Theoretical models of ability-based emotional intelligence (EI) present the ability to regulate other’s emotion as part of the emotion regulation facet, but in existing ability-based self-report EI measures, this ability is often not evaluated (e.g., Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, WLEIS, 2004) or is evaluated as a separate facet, in the work context (e.g., Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile WEIP-3, 2002). This consideration led to the development of a new self-report EI measure to assess EI abilities (Cluj Emotional Intelligence Scale, CEIS); the process of development and validation is presented in the current paper, across four different studies. Study 1 (n = 218) used item- analysis and exploratory factor analysis to select relevant items. Study 2 (n = 215) tested the factorial structure, convergent and discriminant validity and test-retest reliability (in sub-sample n = 75). Study 3 (n = 164) cross-validates the factorial structure and assesses concurrent validity of new instrument with well-being. Study 4 (n= 136) presents the translation of the new instrument from its original Romanian language into English and the evaluation of its psychometric properties.
"The current paper presents the translation and validation for Romanian
non-clinical population of Comprehensive Assessment of ACT Processes
– CompACT (Francis et al., 2016), an instrument that evaluates three
dimensions of psychological flexibility: openness to experience, present
moment awareness (mindfulness) and valued action. The psychometric
properties of the Romanian version of the instrument were investigated,
convergent validity in relation with AQQ-II and concurrent validity in
relation with DASS-21 (with comparable results with ones reported for the
original instrument). Considering modest model fit with theoretical factor
structure of the instrument, current paper proposes a shorter, more stable
Romanian Version, and tests its psychometric properties."
