Measuring emotional intelligence in a Malaysian sample: an exploratory factor analysis

Schutte et al. (1998) membangunkan 33 item skala kecerdasan emosi yang didakwa bersifat unidimensional. Petrides dan Furnham (2006) telah menjalankan analisis faktor untuk skala yang berkenaan sama dan mendapati empat faktor yang mendasari skala. Kajian tentang kecerdasan emosi telah dijalankan d...
