Description
The current project is a proposal for a study that will help clarify the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and trait emotional intelligence (TEI) and assess how achievement motivation relates to TEI. Participants will be adults recruited from social media and the Lindenwood Participant Pool. Variables will be measured through questionnaires on Qualtrics. Correlational analyses will be conducted to assess the relationship between personality traits and TEI as well as the relationship between achievement motivation and TEI. Additionally, t-tests will be conducted to evaluate the relationship between TEI and both exposure to childhood discussions of emotion and current comfort in discussing emotions. Understanding how personality relates to one’s capacity to interact with others regarding emotions can be applied to individual personal development. Identifying relationships between TEI and specific traits may clarify who interventions would most benefit and allow tailoring to those who are most in need.
