Emotional Intelligence as a Predictor of Professional Activity of Future Naval Officers

Abstract

There is a need to determine a wider range of factors to anticipate officer behavior in situations of complex interpersonal interaction together with guidelines for self-knowledge and self-development of professional competencies. This study examines the emotional intelligence of future naval officers during probation on ships as a predictor of their success in military service. The article shows that it is possible to predict the results of internships of cadets of a military university on ships through the partial elements and the overall characteristic of their emotional intelligence. One hundred cadets were examined using the N. Hall methodology “Diagnosis of emotional intelligence (Fetiskin, Kozlova and Manuylova variant), the “Progressive Matrices” test by J. Raven, and expert evaluations of the results of professional internships. The study evaluated the reliability of the distribution of indicators of the components of emotional intelligence “Emotional awareness”, “Managing your emotions”, “Self-motivation”, “Empathy” and “Recognizing the emotions of other people” and correlation analysis of the relationship of the integral level of emotional and non-verbal intelligence with the success of the training of future officers on ships. It concludes that psychological predictors of emotional intelligence and its partial elements predicts the results of professional activity due to self-regulation, self-control, and management of the emotional states of naval officers with fairly high reliability. The predictors identified contribute to the development of targeted corrective and preventive programs for the development of emotional intelligence among naval university cadets.

Mechanistic Features of the CeO2-Modified Ni/Al2O3 Catalysts for the CO2 Methanation Reaction: Experimental and Ab Initio Studies

“…The catalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 is one of the approaches for the synthesis of various valuable products, such as methanol, ether, formamide, and formic acid. 1 Another attractive concept that is "power to gas" (PtG) has also gained great interest, where the reaction of CO 2 with H 2 , the latter generated by water electrolysis using renewable energy sources, can be utilized to produce synthetic natural gas (methane) or liquid fuels, and this is known as the Sabatier reaction. Methane production from CO 2 is an exothermic reaction (eq T h i s c o n t e n t i s…”

“…As a result, intensive research efforts have been devoted to mitigating CO 2 emissions by developing various approaches, including CO 2 capture, separation, and its utilization. 1 The technologies for CO 2 emission reduction through efficient CO 2 capture and its conversion into value-added chemicals have been gaining increased attention, although various environmental and economic concerns are still under investigation. With these viewpoints, in recent years, the utilization of CO 2 as C 1 feedstock to produce industrially useful chemicals and fuels has considerably grown, since CO 2 is cheap and abundantly available.…”

“…With these viewpoints, in recent years, the utilization of CO 2 as C 1 feedstock to produce industrially useful chemicals and fuels has considerably grown, since CO 2 is cheap and abundantly available. 1 Also, the recycling or utilization of CO 2 for chemical and fuel production is expected to consume less fossil-based hydrocarbons and therefore can be considered as a more sustainable approach to the use of carbon-containing resources.…”
