Brief Emotional Intelligence Inventory for Senior Citizens (EQ-i-M20).

Background: In recent years, diverse studies have been carried out revealing many benefits of high levels of Emotional Intelligence (EI) for the older population, affecting their physical and mental health, cognitive capacity, social functioning, and, ultimately, their well-being and quality of life. However, in Spain, there is no reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of EI. Hence, the goal of this work is the adaptation of the Emotional Intelligence Inventory: Young Version to the population of older university students.
