The Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) is an emotional intelligence (EI) assessment originally developed for the U.S. population. This scale measures three EI factors--attention, clarity, and repair--to evaluate how an individual perceives one's own EI skills. Although the TMMS has been adapted for use in several languages and cultures, the structure of the TMMS requires continuous examination across cultures. Specifically, there is a need for stronger validity evidence using confirmatory analyses. This study evaluates the factor structure of the TMMS-Spanish version, known as the TMMS-24, in a sample of students from northern Mexico. Data from high school and college students were used to examine the factor structure of the scale via confirmatory factor analysis. Results support the basis for future cross-cultural research conducted with Hispanic populations within Mexico with the TMMS-24.
