The association between envy and emotional intelligence (EI) has been documented. This study aimed to explore the causal relationship between envy and EI based on evolutionary theory and an emotional intelligence ability model in a cross-lagged longitudinal design. Using the revised Chinese version of the Dispositional Envy Scale and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, a 1-year follow-up study was conducted on 260 Chinese university students (56 males and 204 females). Longitudinal analysis indicated that envy and EI tracked over time. Cross-lagged analysis found that envy could significantly predict the generation and development of EI as well as its four dimensions (self-emotional appraisal, emotional regulation, others' emotional appraisal, and emotional use). Our findings provide better understanding of the link between envy and EI. These results are helpful for improving undergraduates' social adaptation levels.
已证实嫉妒与情绪智力（EI）之间存在关联。本研究旨在基于进化理论和情绪智力能力模型，采用交叉滞后纵向设计，探究嫉妒与 EI 之间的因果关系。研究使用修订后的中文特质嫉妒量表和 Wong 和 Law 情绪智力量表，对 260 名中国大学生（56 名男性和 204 名女性）进行了为期 1 年的随访研究。纵向分析表明，嫉妒和 EI 随时间推移而变化。交叉滞后分析发现，嫉妒可以显著预测 EI 及其四个维度（自我情绪评估、情绪调节、他人情绪评估和情绪运用）的产生和发展。本研究结果为理解嫉妒与 EI 之间的联系提供了更好的认识。这些结果有助于提高大学生的社会适应水平。
