          Abstract

          Abstract This paper analyses Emotional Intelligence (EI) in Colombian Primary School Children depending on their location (rural or urban) and gender. The final sample consisted of 1451 students in fourth and fifth grade of three provinces in the Boyacá department. Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version ([EQ-i: YV]; Bar-On & Parker, 2000) was used for data collection. Both the reliability and validity of EQ-i: YV have been determined for this sample. The main results revealed differences in EI according to location. Overall, EI was higher in urban than in rural settings. Also, scores on the interpersonal and adaptability dimensions differed by gender. Additionally, the need for future research and development of Social and Emotional Learning programs in schools is discussed.

          Resumen Este artículo analiza la Inteligencia Emocional (IE) de niños colombianos de educación primaria en función de su contexto (rural o urbano) y género. La muestra final fue de 1451 estudiantes de cuarto y quinto curso de tres provincias del departamento de Boyacá. Se empleó el Inventario de Cociente Emocional: versión para jóvenes ([EQ-i: YV]; Bar-On & Parker, 2000) para la recogida de información. Tanto la fiabilidad como la validez del EQ-i: YV fueron determinados para esta muestra. Los resultados principales revelaron diferencias en la IE de acuerdo con el contexto. En general, la IE fue más alta en el contexto urbano que en el rural. Además, las puntuaciones en las dimensiones interpersonal y adaptabilidad diferían según el género. Adicionalmente, la necesidad de futuras investigaciones y el desarrollo de programas de aprendizaje socio-emocional en las escuelas son discutidas.

            Emotional Intelligence: Toward Clarification of a Concept

            There has been much confusion and controversy concerning the concept of emotional intelligence (EI). Three issues have been particularly bothersome. The first concerns the many conflicting definitions and models of EI. To address this issue, I propose that we distinguish between definitions and models and then adopt a single definition on which the major theorists already seem to agree. I further propose that we more clearly distinguish between EI and the related concept of emotional and social competence (ESC). The second issue that has generated concern is the question of how valid existing measures are. After reviewing the research on the psychometric properties of several popular tests, I conclude that although there is some support for many of them, they all have inherent limitations. We need to rely more on alternative measurement strategies that have been available for some time and also develop new measures that are more sensitive to context. The third area of contention concerns the significance of EI for outcomes such as job performance or leadership effectiveness. Recent research, not available to earlier critics, suggests that EI is positively associated with performance. However, certain ESCs are likely to be stronger predictors of performance than EI in many situations. Also, EI is likely to be more important in certain kinds of situations, such as those involving social interaction or significant levels of stress. Context makes a difference.
