Socio-emotional competencies are important for mental health and successful human interaction. In the university context, strengthening socio-emotional competencies is essential for fostering a collaborative learning environment, where students can manage academic stress and build meaningful connections with their peers.
To test the psychometric properties of the Socio-Emotional Competence Assessment Scale in the Cuban population.
Two cross-sectional studies were conducted. Study 1 (N = 640) assessed the psychometric properties of the Socio-Emotional Competence Assessment Scale within the Cuban population. In Study 2 (N = 913), the nomological validity of the scale was evaluated.
In Study 1, the scale demonstrated high internal consistency and the expected three-factor structure. We had to eliminate one item, as it was negatively correlated with the rest of the scale items; the result was the Cuban ECSE. In Study 2, we tested the nomological validity of the scale: we found that socio-emotional competencies had medium-sized positive correlations with subjective well-being and perceived academic self-efficacy. Negative associations were found between socio-emotional competencies and academic stress. Additionally, socio-emotional competencies were positively and statistically significantly correlated with the dimension of coping strategies in response to stressful stimuli or situations.
The use of the ECSE is recommended in the Cuban context.
社会情感能力对于心理健康和成功的人际互动至关重要。在大学环境中，加强社会情感能力对于营造协作学习环境至关重要，在这种环境中，学生可以应对学业压力并与同龄人建立有意义的联系。
测试社会情感能力评估量表在古巴人群中的心理测量特性。
进行了两项横断面研究。研究1（N = 640）评估了社会情感能力评估量表在古巴人群中的心理测量特性。在研究2（N = 913）中，评估了该量表的效标效度。
在研究1中，该量表显示出高内部一致性和预期的三因素结构。我们不得不删除一个项目，因为它与量表的其他项目呈负相关；结果是古巴版的社会情感能力评估量表（ECSE）。在研究2中，我们测试了该量表的效标效度：我们发现社会情感能力与主观幸福感和感知到的学业自我效能感呈中等程度的正相关。社会情感能力与学业压力之间存在负相关。此外，社会情感能力与应对压力刺激或情况的应对策略维度呈正相关且具有统计学意义。
建议在古巴使用社会情感能力评估量表（ECSE）。
