Abstract
It was intended to evaluate de psychometric properties of Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS24),Portuguese version of Queiroz et al. (2005) in 170 athletes, male gender sample. Statistical analysis was performed through the software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 for Windows. We proceeded to the analysis of the reliability of the 24 items of the instrument in order to see if the items were to measure the construct and obtain a high internal consistency (α = 0.890), almost unchanged with the elimination of any item. The inter-item correlation was not as strong, confirming the analysis of alpha. However, the items in each category tend to have a stronger relation/ correlation with each other, between categories. We conducted factor analysis, and variability between the variables, so as to reduce them to a particular number of dimensions. Initially we observed a six-dimensional division, but we forced the analysis to only three resulting in a division of the items according to the original scale, Thus, we concluded that the TMMS24 has a high internal consistency, good reliability and validity, offering us a suitable and reliable tool which we can conduct investigations in different areas such as the sports universe.
Highlights
It is being understood that the competitive nature of sport can trigger a range of emotions, ranging from mild to intense (Botterill & Brown, 2002; Jones, Hanton, & Connaughton, 2007) and which are considered essential for performance, let’s against postulated by Lazarus (1991, 2000), by proposing a hierarchical structure of emotions, it is said that a stronger and more important objective can trigger intense emotions

Summary
It is being understood that the competitive nature of sport can trigger a range of emotions, ranging from mild to intense (Botterill & Brown, 2002; Jones, Hanton, & Connaughton, 2007) and which are considered essential for performance, let’s against postulated by Lazarus (1991, 2000), by proposing a hierarchical structure of emotions, it is said that a stronger and more important objective can trigger intense emotions. The regulation and management of emotions can relate closely with the construct of emotional intelligence (EI) Salovey and Mayer (1990), which refers to the ability to manage emotions and use them to guide new thoughts and actions In this sense, some studies (Parker, Summerfeldt, Hogan, & Majeski, 2004; Slaski & Cartwright, 2002; Zeidner, Matthews, & Roberts, 2004) demonstrates the efficacy of emotional intelligence in a variety of fields, corroborating some meta-studies analysis (Schutte, Malouff, Thorsteinsson, Bhullar, & Rooke 2007, Van Rooy & Viswesvaran, 2004), who postulated the utility of emotional intelligence in work performance, which is the starting point for some researchers (Meyer & Fletcher, 2007; Meyer & Zizzi, 2007) to develop studies on EI in sport. This hierarchical model includes a set of skills from the most basic psychological processes (perception of emotions accurately) to complex (regulation of emotions and promote emotional and intellectual growth), considering that the most basic skills are needed to access to the most complex
