Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the factor structure of the Czech adaptation of the Emotional Intelligence Scale by U.S. researchers Valler and Pfeiffer (2015) and its equivalence across different groups of raters. Altogether, 87 teachers, 251 mothers, and 117 fathers participated in the data collection, rating the socio-emotional competencies of 315 children from 51 schools. A two-factor model, consisting of prosocial behavior and emotional conscientiousness and self-regulation, proved to be most likely, showing an acceptable fit in both mothers and fathers; however, the fit was unsatisfactory in teachers. The results and possible implications are further discussed.
