Emotional control – Observational Emotional Inventory Revised (McCarron and Dial, 1986)
The Observational Emotional Inventory Revised (OEI-R) was used to assess emotional-coping abilities. There are 70 observational behaviours that are divided into seven subscales: impulsivity–frustration, anxiety, depression–withdrawal, socialization, self-concept, aggression and confusion. The assessment requires a daily 2-hour situational observation of the participants for five consecutive days. The total number of observed behaviours in the seven subfactors is reported.
