Duality of emotional expression among Mosul University students

This study aimed to develop a measure of the duality of emotional expression among Mosul University students, as well as to reveal differences between sample members in the duality of emotional expression based on variables such as gender, academic specialization, and grade. The samples consisted of (815) male and female students who were drawn by the stratified random method, and the authors built the tool based on the theory (King and Emmons, 1990). The final tool consisted of (40) positions in the style of verbal attitudes, where three alternatives were prepared for each position, the first alternative does not measure the trait, the second alternative measures it to an average degree, and the third alternativeThe authors followed the fundamentals in formulation of positions, such as the suitability of the situation to the level of the sample members, after presenting it to a group of experts and taking into account the time allotted for the answer. Thus the scale positions were prepared in the initial version. The authors collected the psychometric properties of the scale of duality of emotional expression, honesty, consistency, and discrimination. The results showed that the research sample has an average level of duality of emotional expression.
