Table A.10. Age Differences in EQ-i 2.0 Scores

The following table provides means and standard deviations for the EQ-i 2.0 Total EI score, composite scales, and subscales for the various age groups in the EQ-i 2.0 normative sample. F and p values convey the statistical significance of age differences. p values less than .01, which were found for many EQ-i 2.0 composite scales and subscales, suggest an overall difference among the age groups.

Scale

(N = 800)		 50–59
(N = 800)		 60+
(N = 799)		 F
