Appendix A: Standardization, Reliability, and Validity Tables

Table A.45. Ratee Gender Differences in EQ 360 2.0 Scores

The following table provides means and standard deviations for the EQ 360 2.0 Total EI score, composite scales, and subscales for ratings of male and female ratees in the EQ 360 2.0 normative sample. F and p values convey the statistical significance of gender differences. p values less than .01, which were found for a few EQ 360 2.0 scales, suggest differences between male and female ratees.

Note. Sample sizes vary due to missing data: Males, N = 1,598–1,600; females, N = 1,599–1,600. df for F-tests = 1, 3190 (Total EI); 1, 3189 (composites); 1, 3187 (subscales). Positive d values represent higher mean scores in males, negative d values represent higher mean scores in females. Guidelines for evaluating |d| = .20 (small); .50 (medium); .80 (large).
