will require more research. I agree with the proponents of EI that emotion-related abilities do exist and show that such abilities in children account for unique variance in measures of adaptive behavior and social competence. However, evidence from developmental and clinical research suggest that these emotion-related abilities and their influence on socioemotional competence stem more from the direct effects of emotions than from a special form of intelligence.
R. D. 罗伯茨、M. 蔡德纳和G. 马修斯（2001年）对情商（EI）主要表现测量指标的心理测量特性的充分性提出了质疑。他们对在控制了一般智力和个性之后，影响行为结果和社会能力的与情绪相关能力的存在表示怀疑。我同意罗伯茨等人的观点，即在存在竞争预测因素的情况下，证明EI测量指标的区分效度和预测效度需要更多的研究。我同意EI的支持者的观点，即与情绪相关的能力确实存在，并表明儿童的此类能力在适应性行为和社会能力测量中占独特的方差。然而，来自发展和临床研究的证据表明，这些与情绪相关的能力及其对社会情绪能力的影响更多地源于情绪的直接影响，而不是一种特殊形式的智力。
