The aim of the present study is to adapt and validate Bar On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Teenagers (Barn On EQ-i: YV) for use in the Bengali language. The present study aims to calculate the psychometric properties of BarOn EQ-i:YV in terms of the social context of Bengali culture. The study was performed in the department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry. Bar On EQ-i:YV has been redesigned following a back-to-back translation method from English to Bengali. 107 children completed the Bar On EQ-i:YV in the presence of a pediatric dentist and a psychologist trained in administration of the scale. To ensure the effectiveness of the translation materials, translations were sent to language experts. The data were subsequently analyzed with SPSS in which the results showed acceptable and reliable indicators. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.606 for the Bar On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (BarOn EQ-i: YV), indicating good internal consistency for each domain. Inter-Item reliability and discrimination index are acceptable for each EQ rating limit. Pearson’s to be omitted correlation coefficient in the subscales yielded statistically significant results. The findings support the psychometric properties and reliability of Bar On EQ-i: YV and add to the evidence of Bar On EQ-i: YV quality and ability to evaluate differential regression models, eliminating the use of different tools to evaluate these states.
