N2  - The concurrent validity of two measures of Emotional Intelligence (EI), one considered a trait measure, the other an ability measure, was examined by administering the Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (EQi:YV; Bar-On & Parker, 2000), the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test: Youth Version (MSCEIT:YV; Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, in press), and a sociometric measure to 102 upper elementary students in the U.S. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients across various scores of the EI instruments ranged from −.02 (p >.05) to.39 (p <.01), suggesting the instruments are measuring somewhat different constructs. Scores on two sets of theoretically similar scales across instruments yielded significant correlation but others did not. <br><br>RESULTS from dependent t tests showed no significant difference between overall mean scores of the EQi:YV and MSCEIT:YV (p <.05). Only the Interpersonal and General Mood scales of the EQi:YV correlate significantly with the sociometric (p <.05). Implications for further research in EI are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
