Abstract
In this article we focus on explaining personality trait self-transcendence (ST) in
relation to social and emotional competence, and suggest that ST through differences
in moral foundations can partially predict social and emotional competence.
A sample of 195 university students was used to test hypotheses regarding
several paths between ST, trait emotional intelligence (EI), universalism and
moral foundations. Consistent with the hypotheses, ST was found to predict
social and emotional competence via individualised moral foundations (IMF).
Results have implications for our understanding of the relationship between ST,
moral foundations, social and emotional competence.
