This study investigated the fakability of the Emotional Quotient Inventory Short Form (EQ-i:S), a mixed-model emotional intelligence test developed by Bar-On (2002). A sample of 229 undergraduate students from a southeastern university completed a battery of selection and assessment measures in both an honest and faking good condition. When responded to honestly, the EQ-i:S is predicted by The ...

we prove that rs-bl-algebras are mv-algebras.

let $mathcal{r}$ be a  commutative ring with identity, let $a$ and $b$ be two $mathcal{r}$-algebras and $varphi:blongrightarrow a$ be an $mathcal{r}$-additive algebra homomorphism. we introduce a new algebra $atimes_varphi b$, and give some basic properties of this algebra. generalized $2$-cocycle derivations on $atimes_varphi b$ are studied. accordingly, $atimes_varphi b$ is considered from th...

This paper reports on a head-to-head study of howRU and EQ-5D on patients with cardiovascular disease. howRU is a short generic measure of health-related quality of life comprising 39 words, designed for routine use, which we compare with EQ-5D (230 words). Patients attending a clinic completed both instruments. Completed data were available for 116 patients, 51% female, mean age 56 and SD 20. ...

Let $mathcal{R}$ be a  commutative ring with identity, let $A$ and $B$ be two $mathcal{R}$-algebras and $varphi:Blongrightarrow A$ be an $mathcal{R}$-additive algebra homomorphism. We introduce a new algebra $Atimes_varphi B$, and give some basic properties of this algebra. Generalized $2$-cocycle derivations on $Atimes_varphi B$ are studied. Accordingly, $Atimes_varphi B$ is considered from th...

The present study was conducted to investigate how EFL learners with distinct levels of emotional intelligence might benefit from Critical Thinking-based instruction and use different language learning strategies. A further concern of this study was to investigate the relationship among critical thinking, language learning strategy, and emotional intelligence of EFL learners. To this end, 88 EF...

BACKGROUND The impact on informal caregivers of caring for people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia can be substantial, but it remains unclear which measures(s) best assess such impact. Our objective was to use data from the GERAS study to assess the ability of the EuroQol 5-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D) to measure the impact on caregivers of caring for people with AD dementia and to exa...

OBJECTIVE To compare the responsiveness of the EQ-5D index (German and British tariff), the EQ-5D visual analogue scale (EQ VAS), and time trade-off (TTO) scores in schizophrenia, affective disorders, and alcohol addiction. METHODS We used a sample of 502 patients and examined the measures at baseline and after 14 months. We used the generic "WHO Quality of Life BREF" (WHOQOL) and the disorde...

BACKGROUND Some studies have reported a ceiling effect in EQ-5D-3L, especially in healthy and/or young individuals. Recently, two further levels have been included in its measurement model (EQ-5D-5L). The purposes of this study were (1) to assess the properties of the EQ-5D-5L in comparison with the standard EQ-5D-3L in a sample of young adults, (2) to foreground the importance of collecting qu...

OBJECTIVE We assessed the psychometric properties of a Singaporean Chinese version of the EQ-5D, a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive outpatients with rheumatic diseases seen for routine follow-up consultations at the National University Hospital, Singapore were interviewed twice within 2 weeks using a standardised questionnaire containing the...
