Emo-Sensory Communication, Emo-Sensory ‎Intelligence and ‎Gender

Abstract

The evolutionary definition of intelligence has made it a ‎multifaceted concept. Emo-sensory ‎intelligence (ESQ), as integration ‎of emotional intelligence (EQ) and sensory intelligence ‎‎(SQ) is the ‎sensitivity to the emotions evoked by sensory inputs. It puts ‎emphasis on ‎individuals’ ability to recognize, label, monitor, and ‎manage sense-induced emotions to guide ‎one’s behavior and ‎establish emo-sensory communication. Among the studies done ‎on ‎different types of intelligence and effective communication, ‎gender differences have been a ‎recurring theme. The purpose of this ‎study was to investigate the role of gender in emo-‎sensory ‎intelligence and emo-sensory communication. To this aim, the emo-‎sensory ‎intelligence scale (ESIS) was distributed to 1500 participants. ‎The results revealed significant ‎differences between the two genders ‎in ESQ for visual, olfactory, and tactile senses, ‎demonstrating the ‎superiority of females over males. Moreover, a significant difference ‎was ‎found between the two genders in their ability to identify the ‎basic emotions triggered by ‎their senses, and use them in their ‎communications, with females being better than males.

ESQ in L2 Willingness to Communicate and Communicative Ability

“…In the recent psychological landscape, many diverse theories of intelligence, for instance, IQ, EQ, and SQ have grown (Naji Meidani et al, 2022). Therefore, the researchers struggled to put forward a framework surrounding the dominant theories of intelligence by supplying a well-rounded aspect of the notion.…”

“…ESQ is a new schema for integrating traditional EQ and SQ conceptions of intelligence, directing to the ability of persons to recognize, label, monitor, and control sense-induced emotions (Akbari & Pishghadam, 2022;. presented ESQ as a conciliatory theory and a chief factor in daily life, describing it as sensitivity to emotions induced by sensory inputs (Naji Meidani et al, 2022).…”

“…Intelligence as an elusive concept in psychology has had many debates over the last century and there is little agreement on its definition (Sternberg, 2000). Thus, the evolutionary definition of it has made intelligence a multifaceted concept (Naji Meidani et al, 2022). Generally, intelligence applies to one's mental faculties with a higher emphasis on problem-solving, reasoning, and abstract thinking .…”

The Effect of Music on Communication Ability: A Case of Vocabularies

“…Essentially, music intensifies students' senses and awakens their emotions, preconditioning greater retention of information (Ortis, 2008). In effect, sensitivity to emotions can encourage communication (Naji Meidani et al, 2022). Overall, music-based instruction can create a rich learning environment, address multiple senses, and support changes in emotions.…”

How to Enhance the Communicative Ability of L2 Learners: A Case of Afghan Cadets

“…Researchers can further investigate the complex relationship between various factors and their impact on motivation in EFL learning contexts, with a particular focus on the role of communication strategies. Furthermore, future research can explore the connection between emotions, emotioncy (Naji Meidani et al, 2022;Pishghadam, 2016), communication strategies, and learner motivation, providing valuable insights into the interplay between these elements.…”
