The main ins trument for data collection wasa s tandard ques tionnaire of emotional intelligence of Siberia Schering (1996), validity of which was evaluatedby experts’ panel, and its reliability using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and composite reliability index was
analyzed and confirmed due to the fact that the rate was higher than 0.7 for all the cons tructs. Also, the scale used
