(1998). Development and validation of a measure of emotional intelligence. Personality and Individual Differences, 25, 167-177. Normed Data based on: Nicola S. Schutte , John M. Malouff , Chad Bobik , Tracie D. Coston , Cyndy Greeson , Christina Jedlicka , Emily Rhodes & Greta Wendorf (2001). Emotional Intelligence and Interpersonal Relations, The Journal of Social Psychology, 141:4, 523-536, DOI: 10.1080/00224540109600569 To link to this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00224540109600569 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Participants work on 33 likert-type questions with 5 answer choices. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the default set-up of the script takes appr. 3 minutes to complete ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DATA FILE INFORMATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The default data stored in the data files are: (1) Raw data file: 'sseit.iqdat' date, time: date and time script was run with the current group/subjectnumber subject, group, session: with the current subject/groupnumber/session id build: the Inquisit build q*_response: response given (in assigned values) 1 = "Strongly~nDisagree" 2 = "Disagree" 3 = "Neither Agree nor Disagree" 4 = "Agree" 5 = "Strongly~nAgree" for reversed questions "R" (5, 28, 33): the scale automatically reverses q*_latency: how much time the participant spent on the surveypage with this particular question (the last time this particular surveypage was visited) (2) Summary data file: 'sseit_summary*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant) inquisit.version: Inquisit version run computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android) startDate: date script was run startTime: time script was started subjectid: assigned subject id number groupid: assigned group id number sessionid: assigned session id number elapsedTime: time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted); 1 = script was completed (all conditions run) (parameter) popMean: weighted mean for Emotional Intelligence across 5 experiments (Schutte et al, 2001) used as estimate for population mean = 133.36 (parameter) popSD: weighted standard deviation for Emotional Intelligence across 5 experiments (Schutte et al, 2001) used as estimate for population standard deviation = 12.83 SSEIT_totalscore: the sum of all response scores z: z-score of totalscore (uses weighted mean/weighted standard deviation based on 5 studies reported by Schutte et al, 2001, as estimates for population mean and standard deviation) percentile: percentile rank based on z-score ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ QUESTIONNAIRE SET-UP ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ * 33 questions with 5-point Likert scales 1 = "Strongly~nDisagree" 2 = "Disagree" 3 = "Neither Agree nor Disagree" 4 = "Agree" 5 = "Strongly~nAgree" for reversed questions (5, 28, 33) the scoring is reversed. * The individual anchors (and number of anchors) can be edited under section QUESTIONS (the changes need to be made for each radiobutton question). Only anchor 1 and 5 are original (the middle anchors were filled it by Millisecond Software). * a totalscore is calculated and saved in the summary data file * by default the questions are required to answer; to change go to section QUESTIONS ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INSTRUCTIONS ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Surveypage instructions can be edited under Editable Parameters -> parameters.pageinstructions NORMED DATA (see Schutte et al, 2001) Emotional Intelligence: mean SD N Exp1 126.88 12.18 24 Exp2 142.51 9.46 37 Exp3 132.84 12.37 77 Exp4 131.61 14.23 38 Exp5 131.56 15.67 43 total N 219 => weighted Mean = 133.36 => estimate for population mean for Emotional Intelligence Score => weighted SD = 12.83 => estimate for population standard deviation of Emotional Intelligence Scores ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EDITABLE CODE ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ check below for (relatively) easily editable parameters, stimuli, instructions etc. Keep in mind that you can use this script as a template and therefore always "mess" with the entire code to further customize your experiment. The parameters you can change are: /pageinstructions: the instructions that appear at the top of each surveypage /popMean: weighted mean for Emotional Intelligence across 5 experiments (Schutte et al, 2001) used as estimate for population mean = 133.36 /popSD: weighted standard deviation for Emotional Intelligence across 5 experiments (Schutte et al, 2001) used as estimate for population standard deviation = 12.83
