WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Understanding the Causes and Consequences of Emotions Test

Understanding the Causes and Consequences of Emotions Test - Symptoms and Signs

emotional intelligence

This measure assesses knowledge of how emotions arise, unfold, and influence behavior and decision-making. Understanding the Causes and Consequences of Emotions is intended to capture depth of emotion understanding beyond simple recognition, including appraisal of one’s own and others’ emotional experiences. It was developed by Klaus R. Scherer and Nico H. Frijda.

The instrument contains 40 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. It can be used in self-report or informant-report formats when an external perspective is clinically useful.

Scores from Understanding the Causes and Consequences of Emotions may support evaluation of emotion-related competencies relevant to interpersonal functioning and self-regulation, and should be interpreted in the context of other clinical information and the assessment purpose.
