Sumario:The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of social-emotional competence questionnaire and determine its relationship with academic buoyancy in Iranian students. In the present study, confirmatory factor analysis, item-total correlation, Cronbach's alpha, Pearson correlation, multiple regression analysis and multivariate analysis of variance with a sample of 348 middle school students in Ahvaz (196 girls and 152 boys) which were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method was used. The results findings of confirmatory factor analysis showed a model with a good fit for the five-factor structure of the social-emotional competence questionnaire. In addition, the findings indicated that the questionnaire had high internal consistency reliability. Also, there was a positive and significant relationship between social-emotional competence and academic buoyancy. Finally, the results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that there was a statistically significant difference between girls and boys in the dimensions of the social-emotional competence questionnaire. These findings suggest that the Persian version of the social-emotional competence questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for assessing social-emotional competence in the population of Iranian middle school students. Practical implications, limitations, and future research needs for professionals, researchers, teachers at the classroom and school level are discussed.
