Abstract

We tested the hypothesis that structural integration, as assessed in the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis (OPD) system, and emotional intelligence (EI), as studied in personality psychology, might be closely related constructs at a general level, as both might assess general personality functioning. In three studies (n₁ = 166, n₂ = 204, n₃ = 349), we used a self-report measure of OPD structural integration and measures of Trait and Ability EI. Structural integration and Trait EI display very high correlation at general factor level (r = .77 - .82) and almost perfect latent correlation (r = .85 - .90). This correlation cannot be explained away by the general positivity of self-views or socially desirable responding. There is also substantial latent correlation between structural integration and Ability EI (r = .20 - .65). Results replicate over different samples from different countries and extend to the DSM-5 self-report personality functioning scale.

 抽象的

我们测试了这样的假设：操作化心理动力学诊断（OPD）系统中评估的结构整合和人格心理学中研究的情绪智力（EI）可能在一般水平上是密切相关的结构，因为两者都可以评估一般人格功能。在三项研究（ n ₁ = 166、 n ₂ = 204、 n ₃ = 349）中，我们使用了 OPD 结构整合的自我报告测量以及特质和能力 EI 的测量。结构整合和特质 EI 在一般因素水平上表现出非常高的相关性 ( r = .77 - .82) 和几乎完美的潜在相关性 ( r = .85 - .90)。这种相关性不能用自我观点或社会期望反应的普遍积极性来解释。结构整合与能力 EI 之间也存在显着的潜在相关性 ( r = .20 - .65)。结果在来自不同国家的不同样本中得到重复，并扩展到 DSM-5 自我报告人格功能量表。
