Abstract

Self-awareness of emotions was defined as the ability for recognizing one's various emotions by putting them in words. The test had four questions in which the subjects explained the events and described their feelings when they were happy, angry, received mental pain, and enjoying. The test score was the number of the expressed feelings. The test was performed to 160 female university students with Emotional Intelligence Scale (EI-33) and Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), all of which were conceptually related. The reliability of these three tests were acceptable. Self-awareness of emotions, emotional intelligence, and alexithymia were analized by factor-analysis model of covariance structure analysis. The results revealed that self-awareness of emotions had a positive significant correlation with emotional intelligence and emotional intelligence had a negative significant correlation with alexithymia. These results proved the conceptual relationships among them and supported the construct validity of them. But it was discussed that these tests left much room for improvement.
