“…Reliability in the current study was α = .84 and .89 for males at Times 1 and 2 (T1 and T2) respectively, and α = .82 at T1 and .89 at T2 for females. The MSCEIT-YV provides scores of emotional functioning in four domains (perceiving, using, understanding, and managing emotions) but it also provides two Area scores (Experiential EI [perceiving + using] and Strategic EI [understanding + managing]), and a Total EI score (based on all four domains) (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2002;Mayer et al, 2005;Rivers et al, 2008;Stough, Saklofske, & Parker, 2009). The actual scores can be interpreted as intelligence scores (Mean = 100, SD = 15) (Mayer et al, 2002;Rivers et al, 2008;Stough et al, 2009).…”
