The skills of emotional competence among adolescents

Emotional Competence is the experience and expression of emotion in an efficacious manner. Saarni's list of eight skills is outlines below along with the caveat that the skills are interactive, context-specific and reflective of world-views. In other cultures, this list may will be modified and given new and distinct meanings. Yet it may be safe to assume that affect and its regulation does concern every community. The present paper reviews factors which influence the development of emotional competence was also attempted.
