An undergraduate student sample from a Canadian university was utilized to investigate associations between each of these variables. Further, anxiety and perfectionism were combined into a model to predict ability EI, trait EI, and each of their four factors. Results indicated that anxiety and perfectionism were both more strongly associated with all trait EI variables than with ability EI variables, although anxiety was not related to Perceiving or Managing of the ability EI factors and perfectionism was not associated with any of the ability EI variables. The combination of anxiety and perfectionism predicted total trait EI, ability EI, all trait EI factors, and the ability EI factor Understanding emotions. However, perfectionism was only predictive of total trait EI and its factors Well-Being and Self-Control above and beyond anxiety. As this is one of the first studies to look at EI and perfectionism and to compare anxiety between EI conceptualizations, results provide an indication of associations between these variables and lay a foundation for further research directions. Implications of results are discussed.vi, 79 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
