so that they would be applicable to the wider population of EFL teachers. Another major limitation of the present study was the complete reliance on self-report data in the assessment of EI and self-efficacy which are susceptible to self-presentation biases and may not be entirely accurate.
Alternatively, one might argue that the assessment of self-efficacy beliefs by selfreport should be considered appropriate, as no observer could have the same accurate expert knowledge about
the individual as the individual himself or herself.
