Appendix A: Standardization, Reliability, and Validity Tables

Table A.32. EQ-i 2.0 Scores by Racial/Ethnic Group in the Normative Sample

The following table displays means and standard deviations of the EQ-i 2.0 Total EI score, composite scales, and subscales in the Black, Hispanic/Latino, and White participants from the EQ-i 2.0 normative sample. F values provide statistical significance tests for the overall differences among racial/ethnic groups. Partial η2 values provide an effect size for describing the overall effect of race/ethnicity as small, medium, or large. Partial η2 values between .01 and .06, as found in the EQ-i 2.0 normative sample, suggest that any racial/ethnic differences in EQ-i 2.0 scores are small.

Note. Samples sizes vary due to missing data: Black, N = 419, Hispanic/Latino, N = 433, White, N = 2,831–2,834. All F-test values significant at p < .001. Guidelines for evaluating partial η2 are .01 = small; .06 = medium; .14 = large.
