Basic Learning for Emotional Management in Children and Adolescents Instrument (MENA)
Abstract
Emotional management, with different meanings and under different approaches, has gained importance in recent years within educational discussions and curricula; however, the evaluation of this issue within the area of education is still in the initial stages. As part of the project Independent Measurement of Learning (MIA), the instrument ?Basic learning for emotional management in children and adolescents? (MENA, for its acronym in Spanish) was created and validated. This instrument was applied to a sample of 352 primary and secondary school students between the ages of 6 and 16. We obtained 15 items ordered in four factors (Coping, Control of impulsivity, Identification, and Comprehension and Expression) that explain 49. 9% of the variance and obtain a Cronbach's alpha of 0.72.
