Sažetak
The study is focused on the analysis of intraindividual changes in emotional intelligence (EI) conceptualized within the ability-based model. Particular classes of structural equation models were applied to the study of correlates of inter- and intraindividual variations in the proposed performance based measures of the three EI dimensions. The data to be presented derive from the longitudinal study of EI development conducted in three time points on the sample of 517 primary school students aged 10 to 15 years. Following the assumptions of the latent state-trait theory (e.g. Steyer, et al., 1992), the degree to which variations in EI measures are due to individual dispositions and/or to occasion-related factors will be presented. Several single- and multi-construct latent state- trait models were tested against the EI data. According to the parameter estimates obtained, the portions of variance attributable to situational and/or interactional effects varied with the point of measurement and the EI operationalization used. Further, the true change modeling procedures (e.g., Steyer, Eid, and Schwenkmezer, 1997) employed confirmed the significant role of gender and cognitive ability measures as moderator and antecedents of interindividual differences in changes on EI measures, respectively.
