ABSTRACT

The social functioning of adults with Down Syndrome (DS) specially influences their quality of life. Emotional intelligence (EI) plays a key role in social outcomes because it is defined as a variety of social and emotional skills that enable people to be more effective in their personal and social lives. Thus, validated EI tests for use among adults with DS must be reliable. This study aimed to evaluate psychometric properties of the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (EQ-i:YV) in adults with DS. A two-stage cross-sectional investigation was conducted. First, a pilot study (n = 10) was performed to test internal consistency and item analysis of the subscales; second, exploratory (n = 90) and confirmatory (n = 96) factor analyses were carried out. The 5-factor structure of the EQ-i:YV was confirmed: general mood, stress management, adaptability, interpersonal and intrapersonal. The internal consistency (alpha and split halves) of all five dimensions and the total calculated score of the EQ-i:YV yielded high values. This new version of the EQ-i:YV represents a valid and reliable tool to assess EI in Spanish adults with DS.

唐氏综合症成人情绪能力的初步研究

摘要

患有唐氏综合症 (DS) 的成年人的社会功能特别影响他们的生活质量。情商 (EI) 在社会结果中起着关键作用,因为它被定义为使人们在个人和社交生活中更有效的各种社交和情感技能。因此,在 DS 成人中使用的经过验证的 EI 测试必须是可靠的。本研究旨在评估成年 DS 患者 Bar-On 情商量表:青年版 (EQ-i:YV) 的心理测量特性。进行了两阶段的横断面调查。首先,进行了一项试点研究(n = 10)以测试子量表的内部一致性和项目分析;其次,进行了探索性(n = 90)和验证性(n = 96)因素分析。EQ-i:YV 的 5 因子结构得到确认:一般情绪、压力管理、适应能力、人际交往和人际关系。所有五个维度的内部一致性(alpha 和拆分两半)和 EQ-i:YV 的总计算得分产生了高值。这个新版本的 EQ-i:YV 代表了评估西班牙 DS 成人 EI 的有效且可靠的工具。
