OBJECTIVE: Determine the level of reliability of the instrument of socio-emotional competencies of university students. METHOD: Research was carried out within the framework of the positivist paradigm, with a quantitative approach, descriptive scope, and non-experimental design. A sample of 15 students enrolled in the 9th semester of supervised psychological practice during the 2024 academic cycle was used. RESULTS: The instrument was evaluated by experts in psychology, psychopedagogy, and education, who rated the items according to a five-point Likert scale. Where: Unacceptable=1, Poor=2, Regular=3, Good=4, Excellent=5. The following evaluation criteria were used: relevance, conceptual clarity, writing, and terminology. The content validity coefficient was calculated per item and overall. The result of the overall content validity coefficient is 0.94, which indicates high agreement between judges, and a Cronbach's alpha of 0.92, which indicates excellent reliability. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that the validity of the instrument's items is highly satisfactory, as 94% of them were evaluated as good or excellent by the expert judges. Furthermore, the reliability analysis yielded a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.92, indicating a high level of internal consistency. Therefore, the instrument's design is considered reliable and suitable for research use.
