Flight cadets' emotion is a factor of great importance to flight training. So it is of profound significance to address how emotional factors affect flight training performance. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and simulated flight performance (SFP), and explore the mechanism of emotional state as a mediator in the effect of EI on SFP. Ninety undergraduates took part in the study. EI (Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale), neuroticism (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised), anxiety (State Anxiety Inventory), and tension (Profile of Mood States) were collected. Conducted were 9 h of simulated flight training in a simulator of the Type 6 Primary Trainer. The Delphi Experts Grading Method was used to assess students' SFP. Mediation effect of emotional state was explored using regression analysis. EI was significantly correlated with neuroticism (r = -0.31), tension (r = -0.31), and anxiety (r = -0.31), respectively. Multiple mediation effects showed that emotional state mediated the association between EI and SFP. Tension especially mediated the associations between the Self Emotion Appraisals and Regulation of Emotion dimensions of EI and SFP. However, the Use of Emotion dimension of EI had a direct negative effect on SFP without the mediating role of emotional state. The findings indicated that EI was significantly correlated with emotional state (neuroticism, tension, and anxiety). EI may directly or indirectly affect SFP and tension played an important mediating role. Implications for the promotion of EI and emotional state to enhance performance in real flight training are discussed.
飞行学员的情绪是飞行训练中一个非常重要的因素。因此，探讨情绪因素如何影响飞行训练表现具有深远意义。本研究旨在调查情商（EI）与模拟飞行表现（SFP）之间的关系，并探索情绪状态在EI对SFP影响中的中介机制。90名本科生参与了该研究。收集了EI（王和Law情商量表）、神经质（艾森克人格问卷修订版）、焦虑（状态焦虑量表）和紧张（情绪状态剖面图）的数据。在6型初级教练机模拟器中进行了9小时的模拟飞行训练。采用德尔菲专家评分法评估学生的SFP。使用回归分析探索情绪状态的中介效应。EI分别与神经质（r = -0.31）、紧张（r = -0.31）和焦虑（r = -0.31）显著相关。多重中介效应表明，情绪状态介导了EI与SFP之间的关联。紧张尤其介导了EI的自我情绪评估和情绪调节维度与SFP之间的关联。然而，EI的情绪利用维度对SFP有直接负面影响，且没有情绪状态的中介作用。研究结果表明，EI与情绪状态（神经质、紧张和焦虑）显著相关。EI可能直接或间接影响SFP，紧张起着重要的中介作用。讨论了提高EI和情绪状态以提升实际飞行训练表现的意义。
