Abstract
The aim of the research was to construct and validate The Parental Assessment Questionnaire for Children's Emotional Competence (URPEKD). The factorial structure, reliability, validity and sensitivity of the whole questionnaire, as well as the discriminability of individual items were checked, and the best items selected to be captured by the measurement construct were selected. Factor analysis resulted in a two-factor solution that explained 59.845 % of the total variance. The first factor that is saturated with eight items is called The perception, understanding and expression of one's emotions. The second factor that is saturated with six items is called Perception, understanding, and expression of others' emotions. The reliability of the entire scale, as well as its subscales is satisfactory. The construct validity of the URPEKD instrument was verified by its association with a similar instrument for students - UEK-45 (Takšić, 2002). There is a significant correlation between the stated factors of both questionnaires indicating satisfactory validity. The instrument is suitable for the use of measuring primary school children’s emotional competence by their parents.
