Propiedades Psicométricas del Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) en Adolescentes de Chiapas, México

Abstract

This study analyzes the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS 24) with a sample of 3,270 students, 69.9% women and 30.1% men, from Chiapas, Mexico. The internal consistency for the entire scale is satisfactory (α= .910). The exploratory factorial analysis using main axis factorization and varimax rotation, improved an initial structure of four factors with eigenvalues greater than one that explained 58.23% of the variance. However, the factorial loads and the conceptual congruency of the items suggest that a three-factor solution (Attention to feelings, emotional clarity and repair of emotions) is adequate. It is concluded that the TMMS 24 is a reliable and valid instrument to assess emotional intelligence in Mexican adolescents.

Psychometric Properties of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-23) in the Cuban Context

“…The reliability analyses indicated high internal consistency. These results are similar to those computed by other authors in Spain and in Latin American contexts, such as González et al (2020, Argentina), who obtained estimated reliabilities of .82, .84, and .85; Ocaña-Zuñiga et al (2019, Mexico), who obtained estimated reliabilities of .85, .89, and .84; and Fernández-Berrocal et al (2004, Spain), who obtained estimated reliabilities of .90, .90, and .86 for Emotional Attention, Emotional Clarity, and Emotional Repair, respectively (all Cronbach’s α values). After the one problematic item was removed, internal consistency in this research reflected even higher values than the ones from previous studies.…”

“…Apparently, this item was related to all three TMMS-23 subscales. The factor structure mirrors the structure found with other Spanish-speaking samples (Angulo & Albarracín, 2018;Espinoza-Venegas et al, 2015;Fernández-Berrocal et al, 2004;Ocaña-Zuñiga et al, 2019;Pérez-Zarate et al, 2020) and corresponds with theoretical models on EI (Mayer & Salovey, 1997;Salovey & Mayer, 1990;Salovey et al, 1995). The internal consistencies of the full scale and the subscales were high.…”

“…The TMMS has been adapted into and validated in several languages, such as Chinese (Li et al, 2002), German (Otto et al, 2001), and Portuguese (Queirós et al, 2005). With respect to Spanish, the TMMS has been validated with participants from Spain and with participants from several Spanish-speaking countries, such as Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, and Peru (Câmara et al, 2023; Cerón-Perdomo et al, 2011; Espinoza-Venegas et al, 2015; González et al, 2020; Ocaña-Zuñiga et al, 2019; Pérez-Zarate et al, 2020). The first Spanish adaptation of the TMMS was carried out by Fernández-Berrocal et al (2004) and resulted in a 24-item version (TMMS-24).…”

Variables personales y escolares asociadas a la inteligencia emocional adolescente

“…Según González et al (2011), las primeras posibilitan valoraciones subjetivas de las competencias emocionales, mientras que las segundas examinan dichas habilidades a través de ejercicios. Así pues, teniendo en cuenta la naturaleza y los objetivos de la investigación (Antonio, 2019;Antonio et al, 2017) se ha adoptado por el empleo de la escala Trait Meta-MoodScale (TMMS-24) frente a otro tipo de medidas, fundamentalmente por ser la más utilizada, su fácil aplicación, sus excelentes propiedades psicométricas, las dimensiones que evalúa, los antecedentes disponibles de adaptaciones y validaciones en poblaciones de habla hispana, y sobre todo, por los numerosos estudios actuales sobre inteligencia emocional que se han decantado por el uso de esta escala de medida (Carrasco, 2017;Márquez, 2016;Ocaña et al, 2019;Taramuel y zapata, 2017). = 5319.338, p <.001, rMSEA =.068, intervalo de confianza 90% (CIs) [.066 -.069], SrMr =.073, GFI =.895, NNFI =.889 y CFI =.891).…”
