TY - JOUR KW - Emotional intelligence KW - Trait Meta-Mood Scale KW - Theoretical review KW - Self-report measures AU - N. Extremera Pacheco AU - P. Fernández Berrocal AB - In this article, we revised the empirical articles carried out with the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (Salovey, Mayer, Goldman, Turvey, & Palfai, 1995), the first self-report measure to evaluate emotional intelligence (EI) based on Salovey and Mayer s model of emotional intelligence (1990; Mayer & Salovey, 1997). In short, a brief description of the measure and its Spanish adaptation is done. Moreover, the published findings since its development in 1995 from applied, clinical, experimental, and cross-cultural studies are reported. Furthermore, each dimension that composes the instrument along with its differential pattern as predictors of individual well-being is examined. Findings showed that individuals who pay medium-low attention to their own emotions, and score higher on emotional clarity and repair show better emotional adjustment on reviewed studies. Finally, we discuss potential improvements of the scale, further research, and the implications from the use of the instrument.
