Hierarchical regressions predicting types of strategic emotional intelligence (EI) from psychopathy, after accounting for general intelligence.

EI Type	Step	Variable	R² Change (p)	β	p	Semipartial r
*Strategic EI*
	1	*Control Variable*	.30 (<.001)
		General Intelligence		.55	<.001	.55
	2	*Psychopathy Factors*	.02 (.004)
		Affective Traits (F1)		−.02	.68	−.02
		Impulsive Traits (F2)		−.14	.009	−.12
	3	*Interaction*	.001 (.47)
		Affective * Impulsive		.03	.47	.03
*Understanding Emotions (B3)*
	1	*Control Variable*	.29 (<.001)
		General Intelligence		.54	<.001	.54
	2	*Psychopathy Factors*	.01 (.04)
		Affective Traits (F1)		.03	.54	.03
		Impulsive Traits (F2)		−.13	.01	−.11
	3	*Interaction*	.001 (.59)
		Affective * Impulsive		.02	.54	.02
*Managing Emotions (B4)*
	1	*Control Variable*	.18 (<.001)
		General Intelligence		.43	<.001	.43
	2	*Psychopathy Factors*	.02 (.03)
		Affective Traits (F1)		−.05	.42	−.04
		Impulsive Traits (F2)		−.10	.08	−.08
	3	*Interaction*	.002 (.37)
		Affective * Impulsive		.04	.37	.04

Note. n=344. Impulsive (Factor 1) and affective (Factor 2) traits were significantly positively correlated, r=.50, p<.001. Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) for Affective traits=1.35, VIF for Impulsive traits=1.34.
