The current study was designed to develop an emotional intelligence scale for children and adolescents of age
between 9 and 17 year, and to determine its psychometric properties. The objectives of the study were achieved
in four phases. In Phase-1, items for the development of the scale of emotional intelligence were empirically
generated by following Bar-On’s model of emotional intelligence (1997, 2001). In Phase-II, the dimensionality
and internal consistency of the scale was determined with a sample of 390 children and adolescents of age (9-15
year) via exploratory factor analysis. In Phase-III, the confirmatory factor analysis was run to confirm the factor
structure appeared in Phase-II on a sample consisted of 555 children and adolescents of age (9-17 year). In
Phase IV, the convergent validity of the scale was determined by correlating scores on the newly developed
scale of emotional intelligence and the measure of social competence with a sample of 50 children and
adolescents of age (12-15 years) that established the convergent validity of the scale. The final scale comprised
26 items under five well defined factors (viz., Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Stress Management, General Mood
and Adaptability) with reasonable reliabilities. It was concluded that the new emotional intelligence scale for
children and adolescents was a promising measure.
