Cross-Cultural Validation Of Emotional Skills And Competence Questionnaire (Escq)

The aim of the Symposium is to discuss about cross-cultural validation of Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire (ESCQ). It consists of 45 items divided in three subscales: a) perception and understanding emotion, b) expression and labeling emotion, and c) managing and regulating emotion. Originally it is developed in Croatian settings using theoretical basis from the emotional intelligence model (Mayer & Salovey, 1997). At first, it has been translated in English and presented at European Congress of Psychology in London in the 2001. Psychometric properties and relations of ESCQ with relevant construct in Portuguese, Finnish, Swedish, Slovenian, Spanish, and Croatian context will be the topic of six communications at the Symposium. Target samples were mainly high school and university students, and the Questionnaire is also administrated in the samples of older subjects like workers and supervisors. The correlation among subscales is positive (0, 35-0, 55), and allowed computing overall ESCQ score. The reliability of three subscales and ESCQ was mainly satisfactory in all the samples, with somewhat less values for Subscale of managing and regulating emotion. There were many correlations with relevant construct performed in searching for convergent-divergent validity, as well as other important type of validity. ESCQ was usually positive correlated with positive outcomes like well-being, life satisfaction, and resiliency. Cross-cultural similarities and differences in ESCQ will be the key point of discussion focusing on improvement of the Scales and planning for future join research projects.
