Product Details

The MSCEIT®–YRV is designed to assess emotional intelligence among pre-adolescents and adolescents. Specifically, it measures the capacity to reason using feelings and to enhance thought with feelings. In contrast to a self-report of one's emotional skills, the MSCEIT-YRV is a performance-based scale that measures how well a youth performs tasks and solves emotional problems. As a performance-based scale, the MSCEIT-YRV provides measurable results that can be used to predict various outcomes.

    Validity and Reliability

    Internal consistency and test-retest analyses were conducted to establish the reliability of the MSCEIT-YRV. The validity of the MSCEIT-YRV is demonstrated not only by its unique test content and response process, but also by its ability to differentiate between clinical groups and show expected relationships (correlations) between test components.

    Normative Data

    The MSCEIT–YRV normative sample includes 1000 youth between 10 to 18 years (500 males, 500 females). The data were collected from all four U.S. Census regions as well as Canada (3.5% of sample). The majority of the normative sample is White (58.5%) and the other races/ethnicities represented by the normative sample include Asian (13.9%), Black (7.9%), Hispanic/Latino (9.4%), and Native/Multiracial/Other (10.3%). Information regarding parental education was also gathered, with 28.2% reporting a high school education or less, 26.3% college, and 45.6% reporting university or higher levels of education.
