Abstract
The current study used a combination of person – and variable-centered statistical approaches to investigate the association between the big five personality dimensions and trait emotional intelligence. Undergraduate (n = 439) and graduate (n = 460) students completed the MINI-IPIP Inventory and Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale. Latent profile analysis results based on z-scored personality dimensions revealed five unique personality profiles, including undercontroller, anti-resilient, ordinary, resilient, and socially oriented worrier. Subsequent latent profile analyses using residualized personality dimensions to account for the influence of the general factor of personality revealed three unique profiles, including undercontrollers, overcontrollers, and ordinary. Follow-up group comparisons indicated that members of the identified profiles exhibited meaningful differences in emotional intelligence dimensions, including appraisal of one's own and other emotions, regulation of one's own and other emotions, and utilization of emotion scores. Our discussion focuses on the patterns in trait emotional intelligence responding within each profile and implications for efforts to improve overall emotional intelligence.
期刊介绍:
Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
