“…To measure vocabulary knowledge, the multiple‐choice cloze item format is widely used because responses can be scored reliably and quickly by hand, or immediately if the assessment is computerised, as in this case. The main burden with multiple‐choice questions is the time and effort required to prepare quality items in advance (Rose, 2020).…”

Current research on emotion knowledge and competence emphasises the role of language. Emotion vocabulary is one of the indicators of emotion knowledge that can be objectively measured; however, the metric properties of the scores obtained in tests and tasks to measure it have seldom been adequate. In this study we designed and validated a Spanish emotion vocabulary test (MOVE) employing a corpus approach to construct cloze multiple‐choice items, administered the test to a Spanish‐speaking sample from two countries, Spain and Argentina, and analysed structural validity of the test items with the Rasch model measurement approach. Eighty‐eight items showed adequate fit. Overall, a substantial percentage of variance was explained by a latent variable. Reliability indexes at the test, item, and person level were also adequate. As a vocabulary test, the MOVE can be used in psychological and neurological investigation, as well as in language learning research.
