S PECrecommandation

Hi,
Thank you for your interest in this measure.

We have not been able to replicate the good psychometric properties of the S-PEC.
Awaiting future studies, we recommend using the full (50-item) version of the PEC that has
been much largely used and validated.
The full PEC questionnaire and scoring key are attached.

The validation article can be downloaded online at:

Kind regards, do not hesitate to keep me posted about your results!

The Profile of Emotional Competence (PEC)
Brasseur S, Grégoire J, Bourdu R, Mikolajczak M (2013) The Profile of Emotional Competence
(PEC): Development and Validation of a Self-Reported Measure that Fits Dimensions of
Emotional Competence Theory. PLoS ONE 8(5): e62635. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0062635
The questions below are designed to provide a better understanding of how you deal with
your emotions in daily life. Please answer each question spontaneously, taking into account
the way you would normally respond. There are no right or wrong answers as we are all
different on this level.
For each question, you will have to give a score on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 meaning that
the statement does not describe you at all or you never respond like this, and 5 meaning
that the statement describes you very well or that you experience this particular response
very often.
