【 摘 要 】

Trait Emotional Intelligence (Trait EI) theory was introduced by Petrides in 2001 and “describesour perceptions of our emotional world: what our emotional dispositions are and how good webelieve we are in terms of perceiving, understanding, managing, and utilizing our own and otherpeople’s emotions” (Petrides et al., 2018, p. 50). Although there are still different conceptualizations,models, and measures (self-reports or other-reports) of EI, so far only the Trait EI theory (seePetrides et al., 2007a,b; Mavroveli et al., 2009; Petrides D. et al., 2016; Petrides K. V. et al., 2016)offers a comprehensive scientific framework in which to interpret the diverse results of independentempirical research in a way consistent with the longstanding study of individual differences inpersonality and emotion throughout the lifespan (e.g., Revelle and Scherer, 2009).The present Research Topic consists of 28 accepted articles on various aspects of Trait EI thatstemmed from the collaboration of 97 authors.
