Subclaims¶

q3 i? Mean effect size significantly varied according to EI test, Q(3) = 42.93, p < .001; the EQ-i test showed the highest correlation with academic success (r = .14). → Alabbasi Ahmed M. Abdulla 2023

Evidence¶

Alabbasi Ahmed M. Abdulla 2023¶

Alabbasi Ahmed M. Abdulla, Alabbasi Fatema A., AlSaleh Aseel, Alansari Ahmed M., Sequeira Reginald P. (2023). Emotional intelligence weakly predicts academic success in medical programs: a multilevel meta-analysis and systematic review. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-023-04417-8

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Moderator analysis within the three-level meta-analysis testing EI test as a categorical moderator. The EQ-i test was "highly correlated with academic success compared with other EI tests"; EQ-i r = .14, MSCEIT r = .10, SSEIT r = .11 (non-significant), other r = .09 per Table 3.

"Moderator analysis showed that the mean effect size significantly varied according to the EI test, Q(3) = 42.93, p < 0.001, and EI subscale, Q(3) = 18.87, p = 0.04"
