  • 1.  EI scale?

    Posted 01-04-2013 22:33
    Good evening all,

    Is anyone aware of any reasonably good Emotional Intelligence measures that are in the public domain?  I have used ECI-U in the past, but that was when I had a budget for it!  I would like to find such a measure to use in our graduate OB class at SJU, but didn't find anything in the RMD methods chest, or in a google search.

    Many thanks for any leads you can offer.

    Hi Lucy

     

    You will find public domain measures at the Emotional Intelligence Consortium site http://www.eiconsortium.org/.  See also the Emonet (Emotions at Work Network) http://www.emotionsnet.org and ISRE (International Society for Research Emotion) http://isre.org sites on for more resources and links to other emotions-related sites.  You may also be interested in the new "Situational" measures (McCann, C., & Roberts, Richard D. 2008.  New paradigms for assessing emotional intelligence: Theory and data. Emotion, 8, 540-551.  If you are interested in EI in teams, a short version of the WEIP (Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile) can be found in Jordan, P. J., & Lawrence, S. A. 2009.

    Hi Lucy,

    Like Neal, I can also recommend the Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile. I've used it and it is an excellent predictor of leadership emergence. It works well is group settings like classrooms and student teams.

    Take care,

    Ron

  • 5.  EI scale?

    Posted 01-06-2013 16:10
    Hi Ron (Lucy):

    First happy new year to you (and all).

    Ron, I am surprised by your statement that the WEIP is "excellent predictor of leadership emergence."

    I don't know of this measure and would be quite surprised seeing it demonstrate incremental validity beyond the "usual suspects", that is the big five personality model as well as general intelligence (a full measure), and this in a relatively large-scale study using a design that has no common-method variances issues, models nesting appropriately, and corrects for measurement error (and has no other endogeneity issues, etc.).

    Lucy--and if this has to do with leadership--here is some context for what I say:

    Antonakis, J. (2011). Predictors of leadership: The usual suspects and the suspect traits. Sage Handbook of Leadership. A. Bryman, D. Collinson, K. Grint, B. Jackson and M. Uhl-Bien. Thousand Oaks, Sage Publications: 269-285.

    You can see different sides of the issue in an "adversarial collaboration" here:

    Antonakis, J., Ashkanasy, N. M., & Dasborough, M. T. (2009). Does leadership need emotional intelligence? The Leadership Quarterly, 20(2), 247-261.

    By the way, the only meta-analysis I know of looking at EIs relationship with leadership shows no incremental validity for EI measures (and very weak results in any case when using data from different sources, even when not controlling for the "usual suspects").

    Harms, P. D. and M. Cred� (2010). "Emotional Intelligence and Transformational and Transactional Leadership: A Meta-Analysis." Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies 17(1): 5-17.

    Harms, P. D. and M. Cred� (2010). "Remaining Issues in Emotional Intelligence Research: Construct Overlap, Method Artifacts, and Lack of Incremental Validity." Industrial and Organizational Psychology 3(2): 154-158.

    Although I have somewhat more confidence in ability-type measures (and "somewhat" in this case does not mean much), the current "gold standard" measure (MSCEIT) has several issues. Here is a recent review discussing the MSCEIT:

    Maul, A. (2012). "The Validity of the Mayer�Salovey�Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) as a Measure of Emotional Intelligence." Emotion Review 4(4): 394-402.

    Best,
    J.

  • 6.  EI scale?

    Posted 01-06-2013 21:48
    John,

    Thank you. Very interesting information. I have the Handbook but have not read that particular chapter. I clearly must! I haven't really followed the literature on EI as I have never considered using it in my research. 

    I am sure the big 5 and IQ are the dominant predictors, but in this context I am not really concerned about incremental predictive validity.   I am looking for something for use with grad students, for one of our profs.  I have in the past found EI to be a useful mechanism for getting students to really think about where they are in terms of self-awareness etc, and a little easier for them to get their head around in terms of their own development. I have typically combined it with instructions for the students to discuss their results with others to attempt to uncover perception gaps.  Along with other assessments as well. 

    I couldn't help with an instrument though as I have never used in the public domain. Always having had the budget to just buy the instruments from a publisher in the past.

  • 8.  EI scale?

    Posted 01-07-2013 03:37
    Hi Lucy:

    For my EMBA students, and when I do executive education, I find that the NEO-PI or the HEXACO (http://hexaco.org/ which can be used freely for research; see also the BFI, which is freely available: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~johnlab/bfi.htm), do a great job in helping students understand their strengths and weakness in terms of traits and how traits may affect social interactions across contexts.

