Abstract

This study sought to determine the Perceived Emotional Intelligence, based on the theoretical model of emotional intelligence proposed by Mayer and Salovey (1993) in 170 male athletes of soccer sport. Were used as measures of self-report the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS24), Queiroz et al. (2005) portuguese version. Statistical analysis was performed by the Statistical Software Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) in its 19 version for Windows. The TMMS24 showed a high internal consistency (α =0.890). There were statistically significant differences in “emotional repair dimension” of Emotional Intelligence, with a low average in the “goalkeeper” position, and a high average in the “midfielder” position, compared to other positions of game.
