Trait Emotional Intelligence (TEI) measured by the TEIQue-Child Form (TEIQue-CF) is a valid and reliable tool for assessing children aged 8-13. This systematic review confirms its links to important childhood outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Child Development
- Emotional Intelligence
Background:
- Assessing psychological constructs in children requires consideration of developmental factors.
- The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Child Form (TEIQue-CF) is based on trait Emotional Intelligence theory for primary-aged children.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the scientific literature on the TEIQue-CF, its short form (TEIQue-CSF), and translated versions.
- To identify key outcomes predicted by these measures in children aged 8-13 years.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature search was conducted in major academic databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, APA PsycArticles) in June 2024.
- The review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Main Results:
- Forty studies investigating child emotional intelligence using TEIQue child forms were identified.
- Key findings relate to intra- and interpersonal relationships, school life, cognition, and creativity.
Conclusions:
- Trait Emotional Intelligence, as measured by TEIQue child forms, is reliable and valid, correlating with significant childhood variables.
- This review offers guidance for future research by identifying limitations and avoiding misleading findings.
