Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) has been one of the topics with the most repercussion in the last decades in the fields of psychology and education, but its relationship with the academic performance of students has generated a lot of controversy in scientific research. The objective of the present study was to check the EI profiles of students when they finished primary school, and if there were any differences in the grade point average (GPA) between the EI profiles. The sample consisted of 1253 students (681 males; 572 females) from Tenerife (Spain) in the 6th grade of primary education, with an age range between 10 to 13 years old. The students’ EI was evaluated with the Emotional Quotient Inventory Young Version (EQi-YV). Academic performance was obtained from end-of-course grades. Cluster analysis identified the existence of five EI profiles at the end of primary education. There were no statistically significant differences in the GPA between the five groups of students, and trait EI had no influence on performance. These findings are in line with other research that questions the existence of a significant positive relationship between trait EI and academic performance.

小学教育结束时的情绪智力状况和学习成绩

情商是近几十年来心理学和教育领域最受关注的话题之一，但它与学生学习成绩的关系在科学研究中引发了很多争议。本研究的目的是检查学生在小学毕业时的EI档案，以及EI档案之间的平均绩点（GPA）是否存在任何差异。样本包括1253名来自特内里费岛（西班牙）的小学六年级学生（681名男性；572名女性），年龄在10至13岁之间。采用青年版情商量表（EQi-YV）对学生的情商进行评价。学习成绩是从期末成绩中得出的。聚类分析发现，小学教育结束时存在五个EI档案。五组学生的GPA没有统计学上的显著差异，特质EI对成绩没有影响。这些发现与其他研究一致，这些研究质疑特质EI与学习成绩之间是否存在显著的正相关关系。

期刊介绍： Revista latinoamericana de Psicología (RLP) is a four month publication from Konrad Lorenz Fundación Universitaria. The RLP evaluates works that belong to one of the following categories: original papers (with empiric and new information) of many psychology fields (regardless of the methodology used) or qualitative/quantitative systematic reviews. Eventually it will be interested on works’ revision related to the development psychology tools or softwares, original methodology papers and researches which evaluate psychology from scientometry. The RLP is not interested in publishing non-systematic reviews or states of the art, case studies, protocols studies, hypothesis or papers proposals, letters, commentaries or essays, opinions articles, politics documents nor other sort of secondary literature. Traditionally, there have been monographics, books’ reviews and “others” published in “Mundo de la Psicología”, nevertheless these modalities will not be considered.
