THE BIZARRENESS EFFECT AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

The present study was
conducted to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and
the likelihood of the bizarreness effect. Participants in the emotion condition
were asked to rate the degree of strange feelings elicited by sentences and
participants in the image condition were asked to rate the vividness of images
elicited by sentences. The level of EI in participants was assessed with the
J-ESCQ (Toyota, Morita & Takšić, 2007). EI was negatively correlated with
the recall performance of bizarre sentences for participants in the emotion
condition. Results indicate that differences in EI contribute to the likelihood
of the bizarreness effect, and that EI suppresses the emotional arousal caused
by bizarre sentences.
