Part V: creating the EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 2.0

UK and Ireland Norms

EQ 360 2.0 UK and Ireland Introduction

The release of the UK and Ireland Norm for the EQ 360 2.0 provides users with the ability to score their clients against data collected from these countries. Research has found that self and others’ ratings are influenced by cultural characteristics (Atwater et al., 2009). Further, the discrepancy in self-observer ratings can be predicted by cultural values (Eckert et al., 2010). The UK and Ireland General Population norm for the EQ 360 allows consultants to obtain 360 feedback scores that are more relevant to the UK and Ireland cultural characteristics. (The original North American normative sample for the EQ 360 is described in detail in Standardization, Reliability, and Validity.)

The following sections describe the psychometric properties of the UK and Ireland norms for the EQ 360 2.0, including standardisation, reliability, and validity.

All tables and figures representing detailed depictions of the analyses described in this chapter are available in Appendix C.
