Emotional Intelligence

Abstract

This article presents a framework for emotional intelligence, a set of skills hypothesized to contribute to the accurate appraisal and expression of emotion in oneself and in others, the effective regulation of emotion in self and others, and the use of feelings to motivate, plan, and achieve in one's life. We start by reviewing the debate about the adaptive versus maladaptive qualities of emotion. We then explore the literature on intelligence, and especially social intelligence, to examine the place of emotion in traditional intelligence conceptions. A framework for integrating the research on emotion-related skills is then described. Next, we review the components of emotional intelligence. To conclude the review, the role of emotional intelligence in mental health is discussed and avenues for further investigation are suggested.

This scale is based on the original model of Salovey and Mayer (1990) and captures three different dimensions of EI: Optimism/Mood Regulation, Appraisal of Emotion, and Utilization of Emotion. Austin et al (2004) reported a good internal consistency of the scale with a Cronbach alpha of .85.…”

Boredom begs to differ: Differentiation from other negative emotions.

“…Future research should examine whether relevant individual differences, such as emotional intelligence (Salovey & Mayer, 1990), self-awareness (Moynihan et al, 2015), and gender, relate to the relative positioning of boredom amongst the other negative emotions.…”

“…감성지능이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 언급되고 있는데, 감 성지능이란 인간이 가지고 있는 심리적인 성향 중 긍정적 감 정 성향으로 (Wong & Law, 2002), 자신과 타인의 감정을 평 가하고 효과적으로 조절할 줄 아는 능력 및 자신의 삶을 계 획하고 성취하기 위해서 그러한 정서를 활용할 줄 아는 능력 이다 (Salovery & Mayer, 1990). 감성지능이 높은 사람은 스트 레스 상황이 주어지더라도 긍정적으로 평가하고 적극적으로 문제를 해결하기 위해 노력하는 등 효과적인 대처방식을 보 이나 (Benson, Ploeg, & Brown, 2010;Lopes et al, 2004), 감성 지능이 낮은 사람은 정서적으로 갈등을 일으키며 스트레스 지각 정도가 높은 것으로 보고되고 있다 (Gohm, Corser, & Dalsky, 2005) (Yoo & Shin, 2013) • 대상자의 일반적 특성은 실수와 백분율을 구하였다.…”
