Table A.21. Correlations between EQ-i 2.0 and EQ-i

The following table illustrates correlations between the EQ-i scales and their corresponding EQ-i 2.0 Total EI Score, composite scales, and subscales. Values range from -1.00 to +1.00; values close to -1.00 represent an inverse relationship between scores on the two scales, values close to +1.00 represent a direct relationship, and values close to zero represent a lack of a relationship.  Shaded cells indicate constructs that were relatively unchanged from the EQ-i to the EQ-i 2.0. Unshaded cells indicate constructs that changed substantially from the EQ-i to the EQ-i 2.0. The high positive correlations found between the EQ-i and EQ-i 2.0 support the validity of the EQ-i 2.0.

Note. N = 101. All correlations are significant at p < .01. Guidelines for evaluating r are .10 = small, .30 = medium, .50 = large. N/A = not applicable.