    There is a substantial component of "self-awareness" and "social-skills" in these scales, whether in the "openness", "agreeableness", or "extraversion" domains (and these are the "old kids" on the block--i.e., there is no point in reinventing the wheel).  And these scales do a reasonably good job in predicting leader emergence or effectiveness:

    Judge, T. A., Bono, J. E., Ilies, R., & Gerhardt, M. W. (2002). Personality and leadership: A qualitative and quantitative review. Journal of Applied Psychology, 87(4), 765-780.

    John,

    Thank you. Very interesting information. I have the Handbook but have not read that particular chapter. I clearly must! I haven't really followed the literature on EI as I have never considered using it in my research. 

    I am sure the big 5 and IQ are the dominant predictors, but in this context I am not really concerned about incremental predictive validity.   I am looking for something for use with grad students, for one of our profs.  I have in the past found EI to be a useful mechanism for getting students to really think about where they are in terms of self-awareness etc, and a little easier for them to get their head around in terms of their own development. I have typically combined it with instructions for the students to discuss their results with others to attempt to uncover perception gaps.  Along with other assessments as well. 

    I couldn't help with an instrument though as I have never used in the public domain. Always having had the budget to just buy the instruments from a publisher in the past.

    Hi Ron (Lucy):

    First happy new year to you (and all).

    Ron, I am surprised by your statement that the WEIP is "excellent predictor of leadership emergence."

    I don't know of this measure and would be quite surprised seeing it demonstrate incremental validity beyond the "usual suspects", that is the big five personality model as well as general intelligence (a full measure), and this in a relatively large-scale study using a design that has no common-method variances issues, models nesting appropriately, and corrects for measurement error (and has no other endogeneity issues, etc.).

    Lucy--and if this has to do with leadership--here is some context for what I say:

    Antonakis, J. (2011). Predictors of leadership: The usual suspects and the suspect traits. Sage Handbook of Leadership. A. Bryman, D. Collinson, K. Grint, B. Jackson and M. Uhl-Bien. Thousand Oaks, Sage Publications: 269-285.

    You can see different sides of the issue in an "adversarial collaboration" here:

    Antonakis, J., Ashkanasy, N. M., & Dasborough, M. T. (2009). Does leadership need emotional intelligence? The Leadership Quarterly, 20(2), 247-261.

    By the way, the only meta-analysis I know of looking at EIs relationship with leadership shows no incremental validity for EI measures (and very weak results in any case when using data from different sources, even when not controlling for the "usual suspects").

    Harms, P. D. and M. Credé (2010). "Emotional Intelligence and Transformational and Transactional Leadership: A Meta-Analysis." Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies 17(1): 5-17.

    Harms, P. D. and M. Credé (2010). "Remaining Issues in Emotional Intelligence Research: Construct Overlap, Method Artifacts, and Lack of Incremental Validity." Industrial and Organizational Psychology 3(2): 154-158.

    Although I have somewhat more confidence in ability-type measures (and "somewhat" in this case does not mean much), the current "gold standard" measure (MSCEIT) has several issues. Here is a recent review discussing the MSCEIT:

    Maul, A. (2012). "The Validity of the Mayer–Salovey–Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) as a Measure of Emotional Intelligence." Emotion Review 4(4): 394-402.

    Best,
    J.

    Like Neal, I can also recommend the Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile. I've used it and it is an excellent predictor of leadership emergence. It works well is group settings like classrooms and student teams.

    Take care,

    Ron

    Hi Lucy

     

    You will find public domain measures at the Emotional Intelligence Consortium site http://www.eiconsortium.org/.  See also the Emonet (Emotions at Work Network) http://www.emotionsnet.org and ISRE (International Society for Research Emotion) http://isre.org sites on for more resources and links to other emotions-related sites.  You may also be interested in the new "Situational" measures (McCann, C., & Roberts, Richard D. 2008.  New paradigms for assessing emotional intelligence: Theory and data. Emotion, 8, 540-551.  If you are interested in EI in teams, a short version of the WEIP (Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile) can be found in Jordan, P. J., & Lawrence, S. A. 2009. Emotional intelligence in teams: Development and initial validation of the short version of the

    Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile (WEIP-S). Journal of Management & Organization, 15, 452-469.

    Good evening all,



    Is anyone aware of any reasonably good Emotional Intelligence measures that are in the public domain?  I have used ECI-U in the past, but that was when I had a budget for it!  I would like to find such a measure to use in our graduate OB class at SJU, but didn't find anything in the RMD methods chest, or in a google search.

    Many thanks for any leads you can offer.
