Table I.8. Effect Sizes for Gender and Age Effects in the EQ-i 2.0 Swedish Normative Sample

The following table summarizes the effect sizes for the effects of gender and age on the EQ-i 2.0 Total EI score, composite scales, and subscales in the Swedish normative sample. Meaningful effect sizes (i.e., |d| ≥ 0.20, partial η2 ≥ .01) suggest differences among participants based on the demographic variable.

The following table provides EQ-i 2.0 standard score scale means and standard deviations for men and women in the Swedish normative sample. F and p values convey the statistical significance of gender differences; p values lower than .01, which were found for several scales, indicate significant differences between men and women.

The following table provides EQ-i 2.0 standard score scale means and standard deviations for the various age groups in the Swedish normative sample.

Figure I.1. Histogram of EQ-i 2.0 Total EI Standard Scores in the Swedish Normative Sample

This figure illustrates the distribution of EQ-i 2.0 Total EI standard scores in the Swedish normative sample. The distribution of the actual scores closely approximates the normal “bell-shaped” curve (shown using the black curved line), which suggests that it is unnecessary to apply a normalizing transformation to the scores. Distributions for most other composite scales and subscales show a similar pattern, some with a slight negative skew.

Table I.11. Internal Consistency of EQ-i 2.0 Scales in the Swedish Normative Sample

The following table summarizes the internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) values for the EQ-i 2.0 scales in the Swedish normative sample, presented overall and separately by Gender and Age norm group. Alpha values range from 0.00 to 1.00. Higher values, like those found for most scales in the Swedish normative sample, provide evidence for strong reliability.

Table I.12. Correlations Among EQ-i 2.0 Composite Scales in the Swedish Normative Sample

The following table illustrates the correlations among the EQ-i 2.0 composite scales in the Swedish normative sample. The correlations seen here range from .38 to .71, with higher values suggesting the scales are interrelated and measure a common construct (i.e., emotional intelligence). Very high values (e.g., > .90) would suggest a unidimensional factor structure. Moderate to large correlations, like those found in the Swedish normative sample, support both the concept that the scales measure an underlying common construct, as well as the multidimensional factor structure of the EQ-i 2.0.

Table I.13. Correlations Among EQ-i 2.0 Subscales in the Swedish Normative Sample

The following table illustrates the correlations among the EQ-i 2.0 subscales in the Swedish normative sample. The correlations seen here range from |r| = .01 to .76, with higher values suggesting the scales share a relevant common psychological characteristic. Shaded cells indicate correlations between subscales within the same composite scale. Small to large correlations were found within the composite scales, supporting both the concept that the scales measure a common psychological characteristic, as well as the multidimensional factor structure of the EQ-i 2.0.

Most applications of the EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 2.0 in Sweden (and in other countries) are within professional contexts; as such, most of the data were collected about individuals with higher education levels.

The following table summarizes the effect sizes for the effects of the ratee’s gender and age, as well as rater type on the EQ 360 2.0 Total EI score, composite scales, and subscales in the Swedish normative sample. The results suggest some small to moderate effect sizes; however, in order to remain consistent with the EQ 360 2.0 norms used across the world, overall norms are used for the EQ 360 2.0 Swedish norms.
