Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• emotional intelligence

  Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue-SF): The Trait Emotional Intelligence Scale (Petrides, 2009b) includes 30 items that assess the following four factors: well-being, self-control, sociability (each with six items), and emotionality (eight items), as well as four additional items 3, 14, 18, and 29, which do not belong to any factor and directly contribute to the evaluation of the overall degree of the trait emotional intelligence, as indicated by the scoring key. The questionnaire is graded on a seven-point Likert scale, with responses ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), with higher scores indicating higher emotional intelligence. This TEIQue-SF scale has been used in numerous studies (Cooper \& Petrides, 2010; Perera, 2015) owing to its good psychometric properties. The Arabic version was validated by Al-Dassean, (2023).
