Measuring psychological constructs in children presents unique challenges, as careful consideration of children's cognitive and socioemotional development is needed. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Child Form (TEIQue-CF) was developed within the theoretical underpinnings of trait Emotional Intelligence theory and is predicated on primary aged children. This review aims to systematize the scientific literature on the TEIQue-CF, its corresponding short form, the TEIQue-CSF and the translated versions of these tools to identify the key outcomes predicted by these forms in children aged 8-13 years.
A search was conducted in Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and APA PsycArticles in June 2024. This review was guided by the latest version of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Conducted search identified 40 studies that investigated child emotional intelligence measured via TEIQue child forms. The key findings cover several topics related to the emotional aspects of children's personalities, such as their intra- and interpersonal relationships, school life, cognition, and creativity.
This systematic review revealed that trait Emotional Intelligence measured via the TEIQue child forms provide reliable results and is valid, as it has been linked to key childhood variables. This review also provides guidance for future research on the topic of trait Emotional Intelligence in children by highlighting current research limitations to avoid the likelihood of misleading research findings.
测量儿童的心理结构具有独特的挑战，因为需要仔细考虑儿童的认知和社会情感发展。特质情绪智力问卷儿童版（TEIQue-CF）是在特质情绪智力理论的理论基础上开发的，适用于小学年龄的儿童。本综述旨在系统地总结 TEIQue-CF、其对应的短版 TEIQue-CSF 以及这些工具的翻译版本的科学文献，以确定这些工具在 8-13 岁儿童中预测的关键结果。
2024 年 6 月，在 Google Scholar、PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science 和 APA PsycArticles 中进行了搜索。本综述遵循最新版本的系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南。
进行的搜索确定了 40 项研究，这些研究调查了通过 TEIQue 儿童形式测量的儿童情绪智力。关键发现涵盖了与儿童个性的情绪方面相关的几个主题，例如他们的内部和人际关系、学校生活、认知和创造力。
本系统综述表明，通过 TEIQue 儿童形式测量的特质情绪智力提供了可靠的结果和有效性，因为它与关键的儿童变量有关。本综述还通过突出当前研究的局限性来为儿童特质情绪智力主题的未来研究提供指导，以避免产生误导性的研究结果。
