The relationship between individual differences in Emotional Intelligence (EI) and self-reported arousal from remembering an autobiographical emotional or neutral event was examined. Participants (N = 235; 75 men; M age = 18.7 yr., SD = 0.9, range = 18-22) were required to complete the Japanese version of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire to assess EI. Participants were then asked to recall personal episodes from autobiographical memory, and then completed the Memory Characteristics Questionnaire (MCQ). A group with high EI-rated, emotionally neutral episodes higher than did a group with low EI on several MCQ subscales: sound, participants, overall memory, and doubt/certainty. However, differences in ratings between the two groups were not observed for emotionally positive episodes. These results suggest that high EI is related to more effective use of weak retrieval cues when recalling neutral autobiographical memories.
研究了情商（EI）的个体差异与回忆自传体情感或中性事件时自我报告的唤醒之间的关系。参与者（N = 235；75名男性；年龄M = 18.7岁，标准差 = 0.9，范围 = 18 - 22岁）被要求完成日语版的情绪技能与能力问卷以评估情商。然后要求参与者从自传体记忆中回忆个人事件，接着完成记忆特征问卷（MCQ）。在MCQ的几个分量表上，高情商组对情绪中性事件的评分高于低情商组：声音、参与者、总体记忆以及怀疑/确定程度。然而，两组在情绪积极事件的评分上未观察到差异。这些结果表明，高情商与回忆中性自传体记忆时更有效地利用微弱检索线索有关。
