This study investigates differences in meta-emotional beliefs and meta-emotional intelligence between preadolescents and adolescents with cochlear implants (CIs) and their typically hearing (TH) peers.
The sample included 86 participants aged 10-18 years, evenly divided between those with CIs and TH individuals. The IE-ACCME test, a multi-method tool, was used to assess meta-emotional intelligence. Statistical analyses were carried out to compare meta-emotional intelligence dimensions between CIs and TH groups.
The findings reveal that the CIs group had significantly higher overall meta-emotional belief scores, suggesting that individuals with CIs perceive emotions as playing a more significant role in their lives. Despite this, no significant differences were found in subscales related to emotion perception, comprehension, and management, indicating similar beliefs across both groups. However, the CIs group scored higher on the facilitation subscale, reflecting stronger beliefs about using emotions to enhance thinking. Additionally, the CIs group tended to overestimate their emotional abilities, both in everyday life and in emotional ability tests.
CIs group exhibited heightened meta-emotional beliefs and a tendency to overestimate their emotional abilities, reflecting a distinct meta-emotional intelligence profile linked to hearing loss and cochlear implantation. These findings suggest a distinct emotional profile for individuals with CIs, highlighting the need for targeted emotional and meta-emotional skills training.
本研究调查了植入人工耳蜗（CI）的青春期前儿童和青少年与其听力正常（TH）的同龄人在元情绪信念和元情绪智力方面的差异。
样本包括86名年龄在10 - 18岁之间的参与者，人工耳蜗植入者和听力正常个体各占一半。使用IE - ACCME测试这一多方法工具来评估元情绪智力。进行统计分析以比较人工耳蜗植入者组和听力正常组之间的元情绪智力维度。
研究结果显示，人工耳蜗植入者组的总体元情绪信念得分显著更高，这表明人工耳蜗植入者认为情绪在他们的生活中发挥着更重要的作用。尽管如此，在与情绪感知、理解和管理相关的子量表上未发现显著差异，表明两组的信念相似。然而，人工耳蜗植入者组在促进子量表上得分更高，反映出他们对利用情绪增强思维有更强的信念。此外，人工耳蜗植入者组在日常生活和情绪能力测试中往往高估自己的情绪能力。
人工耳蜗植入者组表现出更高的元情绪信念以及高估自己情绪能力的倾向，反映出与听力损失和人工耳蜗植入相关的独特元情绪智力特征。这些发现表明人工耳蜗植入者具有独特的情绪特征，凸显了针对性情绪和元情绪技能训练的必要性。
