Emotional dispositions have been found to influence outcomes and have applications in many areas, such as in the clinical, health, social, educational, and organizational domains. Specifically, they may influence individuals’ addictive behaviour tendencies. The aim of this study was to investigate the convergent validity between two questionnaires measuring individual differences linked to emotional dispositions, the Profile of Emotional Competences (PEC) full-form, and the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) full-form. Examining the convergent validity will identify the similarities and the unique aspects of each questionnaire. Our hypotheses were based on relationships displaying large effect sizes (r > .50). A sample of 1026 participants took part in this study (M_age = 21.35 years old, age range = 18–30). Participants completed both the PEC and the TEIQue in a counterbalanced order. Results indicated large overlaps between the two questionnaires; however, two main differences emerged: first, the PEC allows capturing precisely the emotional dispositions at the intrapersonal and interpersonal levels, while the TEIQue mixes both levels; second, the competence “using emotions”, both for one’s own emotions and for others’ emotions, is not comprehensively reflected in the TEIQue. Overall, the PEC may help to capture more specifically the distinction between intrapersonal and interpersonal emotional competences. Future research should investigate comparatively the criterion validity of both questionnaires with specific outcome variables. Future research and applied work with addiction aiming at clarifying the implication of both intrapersonal and interpersonal emotional competences may consider to rather use the PEC than the TEIQue.

已经发现情绪倾向会影响结果并在许多领域中得到应用，例如在临床，健康，社会，教育和组织领域。具体来说，它们可能会影响个人的成瘾行为倾向。这项研究的目的是调查两份调查表之间的收敛效度，该调查表测量与情绪倾向有关的个体差异，完整的情绪能力档案（PEC）和完整的特质情绪智力问卷（TEIQue）。检查聚合效度将确定每个问卷的相似性和独特性。我们的假设是基于显示较大效应大小的关系（r  > .50）。1026名参与者的样本参加了本研究（M_年龄 = 21.35岁，年龄范围= 18–30）。参与者以平衡的顺序完成了PEC和TEIQue。结果表明两个问卷之间有很大的重叠。但是，出现了两个主要区别：首先，PEC可以精确地捕捉人际和人际两级的情感倾向，而TEIQue则将这两个层次混合在一起。其次，TEIQUE并未全面反映针对自己的情感和针对他人的情感的“使用情感”能力。总体而言，PEC可能有助于更具体地把握人际情感能力与人际情感能力之间的区别。未来的研究应该比较调查两个具有特定结果变量的问卷的标准有效性。
