Abstract

This study presents the adaptation and validation to the Portuguese context of the Vocabulary Emotions Test (VET), an ability measure of Emotional Intelligence, particularly exploring their psychometrics properties and the criterion and convergent validity with a self-report measure, the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire - Reviewed (ESCQ-R). Consisting of 35 items, the VET was constructed in Croatian settings by Takšic, Herambasic and Velemir (2003), and was developed to measure the ability to understand emotions. This study involved 682 10th graders, with ages between 14 and 21 years (M = 15.5; SD = 77) from several courses. The VET revealed good psychometric properties, showed positive correlations with academic achievement and evidenced better predictive validity than the ESCQ-R, with which no association was found.
