    La Trait Meta-Mood Scale se utiliza ampliamente para evaluar las diferencias individuales en la inteligencia emocional percibida. El instrumento mide la atención emocional, la claridad y la reparación autoinformadas. Este estudio analizó las propiedades psicométricas, entre ellas la fiabilidad y la validez, de una versión polaca de la TMMS-24 para adolescentes, con una muestra amplia de participantes polacos de entre 16 y 22 años (40.3% chicas). Los resultados de un análisis factorial confirmatorio mostraron que, como su versión original, la TMMS-24 tiene una estructura de tres factores (atención, claridad y reparación), una consistencia interna adecuada y correlaciones entre los tres factores. En En cuanto a relaciones con otras variables, se confirma la validez convergente con empatía emocional y validez discriminante con conducta agresiva. Los resultados señalan que la versión polaca del TMMS-24 para adolescentes es un instrumento válido para evaluar la inteligencia emocional percibida en adolescentes polacos, que puede utilizarse para la investigación básica y aplicada, y para la evaluación de programas de refuerzo de las competencias socioemocionales.

    The Trait Meta-Mood Scale is widely used to assess individual differences in perceived emotional intelligence. This instrument measures self-reported emotional attention, clarity, and repair. The present study analyzed the psychometric properties including reliability and validity of a Polish version of the TMMS-24 for adolescents including a broad sample of Polish 16 to 22 years old participants (40.3% girls). Results of a confirmatory factor analysis showed that, as its original version, TMMS-24 has a three-factor structure (attention, clarity, and repair), an adequate internal consistency and correlations among the three factors. In terms of relations with other variables, we found evidence of convergent validity with emotional empathy, and discriminant validity with aggressive behavior. These findings suggest that the Polish version of the TMMS-24 for adolescents is a valid instrument for evaluating perceived emotional intelligence in Polish-speaking adolescents that can be used for basic and applied research, and for the evaluation of programs for the promotion of socioemotional competencies.
