The measure is intended to be used only with a special population: Seminarians and Religious.
Variables applicable for the intended population may not be reflected in the existing measures.
Dean, D. G. (1964). Romanticism and Emotional Maturity: A Further Exploration. Social Forces, 42, 298-303.
The author constructed 14 sub-scales to measure Emotional Maturity: dealing with stress, handling anger, reactions to authority, integration, self-control, judgment, man-woman relationship, attitude towards learning, intellectual maturity, responsibility, egocentredness-sociocentredness, communication, security-insecurity, social poise
Emotional Maturity is frequently referred to as the most significant psychological index
It is a syndrome (pattern) of 14 distinctly different components namely
1. Stress (the mature person is able to tolerate the normal stresses of everyday living without undue tension);
2. Anger (the mature person is able to handle frustration and anger in a socially useful or least socially harmless manner);
3. Authority (a mature person is able to accept authority when necessary but is not dependent on it);
4. Integration (a mature person is integrated in his ‘philosophy of life’ and in his mood);
5. Self-control (a mature person exercises self-control);
6. Judgment (a mature person exercises good judgment);
7. Heterosexual relationship (a mature person is progressing from an undeveloped sex potential towards a deeply and mutually satisfying heterosexuality);
8. Attitude towards learning (a mature person is progressing from ignorance toward knowledge. He has an open attitude towards learning);
9. Intellectual Maturity (a mature person has achieved an ‘adult’ level of intellectual maturity);
10. Responsibility (a mature person is going from irresponsibility towards responsibility);
11. Ego centeredness – Sociocenteredness ( a mature person is going from egocentredness towards socio centeredness);
12. Communication (a mature person is able to communicate effectively);
13. Emotional Security (a mature person is a one who is relatively emotionally secure);
14. Social Poise (a mature person is possessed of appropriate social poise)
The first draft of items were drafted for each subscale. Documentation and other studies in the field of Priestly formation were used for writing the items.
The Lickert scale was used as a response format. Clear and concise instructions were formulated
for the target respondents. The items were reviewed by Dr. Carlo Magno and
Mr. Gerry Louis. The items were reexamined and revised
accordingly
286 items were finalized for the actual pilot testing. A minimum of 20 items were created for each area measured.
It was administered to a sample of 300 seminarians and religious (M=265, F=35) in New Manila.
The age ranged from 16-45 years Due to time constraints only 103 respondents
from 20-30 of age were selected. The pilot data was analyzed through Principal
components analysis by using Statistica.
Using Principal Component Analysis 5 Factors were extracted

• the Scree Test criterion was used to decide on the number of factors for extraction. • 5 Factors were decided to be extracted since the smooth decrease of Eigenvalues appeared to level off to the right of the plot after the fifth factor

To obtain a clear pattern of loadings on each factor (to maximize the variance) the Varimax normalized rotational strategy was used. One item was deleted since it loaded on two Factors.
• 72 items loaded on Factor 1
• 26 items loaded on Factor 2
• 16 items loaded on Factor 3
• 13 items loaded on Factor 4
• 16 items loaded on Factor 5
