Public Significance Statement This study introduces the Emotional Style Questionnaire-a 24-item measure of overall emotional health-which also provides more fine-tuned information about the 6 different dimensions underlying emotional health. We conclude that the ESQ is a psychomet-rically solid and easily implementable instrument that can be used to gauge healthy emotionality and its components in both clinical and research settings. Finally, Study 4 investigates the test-retest reliability of the scale and reveals very good reliability across an interval of 4 weeks. In Study 3, we test the relationship between the ESQ as a measure of healthy emotionality and various indicators of psychological and physical well-being. Study 2 confirms the adequacy of the factorial structure in a second sample and establishes the construct validity of each of the 6 subscales. Study 1 reports the development of the ESQ and provides initial support for the proposed factorial structure of the scale. These 6 dimensions (Outlook, Resilience, Social Intuition, Self-Awareness, Sensitivity to Context, and Attention) are based on a theoretical framework drawn from neuroscientific studies of emotion. In four studies, we document the development and validation of the Emotional Style Questionnaire (ESQ)-a 24-item self-report measure that captures how people vary across 6 dimensions that make up a healthy emotional life.
