From research on determinants of emotional competencies

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the research on the relations between emotional competencies and selected intellectual abilities along with temperament traits postulated by Jan Strelau’s Regulative Theory of Temperament. The subjects were adults at the age from 19 to 39. Emotional competencies was measured with the PKIE (Popular Questionnaire of Emotional Intelligence, by Jaworowska and Matczak, 2005), emotional ability – with the test TRE (Emotion Understanding Test, by Matczak & Piekarska, 2011), social and verbal abilities by tests selected from the APIS-Z battery (by Matczak, Jaworowska, Ciechanowicz, & Stańczak, 2006), and temperament traits by the FCZ-KT questionnaire (Formal Characteristics of Behaviour, by Zawadzki & Strelau, 1997). Weak connections of emotional competencies with social and emotional abilities were found. The relation between emotional competencies and temperament traits appeared to be stronger, especially those for activity and briskness (positive), and emotional reactivity (negative). Additionally, the interesting differences in the results, depending on the subjects’ gender and the type of competencies (connected with experiential and strategic emotional intelligences) were also found.
