A part of validation data gathered within the longitudinal study on the development of emotional intelligence (EI) will be presented. The study examines the latent relationships among the two ability-based EI measures their correlates during early adolescence. The validity evidence will be demonstrated on the performance-based instruments designed to measure understanding and regulation of emotions, as generally recognized dimensions within ability-based models. Bearing in mind previous findings on low discriminant validity of the instruments when administered on early adolescent samples, the present study focused on the age related differences in the latent relationships among the EI dimensions, as well as between emotional intelligence and other performance measures. Latent state-trait framework (LST ; Steyer at al., 1992, 2015) was applied to examine the structure of relationships among the specified emotional intelligence and cognitive reasoning latent variables. The analyses are based on panel data collected in two time points, six months apart, with adolescent samples of primary school students. Multi-sample structural equation analyses showed that the structure of observed relationships among the specified latent trait measures examined was contingent upon the cohorts or age of students. However, the results could not be interpreted in terms of differentiation of abilities hypothesis, at least when speaking of emotion understanding latent dimension. The implications of the results in terms of reaching more accurate estimates of relationships among the constructs of interest and thus more convincing convergent and discriminant validity evidence will be discussed. |
