Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper reports the results of a series of studies designed to develop and validate a measure of Emotional Quality of Life. Data from four studies of recovering alcoholics (N>300) and two studies of nonalcoholics (N= 256 & N=130) supported the EQL12, a theoretically derived twelve item measure, and the EQL16, a sixteen item measure, each with four first-order factors assessing Happiness/Contentment, Depression/Sadness, Anxiety/Fear, and Anger/Hostility which can also be combined to form a second-order factor structure. Confirmatory Factor Analyses supported the superiority of this factor structure to other proposed models. The EQL scales showed good convergent validity with the Satisfaction with Life Scale, Zung�s Depression scale, Zung�s Anxiety scale, and Navaco�s Anger inventory. Predictive validity was also indicated by the ability of the EQL and its dimensions to discriminate between alcoholics and nonalcoholics, and between people with diagnosis for psychological and emotional illness, as well as hypothesized relationships to several of measures of emotional expression.
