The present study investigated the location of trait emotional intelligence (trait EI or trait emotional self-efficacy) within the context of the HEXACO model - a more comprehensive personality framework than the conventional Big Five structure. A total of 666 MZ and 526 DZ adult twin pairs from the United Kingdom completed the short form of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue-SF) and the short form of the HEXACO Personality Inventory (HEXACO-60). Many significant phenotypic correlations between the TEIQue-SF and the HEXACO-60 were obtained, which were strongest for HEXACO Extraversion, and weakest for HEXACO Honesty-Humility. As was expected, Emotionality was the only HEXACO dimension to correlate negatively with TEIQue-SF scores. Bivariate behavioral genetic analyses revealed that all phenotypic correlations were attributable to common genetic and common nonshared environmental factors. The study confirms the validity of trait EI as a constellation of emotional self-perceptions located at the lower levels of personality.
本研究在HEXACO模型的背景下探究了特质情绪智力（特质EI或特质情绪自我效能感）的位置，HEXACO模型是一个比传统大五人格结构更全面的人格框架。来自英国的666对同卵双胞胎和526对异卵双胞胎成年对完成了特质情绪智力量表简版（TEIQue-SF）和HEXACO人格量表简版（HEXACO-60）。在TEIQue-SF和HEXACO-60之间获得了许多显著的表型相关性，其中与HEXACO外向性的相关性最强，与HEXACO诚实-谦逊的相关性最弱。正如预期的那样，情绪性是唯一与TEIQue-SF得分呈负相关的HEXACO维度。双变量行为遗传学分析表明，所有表型相关性均归因于共同的遗传因素和共同的非共享环境因素。该研究证实了特质EI作为位于人格较低层次的情绪自我认知组合的有效性。
