Abstract

Few studies have examined emotional intelligence (EI) following a person-centered approach to identify different types of EI profiles and their relationship to everyday life outcomes. Even rarer are those using an "ability" approach of EI (AEI) and related "performance-based" tests, which are considered promising. This study fills this gap by identifying AEI profiles and linking them to everyday outcomes such as health, wellbeing, and decision-making. The QEg ("QE" for Emotional Quotient - Quotient Emotional in French - and "g" for the general population), an ability-based measure of EI, along with other measures, was administered to 2,877 French adults. We then ran latent profile analysis (LPA) and identified three latent profiles within a heterogeneous population. The full emotion processing (FEP) profile outperforms the two others on key domains of life such as stress perception, home-work interaction, gratitude and satisfaction with life, emotional burnout prevention, and decision-making. Our research reveals the need for individualized AEI training programs tailored to three distinct profiles, addressing foundational skills for those with minimal or partial emotional processing while refining existing strengths for those with full emotional processing. Targeting interventions to specific profile characteristics could enhance the effectiveness of AEI training and promote improved wellbeing and life outcomes.

能力、情绪智力概况和现实生活结果：一个大成人样本的潜在概况分析。

很少有研究遵循以人为中心的方法来研究情绪智力（EI），以确定不同类型的EI概况及其与日常生活结果的关系。更罕见的是那些使用“能力”方法的EI （AEI）和相关的“基于表现”的测试，这被认为是有前途的。这项研究通过确定AEI概况并将其与健康、福祉和决策等日常结果联系起来，填补了这一空白。QEg（“QE”是情商的缩写，法语是情商，“g”是普通人群的缩写）是一种基于能力的情商测试，研究人员对2877名法国成年人进行了其他测试。然后，我们进行了潜在剖面分析（LPA），并在异质人群中确定了三个潜在剖面。在生活的关键领域，如压力感知、家庭作业互动、对生活的感激和满意度、情绪倦怠预防和决策方面，全面情绪处理（FEP）的表现优于其他两种。我们的研究表明，需要针对三种不同的情况量身定制个性化的AEI培训计划，为那些具有最小或部分情绪处理能力的人提供基本技能，同时为具有完全情绪处理能力的人完善现有的优势。针对特定特征的干预措施可以提高AEI培训的有效性，并促进改善的福祉和生活结果。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
