Abstract
The main purpose of the present study was to The main purpose of the present study was to investigate factorial validity of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire (ESCQ, Faria et al. 2006) among Iranian university students. 300 university students (150 male and 150 female) completed the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire. The confirmatory factor analysis method and internal consistency were used to compute the ESCQ's factorial validity and reliability, respectively. The results of confirmatory factor analysis based AMOS software showed that 3-factor structure of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire consisted on perceiving and understanding emotion (PU), expressing and labelling emotion (EL), and managing and regulating emotion (MR) had good fit with data. Internal consistency for the perceiving and understanding emotion (PU), expressing and labelling emotion (EL), and managing and regulating emotion (MR) was 0/88, 0/82 and 0/79 respectively. In sum, these findings provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the ESCQ as an instrument to measure of “trait emotional intelligence” or “perceived emotional intelligence” among Iranian university students.
