“…Repeated uncorrected errors and justified mistakes would lead to a lower quality as regards health care security. At last, a third explanation could come from the fact that emotionally perceptive people appear to respond worse to stress than others do (Ciarrochi, Deane & Anderson, 2002). Stressed team members would then pay less attention or care less for safety and hygiene norms.…”

Claims about the positive influence of emotional intelligence (EI) on work team performance are very numerous, both in commercial and scientific literature. However, despite the huge interest that media and business consultants put in EI and its fast-growing use in organizations, there is very little empirical evidence to support these claims. In this study, we investigated the relationships between EI, performance, and cohesiveness in 23 nursing teams. EI was assessed using the modified version of the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale and cohesiveness with the Group Cohesiveness Scale. Finally, nursing team performance was measured at four different levels: job satisfaction, chief nursing executives' rating, turnover rate, and health care quality. Results showed that health care quality was positively correlated with emotion regulation. Emotion regulation was also positively correlated with group cohesiveness. Surprisingly, it also appears that emotion appraisal was negatively correlated with the health care quality provided by teams. These results suggest that EI and, more specifically, Emotional Regulation may provide an interesting new way of enhancing nursing teams' cohesion and patient/client outcomes.

“…Rather, it simply means that Pfeifer, Soldivera and Norton (1992) were of the opinion that no scientifically acceptable instruments were available in 1992 to measure Ei constructs. Only recently are researchers beginning to identify valid Ei measures (Ciarrochi, Deane & Anderson, 2002;Ciarrochi et al, 2000;Mayer, Caruso & Salovey, 1999;). however, in 2003, Saklofske, Austin and Minski (2003 stated that research on the psychometrics of Ei was still in its early stages, leaving a number of unresolved research issues that needed to be addressed.…”

ABSTRACTthe objective of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Schutte Emotional intelligence Scale (SEiS). the psychometric soundness of the SEiS was tested. A cross-sectional survey design was used for this study. A sample (n = 341) was taken from Economical Science students from a higher-education institution. the results obtained using the cross-sectional design supported a sixdimensional factor structure of the SEiS. the six factors are Positive Affect, Emotion-Others, happy Emotions, Emotions-Own, Non-verbal Emotions and Emotional Management. A multi-analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to determine differences in terms of biographical data. the results indicated significant differences between gender and language groups.

“…This is especially true as there is a stringent parallel between the EI asymmetries. Higher trait EI scores have indeed been associated with more positive and less negative state affectivity (Mikolajczak, Nelis, Hansenne, & Quoidbach, 2008;, increased subjective resistance to stress or negative conditions (e.g., Ciarrochi, Deane, & Anderson, 2002;Mikolajczak & Luminet, 2008), and lower cortisol secretion amidst stress (Mikolajczak, Roy, Luminet, Fillée, & de Timary, 2007). Higher trait EI scores have also been associated with a lower risk for mental disorders such as depression and anxiety (for a meta-analysis, see Schutte, Malouff, Thorsteinsson, Bhullar, & Rooke, 2007).…”

a b s t r a c tThis study aimed at investigating the brain correlates of trait emotional intelligence. Trait emotional intelligence (trait EI) is a constellation of emotion-related traits, capturing the extent to which people experience, attend to, identify, understand, regulate, and utilize their emotions and those of others. As previous studies have provided converging evidence that frontal asymmetries were one of the determinants of emotion dispositions and behaviors, and as observations on individuals with a high level of emotional intelligence parallel those on people with a left-sided frontal cortical asymmetry in nearly every respect, we hypothesized that the level of emotional intelligence might be associated with differential frontal activation. Results supported the hypothesis: the pattern of resting electroencephalographic (EEG) activation recorded in the frontal areas was significantly associated with emotional intelligence. Individuals with higher trait EI evidence greater resting left frontal activation.
