The major purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationships between two measures of emotional intelligence: performance-based ability test, self-reported measure of ability emotional intelligence, and transformational leadership. Base on a sample of 177 middle-level and low-level leaders, in 16 organizations, the study tries to explain the role of emotional intelligence in the variance of transformational leadership style, after controlling for cognitive ability and five factors of personality. Vocabulary Emotion Test (VET-3), representing performance-based ability test of emotional intelligence, and Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire (ESCQ-45), representing self-report measure of emotional intelligence, TN-10 test of fluid intelligence and BFI - inventory of personality traits were administered to all supervisors in identifying their emotional intelligence, cognitive ability and personality traits. To evaluate the transformational leadership style, the short version of a Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ X5) was used for 177 selfratings. The results show that VET-3 as the measure of ability EI has no relationship with transformational style. The results obtained in hierarchical regression analysis of self-ratings transformational leadership show that the personality traits were significant predictors but that selfreport measure of EI incrementally explained 5% of the variance of transformational leadership.
Depression is a state of low mood that can lead to several negative outcomes on thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and even physical state. With that in mind, it is important to detect individuals at risk of developing depressive symptoms early and identify protective factors. During the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents emerged as one of the most vulnerable groups, with deteriorated anxiety and depression due to imposed social isolation, reduced social activities, and concerns over household status, health, and peer support. Distance learning through public service broadcasts and online tools lasted for several months, posing the need for adjustment. This study aimed to assess emotional competence and coping styles as predictors of depression in a sample of adolescents. The study was conducted in-person on a sample of 142 high school students. A high percentage of participants reported above-average levels of depression (21.1% severely depressed). On average, girls reported higher levels of depression than boys (t = 3.86, p < 0.01). Gender differences were also found in emotion-focused coping and avoidance, with girls scoring higher on both (p < 0.05). However, there were no gender differences in problem-focused coping or emotional competence. Hierarchical regression analysis concluded that perceiving and understanding emotions, expressing and naming emotions, regulating emotions, and avoidance were significant predictors of depression. This regression model explained 53% of depression variance, with the regulation of emotions being the most powerful predictor (p < 0.01). No mediating effect of coping styles on the relationship between emotional competence and depression was found in this study.
Provedenim istraživanjem nastojao se utvrditi međusobni odnos rezultata mjerenja emocionalne inteligencije, njihove relacije s mjerom verbalnih i neverbalnih sposobnosti te dobi i spola sudionika. Ispitivanje je provedeno na uzroku od 500 sudionika, širokog raspona kronološke dobi (od 15 do 65 godina; prosjek 36,9 godina) te oba spola (M = 257; Ž = 243). Dobivena je značajna povezanost varijabli emocionalne inteligencije te spola i dobi sudionika. Drugim riječima, žene i stariji sudionici imaju više razine emocionalne inteligencije. Dob je povezana s višim rezultatima emocionalne inteligencije, a negativna je povezanost utvrđena između neverbalne inteligencije i dobi, odnosno u starijim dobnim skupinama uočene su značajno niže razine neverbalnih sposobnosti. Ključni nalaz odnosi se na činjenicu kako s dobi i iskustvom dolazi do poboljšanja rezultata na mjeri emocionalne inteligencije, posebno na složenijim granama kao što su razumijevanje i analiza emocija te refleksivnost i regulacija emocija. Navedeni rezultati te dobivene korelacije s verbalnim faktorom inteligencije, doprinose potvrdi tumačenja emocionalne inteligencije kao sposobnosti nasuprot stajalištu kako se radi o osobini ličnosti koja bi se trebala mjeriti skalama samoprocjene. Ključne riječi: verbalne i neverbalne sposobnosti, emocionalna inteligencija
Skala depresije D-92 (Krizmanić i Kolesarić, 1994) izvorni je hrvatski psihologijski instrument za mjerenje intenziteta simptoma depresivnosti u kliničkoj populaciji odraslih. Oslanjajući se na Beckovu teoriju nastanka i održavanja simptoma depresije, u skalu su uključene čestice kojim se ispituje odnos ispitanika prema sebi, prema drugim ljudima i prema budućnosti. U ovom radu provjerena je osjetljivost, pouzdanost, konvergentna i divergentna valjanost te sposobnost D-92 skale da diferencira ispitanike unutar klinički dijagnosticiranih skupina s depresivnim poremećajem, anksioznim poremećajima i drugim duševnim poremećajima. Ispitivanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku od 210 klinički dijagnosticiranih ispitanika s depresivnim, anksioznim poremećajem i drugim duševnim poremećajima pri procjeni radne sposobnosti. Ispitanici su popunjavali test kognitivnih sposobnosti, Crown-Crispov indeks iskustava i skalu depresije D-92. Rezultati istraživanja upućuju na vrlo dobru osjetljivost skale da razlikuje osobe prema broju i intenzitetu simptoma depresije u odabranom kliničkom uzorku u situaciji procjene radne sposobnosti (SD = 9,70). Unutrašnja konzistencija (α = 0,89) upućuje na zadovoljavajuću pouzdanost skale D-92. Konvergentna valjanost skale podržana je visokom korelacijom sa subskalom depresivnosti u CCII upitniku (r = 0,62). U korist divergentnoj valjanosti ne ide visoka korelacija s mjerama generalizirane anksioznosti (r = 0,62) i somatizirane anksioznosti (r = 0,55) na CCII upitniku. Univarijatna analiza varijance razlika u obilježju depresivnosti između skupina s različitim bolestima upućuje na to da je intersekcija raspodjele rezultata visoka pa ispitanici mogu pripadati u sve skupine bolesti. Ključne riječi: procjena radne sposobnosti, skala depresije D-92, psihometrijske karakteristike
