“…This is similar with EQ but less significant differences compared to IQ (Jausovec & Jausovec, 2005). According to Ciarrochi, Chan, and Caputi (as cited in Craig et al, 2009), females had consistently higher EEG activity scores across all cortical sites, and they are superior in verbal recall scores than males. Verbal recall capacity has been linked to an ability to express one's emotions and relate to others.…”

“…Previous literature has shown that sex was a significant predictor of EI, and typically, women are better than men at managing their emotions. To illustrate, empirical evidence confirmed a higher EI ability in women than in men, by adopting self-report measures of EI (Craig et al, 2009;Petrides & Furnham, 2000b). Similar results have also been found when EI ability measures-that is, MSCEIT-have been used, where women tend to score higher than men (Brackett, Mayer, & Warner, 2004;Extremera, Fernández-Berrocal, & Salovey, 2006;Kafetsios, 2004;Mayer et al, 2002;Salguero et al, 2012).…”

The main aim of the current study was to provide evidence regarding the relationship between emotions communication ability--in terms of emotional intelligence (EI)--and psychological well-being. Additionally, the study explored the moderating effect of sex on this relationship. Participants filled in the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test, General Health Questionnaire, Psychological General Well-Being Index, and Depression Questionnaire. Results showed the moderating role of sex in the relationship between EI ability and psychological well-being. Furthermore, the associations between EI and psychological well-being measures were generally higher for men than for women, supporting the idea that sex needs to be taken into account when considering EI measures. The potential helpfulness of EI and emotions communications ability in promoting mental health is discussed.

“…These scales typically ask individuals to report on their ability to identify emotions in themselves and others and their propensity to use emotional information in interactions with others, but they also frequently include broader items related to individuals’ self concepts or self-esteem. As such, trait EI scales often show significant positive correlations with other personality traits, such as agreeableness (Bar-On, 1997) or conscientiousness (Craig et al, 2009), and general psychological well-being (Brackett & Mayer, 2003; Mayer et al, 2008). …”

The expression, recognition, and communication of emotional states are ubiquitous features of the human social world. Emotional intelligence (EI) is defined as the ability to perceive, manage, and reason about emotions, in oneself and others. Individuals with psychopathy have numerous difficulties in social interaction and show impairment on some emotional tasks. Here we investigate the relation between emotional intelligence and psychopathy in a sample of incarcerated men (n=374), using the Psychopathy Checklist—Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 2003) and the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT; Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2002). The MSCEIT is a well-validated ability-based emotional intelligence measure that does not rely on self-report judgments of emotional skills. The Hare PCL-R is the gold-standard for the assessment of psychopathy in clinical populations. Controlling for general intelligence, psychopathy was associated with lower emotional intelligence. These findings suggest individuals with psychopathy are impaired on a range of emotional intelligence abilities and that emotional intelligence is an important area for understanding deficits in psychopathy.
