Meditation can elicit trait-like changes in psychological and social styles, as well as enhancement of emotional regulatory capacity. We investigated the relation between personality traits and emotional intelligence in meditation practitioners.
Seventy-two long-term practitioners of mind-body training (MBT) and 62 healthy comparative individuals participated in the study. The participants completed emotional intelligence questionnaires and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
The MBT group revealed higher scores on all five emotional intelligence factors than did those in the control group, such as emotional awareness and expression, empathy, emotional thinking, emotional application, and emotional regulation (all ≤0.001). MBT practitioners also had higher scores on the intuition of perceiving function ( =-2.635, =0.010) and on the feeling of the judging function ( =-3.340, =0.001) of the MBTI compared with those in the control group. Only the MBT group showed a robust relationship with every factor of emotional intelligence and MBTI-defined intuitive styles, indicating that higher scores of emotional intelligence were related to higher scores for intuition.
Emotional intelligence of meditation practitioners showed notable relationships with some features of personality trait. In-depth associations between emotional intelligence and personality traits would help to foster psychological functions in meditation practitioners.
冥想可引发心理和社交风格上类似特质的变化，以及增强情绪调节能力。我们调查了冥想练习者的人格特质与情商之间的关系。
72名长期身心训练（MBT）练习者和62名健康对照个体参与了该研究。参与者完成了情商问卷和迈尔斯-布里格斯类型指标（MBTI）。
MBT组在所有五个情商因素上的得分均高于对照组，如情绪意识与表达、同理心、情绪思维、情绪应用和情绪调节（均≤0.001）。与对照组相比，MBT练习者在MBTI的感知功能直觉（=-2.635，=0.010）和判断功能情感（=-3.340，=0.001）上的得分也更高。只有MBT组在情商的各个因素与MBTI定义的直觉风格之间显示出强烈的关系，表明情商得分越高与直觉得分越高相关。
冥想练习者的情商与人格特质的某些特征显示出显著关系。情商与人格特质之间的深入关联将有助于促进冥想练习者的心理功能。
