Validation and Reliabiliation of the emotional literacy skills questionnaire

Abstract :

Emotional literacy is the ability to identify, understand, and respond to one’s own and others’ emotions in a healthy manner. The present study was conducted with the aim of validating and reliabiating the Emotional Literacy Skills Questionnaire. The research method was a descriptive correlational type and the statistical population of the present study included all adults aged 20-75 years throughout Iran in 1402 who responded to the Schering (1996) Emotional Intelligence and Emotional Literacy Skills (ELSS) questionnaires on virtual messengers. Among them, 808 people were selected as the research sample. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed the existence of three factors that explained a total of 35.86% of the total variance of the scale. The results of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the results of exploratory factor analysis. The reliability coefficient was calculated using Cronbach's alpha method, which was calculated for the first factor or emotional self-awareness, the second factor or social skills, and the third factor or emotional self-regulation, respectively, as 0.82, 0.80, and 0.71, and the total score of the questionnaire was calculated as 0.65. The findings also showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between the components of emotional literacy and emotional intelligence, which indicates the convergent validity of the emotional literacy questionnaire. According to the findings, it can be said that the Persian version of the emotional literacy scale has appropriate validity and reliability for measuring the emotional literacy skills of adults.
