Sažetak
The first purpose of the present study was to develop a Japanese version of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire (ESCQ, Taksic, 2000). The second purpose was to examine the relationship between two other scales, Big-five and Self-esteem. The Japanese participants were 615 undergraduates (483 females and 132 males). The factor structure of the total scale of the Japanese version of the ESCQ was almost a fit with the three factor structure of the original version of the ESCQ. Cronbach alphas were satisfactory for the three subscales of Ability to Perceive and Understand Emotion (á = 0.91), Ability to Express and Label Emotion (á = 0.83), and Ability to Manage and Regulate Emotion (á = 0.67). The Japanese version of the ESCQ subscales were positively correlated with Self-Esteem (0.26 ; 0.42), Extraversion (0.38 ; 0.42), and Openness to Experience (0.40 ; 0.46), but negatively correlated with Neuroticism (0-.09 ; -0.25). Although a gender difference was not observed with the correlation with Extraversion, the correlation with the other three scales was higher for males than for females. These results indicated that the Japanese version of the ESCQ was valid and that the gender difference should be considered for further research.
