Abstract
This study aims to further investigate the convergent validity of the recently-proposed
metapersonal model and measure of self-construal, and to emphasize the discriminant
validity of the metapersonal self-construal as a distinct construct, capturing a unique aspect
of self-construal separate from either interdependent or independent aspects. The study
looked at two questions: (1) Does the metapersonal self-construal predict higher emotional
intelligence? (2) Do those who have higher metapersonal self-construal scores also report
greater well-being? A group of 212 undergraduate students was assessed using a self-construal
scale that includes the new measure of metapersonal self-construal, along with scales
measuring emotional intelligence and well-being. The metapersonal self-construal predicted
higher emotional intelligence scores and greater well-being than either the independent or
interdependent self-construals.
