Appendix A: Standardization, Reliability, and Validity Tables

Table A.46. Ratee Age 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 the various rate age groups in the EQ 360 2.0 normative sample. F and p values convey the statistical significance of age differences. p values less than .01, which were found for a few EQ 360 2.0 scales, suggest a difference in scores among EQ 360 2.0 ratee age groups.
