Resumen:
Sumario:Mayer and Salovey (1997) define emotional intelligence as an ability to perceive and express emotions; to access and/or generate feelings; to understand the emotions; and to regulate emotional phenomena. Although following this approach, different tests were designed to evaluate emotional intelligence, limitations both from the conceptual and methodological level still continue. The design and validation of a new instrument to assess Perceived Emotional Intelligence is presented for evaluating adult population of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This process included: a) conceptual and operational construct definition, b) preparation and analysis of items, c) application to a sample of 356 adult participants residing in Buenos Aires, d) study of psychometric properties. Favorable evidence for the validity of content, item discrimination, factorial validity and internal consistency of inventory were obtained. It constitutes a valuable tool, both for research activities, regarding intervention and prevention.
