Validation of the Arabic version of the Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been a widespread topic of scientific research and discussion among individuals and institutions over the last years, giving room for debate concerning its measurement and applications. One of the shortest, simplest, most economical and increasingly used self-report measures is the Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale (BEIS-10), whose validity and reliability have been demonstrated across diverse samples and contexts. The present study examined the psychometric properties of an Arabic translation of the BEIS-10 in a native Arabic-speaking population from Lebanon. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 449 non-clinical adults (median age = 21 years [min = 18; max = 70]; 70.6% females; median household crowding index = 1 [min = 0.14; max = 8]). The forward-backward translation approach was adopted to develop an Arabic version of the BEIS-10. We used data from the entire sample to perform a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using RStudio, "lavaan" and "SemTools" programs. We used the Weighted Least Squares with Mean and Variance (WLSMV) estimation method, which is more appropriate for ordinal data. Results: CFA indicated that although both the one-factor and five-factor models of the BEIS-10 demonstrated acceptable global fit indices, inspection of the five-factor solution revealed extremely high inter-factor correlations, several approaching unity, indicating poor discriminant validity among the proposed dimensions. Consequently, the unidimensional model of the Arabic BEIS-10 was retained, showing excellent internal consistency as evidenced by McDonald's Conclusion: Findings suggest that the Arabic BEIS-10 is a valid and reliable self-report measure for the assessment of EI in Arab settings. Considering its simple and brief administration, this version of the scale might be of better convenience in Arab settings beset by shortage of resources and financial turmoil. It also has practical implications as it enables research on EI in diverse cultural contexts, and enhances educational and workplace programs by tailoring emotional intelligence training to local needs.
