Emotional communication uses verbal and nonverbal means. In case of conflicting signals, nonverbal information is assumed to have a stronger impact. It is unclear, however, whether perceptual nonverbal dominance varies between individuals and whether it is linked to emotional intelligence. Using audiovisual stimulus material comprising verbal and nonverbal emotional cues that were varied independently, perceptual nonverbal dominance profiles and their relations to emotional intelligence were examined. Nonverbal dominance was found in every participant, ranging from 55 to 100%. Moreover, emotional intelligence, particularly the ability to understand emotions, correlated positively with nonverbal dominance. Furthermore, higher overall emotional intelligence as well as a higher ability to understand emotions were linked to smaller reaction time differences between emotionally incongruent and congruent stimuli. The association between perceptual nonverbal dominance and emotional intelligence, and more specifically the ability to understand emotions, might reflect an adaptive process driven by the experience of higher authenticity in nonverbal cues.
情感交流使用言语和非言语手段。在信号冲突的情况下，非言语信息被认为具有更强的影响力。然而，目前尚不清楚个体之间的非言语感知优势是否存在差异，以及它是否与情绪智力有关。本研究使用包含言语和非言语情感线索的视听刺激材料，这些线索可以独立变化，以检查非言语感知优势的特征及其与情绪智力的关系。结果发现，每个参与者都存在非言语优势，范围从 55%到 100%。此外，情绪智力，特别是理解情绪的能力，与非言语优势呈正相关。此外，更高的整体情绪智力以及更高的理解情绪的能力与情感不一致和一致刺激之间的反应时间差异较小有关。非言语感知优势与情绪智力之间的关联，更具体地说是理解情绪的能力，可能反映了一种由非言语线索更高真实性体验驱动的适应性过程。
