摘要
Associations of Machiavellianism (Mach) with self-report and performance emotional intelligence (EI) and with personality were examined. The possible existence of an emotional manipulation capability, not covered within current El measures, was also examined by constructing an emotional manipulation scale. Mach was found to be negatively correlated with self-report and performance El, and also with Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. Emotional manipulation was positively correlated with Mach but unrelated to El. Thus high Machs endorse emotionally-manipulative behaviour, although the extent to which they are successful in this behaviour, given the negative Mach/El association, remains to be established.
