This article analyses the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and academic performance, controlling for the effects of IQ, personality, and self-concept dimensions. A sample of 290 preadolescents (11-12 years old) took part in the study. The instruments used were (a) Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire—Adolescents Short Form (TEIQue-ASF); (b) Children’s Personality Questionnaire (CPQ; Form A, Part A); (c) IQ test TIDI-2; (d) Adaptation Questionnaire (CAI-1); and (e) academic performance. A positive and significant correlation coefficient between trait EI measured by the TEIQue-ASF and general academic performance was found. The TEIQue-ASF showed incremental validity to predict general academic performance, after controlling for intelligence, personality, and self-concept characteristics.

ResumenLa inteligencia emocional se ha relacionado con varias facetas del éxito personal y social como son el bienestar psicológico, el rendimiento académico entre otras. Las emociones y su regulación se aprenden desde la infancia y están influenciadas por el contexto más próximo. El presente trabajo tienen por objetivo estudiar la relación entre los estilos parentales e Inteligencia emocional de los padres y la IE de sus hijos/as en edades tempranas. Han participado un total de 83 niños escolarizados en 2º ciclo de educación infantil; 52 padres y 62 madres. Se han utilizado como medida de la IE de los niños: a) el Cuestionario de Bar-On y Parker (2002) para observadores que mide las habilidades interpersonales, intrapersonales, manejo del estrés, adaptabilidad y estado de ánimo; (b) Prueba de Percepción y Valoración de las emociones (PERCERVAL, Mestre, et al. 2011). Los adultos cumplimentaron un (a) cuestionario sobre su propia Inteligencia emocional adaptado de Bar-On (1997) y (b) un cuestionario sobre sus estilos parentales adaptado de Robinson, Mandleco, Olsen y Hart (1995) el cual mide la intensidad de dos estilos parentales: el democrático y el autoritario. Los resultados mostraron que el estilo parental se relaciona con la Inteligencia emocional de los padres. Los padres/madres con mayor inteligencia emocional tienden a mostrar un estilo democrático. A su vez, el estilo democrático de los padres/madres correlaciona en mayor medida con la IE de los niños. Se encontró además que dependiendo del estilo parental, los alumnos tienden a desarrollar más unas habilidades emocionales u otras, así, los niños con madres autoritarias tenían mayores habilidades interpersonales. AbstractEmotional intelligence has been related to several facets of personal and social success as are psychological well-being, academic performance among others. Emotions and its regulation are learned during childhood and that learning is affected by the closest context. The present study aims to study the relationship between parents’ emotional intelligence and parental styles and their children emotional intelligence in early ages. A total of 83 students, 52 parents and 62 mothers took part in this research. As measure of children emotional intelligence two instruments were used: (a) the questionnaire of Emotional Quotient designed by Bar-On and Parker (2002) to be completed by an observer (parents). This questionnaire asses the following abilities: interpersonal, intrapersonal, stress management, adaptability and general mood; and (b) Test of Perception and Assessment of Emotions (PERCERVAL, Mestre et al., 2011). Adults took two questionnaires: (a) an adaptation of Bar-On (1997) questionnaire to assess their own emotional intelligence; and (b) an adaptation of the Robinson et al (1995) questionnaire about parenting styles. This questionnaire assesses both: democratic and authoritarian styles. The obtained results point out that parents’ parental style is correlated with parents’ emotional intelligence. Parents’/ mothers’ with higher emotional intelligence tend to show a democratic parental style. In addition, a democratic style of parents’/mothers’ is correlated with a higher emotional intelligence of their children. Differences in emotional abilities were found deepening on the parental style; thus, children with authoritarian mothers tend to develop higher intrapersonal abilities.

Este trabajo ofrece una propuesta para implementar la teoría de las inteligencias múltiples (IM) en la identificación de alumnos de altas habilidades en Educación Secundaria. Para ello se analizó la estructura interna de tres escalas para la evaluación de las IM destinadas a alumnos, padres y profesores en una muestra de 566 alumnos nominados con altas habilidades de edades comprendidas entre los 11 y los 18 años (M = 14.85, DT = 1.08). Los resultados indicaron perfiles intelectuales diferenciados dependiendo del informante estimando las IM de los alumnos. Este estudio proporcionó evidencia de la existencia de dos componentes que permiten analizar la competencia cognitiva de los alumnos más allá de las dimensiones generalmente valoradas en la escuela: un componente académico que engloba las inteligencias lingüística, lógico-matemática, naturalista y viso-espacial; y un componente no académico que comprende las inteligencias corporal, musical y social. Finalmente, se discute la utilidad de las escalas de IM para identificar alumnos de altas habilidades en educación secundaria.

The aim of this study is to explore creativity in Spanish children during their early years and to explore differences regarding gender and age. We have used a sample of 285 children between five and seven years old. To measure their creativity we used the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT). We have used the test of figured expression that is orientated to evaluate the level of imagination in producing pictures. It consists of three subtests: making a picture; finishing a picture; and making different patterns using parallel lines. The abilities that are assessed with this test are: originality, which consists in considering innovative answers, neither familiar nor inappropriate; elaboration, which refers to the amount of detail the child adds to the picture with the aim of enriching it; flexibility, the variety of categories in the answers; and fluency or the number of pictures with titles (Torrance, 1966, 1974). The results show significant evidence of differences relating to gender and age.
