The current study examined the relationship between emotional intelligence, personality disorder traits, and college adjustment.
A sample of 246 first-semester, first-time freshmen (73.6% female, age mean = 18.7, standard deviation = 2.0) at a large university in the Eastern United States completed the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (Petrides, 2009), the Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality-2 (Clark, Simms, Wu, & Casillas, 2014), and the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (Baker & Siryk, 1998).
As predicted, personality disorder symptoms and emotional intelligence were generally related, and both were related to adjustment. Unique patterns of association between traits reflecting personality disorder clusters and emotional intelligence deficits also emerged. Contrary to expectation, however, emotional intelligence did not moderate the relationship between personality disorders and adjustment.
The results suggest an alternative model implicating emotional intelligence as a mediator of the relationship between personality difficulties and college adjustment.
本研究考察了情绪智力、人格障碍特征与大学生适应之间的关系。
美国东部一所大型大学的 246 名大一新生（73.6%为女性，年龄均值=18.7，标准差=2.0）完成了特质情绪智力问卷（Petrides，2009）、非适应和适应人格-2 量表（Clark、Simms、Wu 和 Casillas，2014）以及大学生适应调查问卷（Baker 和 Siryk，1998）。
正如预测的那样，人格障碍症状和情绪智力通常是相关的，两者都与适应有关。反映人格障碍集群的特质和情绪智力缺陷之间也出现了独特的关联模式。然而，与预期相反，情绪智力并没有调节人格障碍与适应之间的关系。
结果表明，一种替代模型暗示情绪智力是人格障碍与大学生适应之间关系的中介。
