Abstract

Although emotional intelligence is related to psychological and social adjustment, currently there is not any tool that enables valid and reliable measurement of such construct in the adolescent population. The TMMS is a well-established assessment tool of perceived emotional intelligence in adolescence that measures peoples beliefs and attitudes about their own emotional experience. We examined the psychometric properties of TMMS in a sample of 300 participants (ages ranging between 12 to 16 years). The results corroborated the three – factor structure of the scale (Attention to feelings, Clarity of feelings, and Mood repair). Moreover, these dimensions showed adequate internal consistency and temporal stability and correlated among themselves in the expected direction. In the Pre-test finding, the impact of TMMS on Academic achievement of adolescents was studied. Those adolescents who were found low in TMMS in Pre-test were given intervention and after that its impact w.r.t academic achievement was studied. We found that intervention have positive impact on academic achievement.
