Trait Emotional Intelligence Within Personality Space: Latent Profiles and Psychosocial Adjustment in Preadolescence.
Article in Journal of Intelligence, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Emotional intelligence and personality traits are key dimensions of individual differences contributing to developmental adjustment. This cross-sectional study investigated how trait emotional intelligence (trait EI), conceptualized as self-perceived dispositions closely embedded within personality hierarchies rather than a cognitive ability, is configured alongside the Big Five traits to influence socio-emotional functioning among preadolescents. Using a convenience sampling strategy, data were collected from 194 Greek preadolescents (aged 10-12) who completed self-report measures of trait EI, personality, and psychosocial adjustment via the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) identified three distinct individual configurations: Emotionally Resourceful (54.6%), Emotionally Vulnerable (14.9%), and Emotionally Resilient (30.4%). Distal outcome testing via the Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars (BCH) three-step approach revealed that the Emotionally Resilient profile exhibited the most favorable adjustment (higher prosocial behavior, lower emotional/behavioral difficulties), whereas the Emotionally Vulnerable group displayed the highest psychosocial risks. While the reliance on cross-sectional self-reports requires cautious interpretation regarding causality, the findings underscore that preadolescent adjustment is better understood through integrated dispositional configurations rather than isolated traits, clarifying the role of trait EI within the broader personality space.
