Every road has a story… what about EVCE road?
The instrument, or the Data Collection Instrument (DCI) that has been used so far, the “Emotional
Competence Veiga Scale (ECVS), (EVCE) (28, 31, 34,45) includes 86 items to operationalize the five
dimensions of E.C.. The first dimension, Self-awareness was composed by 20 items, the Emotion
Management dimension was composed by 19 items, the third dimension, Self-motivation, integrated 21
items, the fourth dimension, Empathy was constituted by 12 items, and the last one, the fifth dimension
Management of Social Emotions was constituted by 14 items. These items are constituted as ordinal
variables, and each of these items was, in turn, operationalized through a scale measured by a Likert
type temporal frequency scale (1 to 7, with 1 - "never", 2 - "rarely", 3 - "occasionally", 4 - "usually", 5 -
"often", 6 - "very often" and 7 - "always", with participants being able to choose how often they
experience the situations described.
The Psychometry of the Data Collection Instrument (DCI), and from the point of view of descriptive
statistical analysis, assumes that the EVCE cut-off point is 4. To measure the EC profile, 3 levels of E.C. are
considered: the low level, between 1 and 3.49; the moderate level between 3.50 and 5.45, and the high
level between 5.46 and 7.
Therefore, in order to obtain the level of Emotional Competence as a global construct, we will have to
obtain the average values of the means of the five dimensions. To obtain the level of each of the
dimensions we have to obtain the average values in each one.
The actual scale, EVCEr33, as Data Collection Instrument (DCI) and that has already been used, (37, 38,
39, 42, 43) includes only 33 items to operationalize the five dimensions of E.C., as the following. - The first dimension, Self-awareness is actually composed by 8 items, one of which, is an inverted item; - the second one, the Emotion Management dimension is now composed by 7 items, three of which, are
inverted items; - the third dimension, Self-motivation, now integrates 7 items, two of which, are inverted items; - the fourth dimension, Empathy, is actually compose by 5 itens, four of which are inverted items; - the last one, the fifth dimension Management of Social Emotions actually integrates 6 without inverted
items.
For example, and to better understanding, the level of Management of Social Emotions dimension we
have to obtain the average values of those 6 items, and if the average is between 3.50 and 5.45, we can
assume thar our sample present a moderate level in Management of Social Emotions.
As the previous DCI, in the actual, all items are also constituted as ordinal variables, and each one is also
operationalized and measured by the same Likert-type temporal frequency scale, and is also applied the
same Psychometrics.
