Abstract

Background: Measuring psychological constructs in children presents unique challenges, as careful consideration of children's cognitive and socioemotional development is needed. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Child Form (TEIQue-CF) was developed within the theoretical underpinnings of trait Emotional Intelligence theory and is predicated on primary aged children. This review aims to systematize the scientific literature on the TEIQue-CF, its corresponding short form, the TEIQue-CSF and the translated versions of these tools to identify the key outcomes predicted by these forms in children aged 8-13 years.

Method: A search was conducted in Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and APA PsycArticles in June 2024. This review was guided by the latest version of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Results: Conducted search identified 40 studies that investigated child emotional intelligence measured via TEIQue child forms. The key findings cover several topics related to the emotional aspects of children's personalities, such as their intra- and interpersonal relationships, school life, cognition, and creativity.

Conclusions: This systematic review revealed that trait Emotional Intelligence measured via the TEIQue child forms provide reliable results and is valid, as it has been linked to key childhood variables. This review also provides guidance for future research on the topic of trait Emotional Intelligence in children by highlighting current research limitations to avoid the likelihood of misleading research findings.

利用特质情绪智力问卷探索儿童的情绪智力：系统回顾。

背景：测量儿童心理结构是一项独特的挑战，因为需要仔细考虑儿童的认知和社会情感发展。特质情商问卷-儿童形式（TEIQue-CF）是在特质情商理论的基础上开发的，以小学年龄段的儿童为研究对象。本综述旨在系统整理有关 TEIQue-CF、其相应的简表、TEIQue-CSF 及其翻译版本的科学文献，以确定这些表格在 8-13 岁儿童中预测的主要结果：于 2024 年 6 月在 Google Scholar、PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science 和 APA PsycArticles 中进行了搜索。本综述以最新版《系统综述和元分析首选报告项目》（PRISMA）指南为指导：通过检索发现了 40 项研究，这些研究调查了通过 TEIQue 儿童表格测量的儿童情商。主要研究结果涵盖了与儿童个性情感方面有关的几个主题，如他们的人际关系、学校生活、认知和创造力：本系统综述显示，通过 TEIQue 儿童表格测量的特质情商结果可靠、有效，因为它与关键的儿童变量相关联。本综述还通过强调当前研究的局限性，为今后有关儿童特质情商这一主题的研究提供了指导，以避免研究结果产生误导。
