Abstract:
The aim of the study was to examine relationship between personality and emotional intelligence in two groups. The first group included patients hospitalized for suicide attempts in the Department of Clinical Toxicology CMUJ, the second one included ethanol dependent patients hospitalized in detoxification unit. The study included 103 persons: 52 in the study group of patients after suicidal attempt and 51 in the ethanol dependent patients group. Personality was described according to the one of most popular concepts--Costa and McCrae's Big Five Model, including five major factors: neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness. The second problem discussed in this study was emotional intelligence understood as ability to follow one's own and others' emotions, differentiate them and use this information in directing one's own thinking and action. In this study Costa and McCrae's Five-Factor Inventory (NEO) and N. S. Schutte's Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire were used. The analysis of their results in our two groups confirmed the hypothesis of relationship between emotional intelligence and personality.
