Emotional Intelligence
Cards in this deck (4)
- 1How did Salovoy and Mayer explain EI?Salovoy and Mayer divided EI up into four branches, which increase in sophistication. The first is the perceiving branch, wherein you can express and interpret expressions of emotion. Next is the facilitating branch, allowing you to control your emotions (e.g. calming yourself down). The next is the understanding branch, wherein you can recognise and analyse emotion, and apply your emotional knowledge (e.g. recognising that you're angry, or in love). The final branch is the managing branch, which allows you to regulate your emotions through reflection, and use them in a positive way to promote growth (e.g. using your envy as motivation).
- 2How did Goldman explain EI?Goldman's Competencies Model divided up EI into social and personal competencies. According to Goldman, there are four skills that must be unlocked in sequence. The first two are personal competencies: identifying your own emotions, and managing your own emotions. The final two are social competencies: assess and influence others' emotions, and having good interpersonal relationships.
It may be critiqued, however, that the first and third competencies are highly linked, as understanding your own emotions may immediately allow you to understand those of others. Similarly, being able to manage your own emotions may allow you to keep them in check, and thus maintain good interpersonal relationships. - 3What is the Bar-on Model of Emotional-Social Intelligence?The Bar-on Model of Emotional-Social Intelligence divides emotional intelligence into five skills: intrapersonal skills, interpersonal skills, adaptability, stress-management, and general mood.
However, like Goldman's Competencies Model, it may be critiqued that these are highly interconnected. For example, having good intrapersonal skills may allow you to better manage your emotions, and thus manage stress. This in turn may allow you to adapt better to different situations, which may contribute to your general mood. - 4What sex differences have been found in EI?Women have scored more highly on measures of Salovey and Mayer's criteria of EI (perceiving, facilitating, understanding, and managing). In the Bar-on Model, women score more highly on interpersonal skills (e.g. empathy, social responsibility, and interpersonal relationships), and are more aware of their own emotions.
Men have been found to be better at managing stress, are more independent and optimistic, and solve problems better.
It should be recognised that all differences found are small, except that of empathy.
