The aim of the present study was to take a more in-depth look at the role emotional intelligence and personality traits play in relation to decisional styles, verifying the existence of incremental validity of the emotional intelligence dimensions over personality variables. 159 apprentices (median age = 21.18; SD = 2.30) from various Tuscan provinces were given the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire (MDMQ; coordinated by Nota, Mann, e Soresi, 2003), the Italian version of the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory: short (coordinated by Giorgi e Di Fabio, 2005) and the Big Five Questionnaire (Caprara, Barbaranelli, e Borgogni, 1993). The results particularly underline the role of emotional intelligence and they permit an in-depth look at the relationship between emotional intelligence and decisional styles.
