Cross-cultural validation of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire (ESCQ)

The aim of this article is to discuss the cross-cultural validation of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire (ESCQ), consisting of 45 items divided in three subscales – (i) perceive and understand emotion, (ii) express and label emotion, and (iii) manage and regulate emotion – , being classified as a “ trait emotional intelligence” or “ perceived emotional intelligence” measure. Originally, it was developed in Croatian settings using theoretical framework from the emotional intelligence model (Mayer & Salovey, 1997), and it has been translated into English and presented, in 2001, at the 7th European Congress of Psychology, in London. The psychometric qualities and the relations of ESCQ with several relevant construct in Croatian, Portuguese, Finnish, Swedish, Slovene, Spanish, and Japanese contexts will be presented, using target samples of mainly high school and university students, as well as samples of older subjects such as workers and supervisors. Finally, some general proposals regarding the future of the ESCQ will be emphasized.
