Substance Use Disorders

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change in perceived emotional intelligence, measured with the Spanish version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (Fernandez-Berrocal, Extremera & Ramos, 2004).

  The Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) is a 24-item self-report instrument with three subscales measuring three key aspects of perceived emotional intelligence: Attention, Clarity and Repair. Each of these three subscales consists of eight items with a 5-point Likert response format (ranging from 1 to 5). Subscale total scores are obtained by summing responses to all items and thus range from 8 to 40, with higher scores indicating greater level of the characteristic assessed.

  Changes from baseline scores at 2-months scores

• Score on an ability measure of emotional intelligence, the Spanish version of the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (Extremera & Fernández-Berrocal, 2016).

  The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) consists of 141 items that yield an overall emotional intelligence (EI) score and two EI area scores: the Experiential EI and Strategic EI scores. The aforementioned scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, with higher scores indicating greater emotional intelligence.

  Pre-intervention only

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Change in self-esteem, measured with the Spanish version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Martin-Albo, Núñez, Navarro & Grijalvo, 2007).

  Changes from baseline scores at 2-months scores

• Change in subjective happiness, measured with the Spanish version of the Subjective Happiness Scale (Extremera & Fernández-Berrocal, 2013).

  Changes from baseline scores at 2-months scores

• Change in life satisfaction, measured with the Spanish version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Vásquez, Duque & Hervás, 2013).

  Changes from baseline scores at 2-months scores

• Change in anxiety levels, measured with the Spanish version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - State subscale (Spielberger, Gorsuch & Lushene, 2011).
