Lack of emotional intelligence (EI) may lead to maladjustment and inability to achieve desired goals. A relationship between low levels of EI and crime has been proposed.
The aim was to assess the relationship between EI and criminal behavior.
Study sample consisted of 202 subjects, in whom 101 subjects were convicted offenders, and 101 were matched normal controls. Offender group comprised of individuals convicted for different crimes such as murder, rape, and robbery, selected from Birsa Munda Central Jail, Hotwar, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India based on purposive sampling. Sample of the normal control group was taken from Ranchi and nearby areas. All subjects gave informed consent for participating in the study. Both the groups were matched on age, gender, education, occupation, and marital status. All participants were assessed on General Health Questionnaire-12 and Mangal Emotional Intelligence Inventory (MEII). The results were analyzed using statistical package SPSS-version 20.
The group of convicted offenders obtained significantly lower scores on all the domains of MEII such as intrapersonal awareness (own emotions), interpersonal awareness (others emotions), intrapersonal management (own emotions) and interpersonal management (others emotions), and aggregate emotional quotient in comparison to their normal counterparts.
The convicted offenders group had significantly lower EI compared to normal subjects. Starting EI enhancement program in prison can help the inmates better understand their feelings and emotions.
缺乏情商（EI）可能导致适应不良以及无法实现预期目标。低情商与犯罪之间的关系已被提出。
评估情商与犯罪行为之间的关系。
研究样本包括202名受试者，其中101名是被定罪的罪犯，101名是匹配的正常对照组。罪犯组由因谋杀、强奸和抢劫等不同罪行被定罪的个体组成，基于目的抽样从印度贾坎德邦兰契市霍特瓦尔的比尔萨·蒙达中央监狱选取。正常对照组样本来自兰契及周边地区。所有受试者均签署了参与研究的知情同意书。两组在年龄、性别、教育程度、职业和婚姻状况方面进行了匹配。所有参与者均接受了一般健康问卷-12和曼加尔情商量表（MEII）的评估。使用统计软件包SPSS 20版对结果进行分析。
与正常对照组相比，被定罪罪犯组在MEII的所有领域，如自我认知（自身情绪）、人际认知（他人情绪）、自我管理（自身情绪）和人际管理（他人情绪）以及综合情商得分上均显著较低。
与正常受试者相比，被定罪罪犯组的情商显著较低。在监狱中启动情商提升项目可以帮助囚犯更好地理解自己的感受和情绪。
