Abstract
ABSTRACT The changed sentence: The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Emotion Matching Task (EMT) in a sample of Croatian preschool children. The Croatian version of the EMT was applied to 198 children (52% female), together with measures of verbal ability and social competence. The internal structure of the test, as well as its reliability, was confirmed. Simultaneous regression analysis showed that children with higher verbal abilities, older children, and girls had higher results on the EMT. The results of a hierarchical regression analysis related to the explanation of the variance of social competence with regard to age, sex, verbal ability, and EMT variables and showed that only the contribution of sex was significant. In conclusion, the EMT showed good reliability and adequate construct validity, while criterion validity was not confirmed. However, further research is needed using broader samples and other behavioural outcomes measures.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
