The aim of this study was to take a more in-depth look at the role of emotional intelligence (both self-reported and ability-based) and personality traits in life satisfaction, verifying the existence of incremental validity of the emotional intelligence dimensions over personality variables. Three hundred and twenty-six Italian nurses were given the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ), the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (Bar-On EQ-i) and the Mayer Salovey Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). The results highlight the influence exercised by personality and emotional intelligence on life satisfaction, underlining the role of emotional intelligence.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to take a more in-depth look at the role of emotional intelligence (both self-reported and ability-based) and personality traits in life satisfaction, verifying the existence of incremental validity of the emotional intelligence dimensions over personality variables. Three hundred and twenty-six Italian nurses were given the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ), the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (Bar-On EQ-i) and the Mayer Salovey Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). The results highlight the influence exercised by personality and emotional intelligence on life satisfaction, underlining the role of emotional intelligence.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
