Emotional intelligence (EI), empathy, and prosocial behavior (PB) are widely studied in the early stages of life, up to adolescence. However, there have been few studies in older adults. Using a multivariate methodology, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were applied with structural equation models (SEM) in 271 older adults in Colombia, along with a Spanish sample made up of 139 adults over 60 years of age, for a total sample of 411 older adults. The results confirmed that EI, as measured with the WLEIS, scale is the best predictor of PB, with excellent adjustment criteria (GFI = 0.99; CFI = 0.98; RMSEA = 0.064; PCLOSE = 0.28; SRMR = 0.023; AIC = 57.30). It is concluded that the path model yielded a reliable predictive explanation of PB, including EI as a key variable that explains prosocial tendencies.
在生命的早期阶段直至青春期，人们对情商（EI）、同理心和亲社会行为（PB）进行了广泛研究。然而，针对老年人的此类研究却很少。采用多变量方法，对哥伦比亚的271名老年人以及由139名60岁以上成年人组成的西班牙样本（共411名老年人）运用探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析（CFA）并结合结构方程模型（SEM）。结果证实，用WLEIS量表测量的EI是PB的最佳预测指标，具有出色的拟合标准（GFI = 0.99；CFI = 0.98；RMSEA = 0.064；PCLOSE = 0.28；SRMR = 0.023；AIC = 57.30）。研究得出结论，路径模型对PB产生了可靠的预测性解释，其中EI作为解释亲社会倾向的关键变量。
