The field of ability-related emotional intelligence (ability EI) could benefit from new perspectives concerning dynamic operations. According to a recent perspective, variations in ability EI are likely to be linked to variations in skills related to evaluation. This perspective contends, perhaps counterintuitively, that higher levels of ability EI are likely to be linked to higher levels of emotional reactivity, defined in terms of stronger event-emotion relationships. Two studies (total = 245) pursue such ideas in the context of multilevel models involving event valence and emotional experience. Variations in ability EI modulated event-emotion relationships in the context of laboratory inductions involving hypothetical events (Study 1), affective images varying in valence (Study 1), and with respect to naturally occurring variations in positive and negative daily events (Study 2), such that higher levels of ability EI were linked to stronger event-emotion relationships, regardless of whether events and emotions were positive or negative in valence. These results provide new evidence for recent theorizing concerning ability EI while speaking to functional versus dysfunctional perspectives on emotional reactivity.
能力相关的情绪智力（能力EI）领域可以从有关动态运作的新视角中受益。根据最近的一种观点，能力EI的变化可能与评估相关技能的变化有关。这种观点认为，或许有悖直觉的是，较高水平的能力EI可能与较高水平的情绪反应性有关，情绪反应性是根据更强的事件 - 情绪关系来定义的。两项研究（总计245人）在涉及事件效价和情绪体验的多层次模型背景下探讨了此类观点。在涉及假设事件的实验室诱导情境中（研究1）、效价不同的情感图像（研究1）以及关于日常正负事件的自然发生变化方面（研究2），能力EI的变化调节了事件 - 情绪关系，结果表明，无论事件和情绪在效价上是正还是负，较高水平的能力EI都与更强的事件 - 情绪关系相关。这些结果为近期有关能力EI的理论化提供了新证据，同时也涉及到情绪反应性的功能性与功能失调性观点。
