Abstract
Abstract A recent theoretical framework of emotional intelligence proposed that incorporating the role of time and contextual factors, specifically the actual enactment of emotional intelligence in specific situations, to emotional intelligence measures is vital in advancing the understanding of the mechanisms of emotional intelligence. The present exploratory study examines if a new measure incorporating these factors, called emotional performance, is related to subjective well-being. Furthermore, we explored whether the expected positive relationship between emotional performance and subjective well-being was enhanced with higher levels of emotional intelligence. Survey data from a sample of students from the University of Groningen (N=466) showed partial support for the positive relationship between emotional performance and subjective well-being, particularly for the emotional performance subcategory self-regulation. However, we found no reliable evidence for a moderating influence of emotional intelligence. The findings provide empirical evidence for the association between emotional performance and subjective well-being, particularly for the emotional performance subcategory self-regulation. The findings support the value of conceptualizing emotional intelligence as a construct that is enacted in specific performance episodes and suggest that emotional intelligence is used by individuals in specific performance episodes regardless of their level of emotional intelligence. Keywords: emotions, emotional intelligence, emotional performance, subjective well-being
