The purpose of this work is to verify the factorial structure and analyze the reliability of the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i): Youth Version (YV) (S) by evaluating emotional intelligence in a more extensive sample of Spanish adolescents than has been used to date, since this inventory has been employed in various studies but with a very limited number of participants. For this study, 5292 adolescents from all over Spain participated-male (51.2%) and female (48.8%) secondary education students between 11 and 19 years old, with an average age of 14.33. Data analysis included a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), reliability analysis, and model invariance as a function of gender. The CFA confirms that the data empirically support the theoretical model and that the goodness-of-fit indexes are adequate. The reliability analysis of the inventory presents a Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale of 0.76, and reliability indexes for each of the factors range between 0.63 and 0.80. The findings show that the model indicates invariance related to gender.
本研究旨在验证情感商数量表（EQ-i）青年版（YV）（S）的因子结构，并分析其可靠性，评估更广泛的西班牙青少年群体的情绪智力，这比迄今为止使用的方法更为广泛，因为该量表已在各种研究中使用，但参与者数量非常有限。在这项研究中，来自西班牙各地的 5292 名青少年参与了研究，他们是 11 至 19 岁的男女中学生，平均年龄为 14.33 岁。数据分析包括验证性因素分析（CFA）、可靠性分析以及性别函数下的模型不变性。CFA 证实数据在实证上支持理论模型，且拟合度指数是适当的。该量表的可靠性分析显示，总量表的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.76，每个因素的可靠性指数在 0.63 到 0.80 之间。研究结果表明，该模型表明与性别相关的不变性。
