A new methodology for assessing emotion perception using mobiile devices  a185-2000 v193 aThe evaluation of emotional perception inasmuch as a component of emotional intelligence has traditionally been carried out using ability tests. These tests assess the ability to perceive emotions expressed in pictures as well as video and/or audio files. They continue to possess, notwithstanding, certain limitations that restrict their ecological validity. The present study, following a review of the the main features of these existing instruments, analyzes a new assessment tool for emotional perception using mobile devices that mitigates some of these limitations. To do this, a mobile application was developed using two platforms (iOS and Android) and was administered to 860 subjects from 4 countries (Spain, Germany, Colombia and the United States). The results of the reliability analysis of this new survey method were satisfactory, opening the possibility for the use these devices to assess skills such as the ability to accurately perceive emotions.  a1134-7937  a2174-0437
