Abstract
Objective: The main purpose of this study was to validate the short-form of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire (ESCQ) Scale among Iranian undergraduate students.
Method: A total of 250 nurse undergraduate students participated in this study. Participants completed the ESCQ in addition to measures of Sheering Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and Studentʹs Demographic Questionnaire.
Results: Exploratory factor analysis resulted in three factors that were largely consistent with the a priori scale structure. These factors included such dimensions as appraisal of othersʹ emotions, managing and regulating emotion and specifying and understanding the individualsʹ own emotions.
Conclusions : The results provide initial support for the construct validity of the self- report version of the ESCQ in nurse students.
