,EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, BODY IMAGE, AND CULTURE 2


Abstract

Previous research has shown that both emotional intelligence (EI) and culture have effects on

body image. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of culture on the

relationship between EI and body image. An online survey comprised of the Body Appreciation

Scale-2 (BAS-2) and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) was used. The

results showed a significant and positive effect of EI on body image. However, culture did not

appear to affect the relationship between EI and body image. These findings suggest important

implications for the prevention of body dissatisfaction (BD) and eating disorders. However, more

research that considers the strengths and limitations of the current study is still needed to draw

more definitive conclusions.

The Cross-Cultural Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence and Body Image

Around 50% of U.S. citizens are experiencing body dissatisfaction (BD) (Gallivan,

2014). Mountford and Koskina (2015) define BD as a subjectively negative evaluation of one’s

body. They define body image as the way one perceives their own body and the attitudes they

hold towards it. This especially, but not exclusively, includes one’s physical appearance.

According to Mellor et al. (2010), BD significantly lowers feelings of self-worth in both men and

women. They also state that feelings of BD may lead to body image disturbances. Mountford and

Koskina (2015) state that people who experience body image disturbances experience their body

shape and weight in a way that does not reflect reality. Furthermore, Marco et al. (2013) explain

that these body image disturbances significantly predict and maintain several different eating

disorders.

Mayer et al. (2011) explain that the ability to understand and manage one’s own as well

as other people’s emotional experiences is referred to as emotional intelligence (EI). However,

this is just one example because, as Petrides et al. (2004) state, EI is a complicated concept with

many definitions. In the current study, EI is operationalised according to the four-branch ability

model of EI by Mayer and Salovey (1997) on which the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence

Scale (WLEIS) is based according to Libbrecht et al. (2014). The definition of EI proposed by

this model is that EI is comprised of four fundamental and intercorrelated abilities: the

expression and perception of emotion, the use of emotion to facilitate thinking, the management

of emotion in oneself and others, and the understanding of emotion. Previous research has

already shown that the concept of EI is positively associated with body image. One example of

such previous research is the study by Pollatos et al. (2020). They used self-report questionnaires

to assess EI and BD, and parental reports to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in 991
