Construct and incremental validity of the Slovak version of trait emotional intelligence questionnaire - adolescent´s short form / Lada Kaliská, Eva Sollárová. 13. -- The study analyzes construct (convergent and discriminant) and incremental validity of trait emotional intelligence (EI) of the Slovak version of Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire – Adolescent´s Short Form (TEIQue-ASF) created by K.V. Petrides (2009) adapted to the Slovak conditions by Kaliská, Nábělková and Salbot (2015). The research sample consisted of 307 high school students (average age: 17.7 /SD=.46/). The validation tools: Ten-Item Personality Inventory – TIPI (Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003), Type D-personality – DS14 (Denollet, 2005), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory – STAI (adapted by Muller, Ruisel, & Farkaš, 1980), Rosenberg´s Self-esteem Scale – RSS (Rosenberg, 1965), Scale of Emotional Habitual Subjective Well-being – SEHP (Džuka & Dalbert, 2002) were used to examine trait EI construct and incremental validity by correlation and regression analyses. The results proved that high trait EI is positively correlated to personality and affect-related variables of self-confidence, emotional stability and extraversion and positive emotional state of mind (convergent validity) and negatively correlated to trait anxiety, type D-personality, self-depreciation and negative emotional state of mind (discriminant validity). Trait EI significantly predicts 2.8% of unique variance in trait anxiety after controlling for three variables supporting convergent validity and 1.2% of unique variance in trait anxiety after controlling for the variables supporting discriminant validity of trait EI in a sample of the Slovak high school adolescents.
