    Abstract

    This paper describes the validation of the Dutch Questionnaire on Emotional Labor (D-QEL) in a sample of 365 teachers and in a sample of 334 nurses. The D-QEL is a 13 item self-report questionnaire that measures surface acting, deep acting, suppression and emotional consonance. Confirmatory factor analysis provided support for the existence of four separate subscales. Evidence was also provided for convergent, discriminant and criterion validity
