Abstract
The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Scale of Emotional Intelligence of Rotterdam (REIS) (Pekaar, Bakker, van der Linden, & Born, 2018) (N = 384, age = 29.32 years). Two studies were carried out: 1) the translation of the REIS scale into Spanish was carried out and its internal consistency, factorial structure and convergent validity were evaluated; and 2) the confirmatory factorial analysis of the questionnaire was carried out. Four factors were obtained: self-centered emotional evaluation, evaluation of emotions centered on others, regulation of self-centered emotion and regulation of emotions focused on others. The exploratory factorial analysis showed clearly that the factors of the REIS scale have a cumulative variance of 56.07 %, showing being able to explain the unique variation of emotional intelligence. For its part, the confirmatory factor analysis confirms the adequacy of the model, with a sustainable model composed of the four identified factors and 28 items. The REIS is an easy instrument to understand and quick to complete, so it is considered useful for the evaluation of emotional intelligence in the Spanish population.
