Data - The Trait Meta-Mood Scale-24 (TMMS-24) and Academic Performance

Relationship Between the Trait Meta-Mood Scale-24 (TMMS-24) and Academic Performance:

This dataset contains the anonymized raw data from a cross-sectional study investigating the psychometric properties of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale-24 (TMMS-24) and its relationship with academic indicators among university students.

The study was conducted with a sample of N = 491 undergraduate health science students from multiple regional centers in El Salvador. The dataset includes:

Sociodemographic and Academic Variables: Age, sex, regional center, faculty, year of study, economic support, employment status, self-reported academic performance (Nota_real), academic aspiration (Nota_ideal), and strategies for coping with academic stress and procrastination.

Responses to the TMMS-24 Items: Complete raw responses to the 24 items of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale, which measures intrapersonal emotional intelligence across three theoretical dimensions: Attention to Feelings, Clarity of Feelings, and Mood Repair.

Derived Psychometric Variables: Composite scores and categorical levels (e.g., Low, Adequate, High) for the three TMMS-24 factors (Emotional Attention, Emotional Clarity, Emotional Repair), generated following exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).

Potential for Reuse: This dataset is valuable for researchers interested in:

The cross-cultural validation and factor structure of the TMMS-24.

The relationship between emotional intelligence, academic performance, and student coping strategies.

Meta-analyses on emotional intelligence in higher education, particularly in Latin American contexts.

Educational and psychological research on the well-being of health science students.
