The Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) is a self-report emotional intelligence scale based on the theoretical framework of Mayer & Salovey (1997). The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS; Wong & Law, 2002) in a large sample of 1,460 adults (815 women and 645 men) ranging from 17 to 64 years old (M = 33.27, SD = 11.60).
The scale was back-translated and participants completed a battery of questionnaires including the Spanish WLEIS (WLEIS-S), perceived stress scale, subjective happiness scale, life satisfaction scale, and suicide behavioural questionnaire.
The results provided evidence of adequate internal consistency and criterion validity consistent with the original version. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a four-factor structure with good fit. Finally, gender differences were found in the overall Emotional Intelligence score and on the appraising the emotion of others dimension, with women scoring higher than men.
Overall our results provide evidence that the WLEIS-S might be a promising tool for the assessment emotional intelligence in the Spanish context.
黄和罗情绪智力量表(WLEIS)是一种基于 Mayer & Salovey(1997)理论框架的自我报告情绪智力量表。本研究的目的是在一个由 1460 名成年人(815 名女性和 645 名男性)组成的大样本中,检验 Wong 和 Law 情绪智力量表(WLEIS;Wong & Law,2002)的西班牙版本的心理测量特性,年龄范围从 17 岁到 64 岁(M=33.27,SD=11.60)。
该量表被回译,参与者完成了一系列问卷,包括西班牙 WLEIS(WLEIS-S)、感知压力量表、主观幸福感量表、生活满意度量表和自杀行为问卷。
结果提供了与原始版本一致的足够的内部一致性和效标效度的证据。验证性因素分析显示了一个具有良好拟合度的四因素结构。最后,在整体情绪智力得分和评估他人情绪维度上发现了性别差异,女性得分高于男性。
总的来说,我们的结果表明,WLEIS-S 可能是评估西班牙情境下情绪智力的一个有前途的工具。
