Assessing Emotional Intelligence


Book Description

Managing human emotions plays a critical role in everyday functioning. After years of lively debate on the significance and validity of its construct, emotional intelligence (EI) has generated a robust body of theories, research studies, and measures. Assessing Emotional Intelligence: Theory, Research, and Applications strengthens this theoretical and evidence base by addressing the most recent advances and emerging possibilities in EI assessment, research, and applications. This volume demonstrates the study and application of EI across disciplines, ranging from psychometrics and neurobiology to education and industry. Assessing Emotional Intelligence carefully critiques the key measurement issues in EI, and leading experts present EI as eminently practical and thoroughly contemporary as they offer the latest findings on: EI instruments, including the EQ-I, MSCEIT, TEIQue, Genos Emotional Intelligence Inventory, and the Assessing Emotions Scale. The role of EI across clinical disorders. Training professionals and staff to apply EI in the workplace. Relationships between EI and educational outcomes. Uses of EI in sports psychology. The cross-cultural relevance of EI. As the contributors to this volume in the Springer Series on Human Exceptionality make clear, these insights and methods hold rich potential for professionals in such fields as social and personality psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, psychiatry, business, and education.

The Neuroscience of Emotional Intelligence and Its Applications to Education and Organizations


Book Description

This book provides a clear understanding of the neuromechanisms of emotional intelligence and its applications to education and organizations through practical exercises. Divided into three parts, the book begins by explaining the data that help us understand the neural mechanisms of emotional intelligence. Part 2 focuses on application in educational contexts by presenting emotional intelligence education programs for children and adolescents as well as an analysis of emotional intelligence from a practical point of view. Part 3 switches the focus to organizations through the leadership with emotional and social intelligence model as proposed and validated by Daniel Goleman and Richard Boyatzis. Both parts offer a series of practical and engaging exercises for application to adolescents, children and educators, and organizational environments respectively. Presented simply, the book gives a scientifically rigorous and structured overview of how neuroscience has helped in understanding the neural mechanisms of emotions and its applications. It is indispensable reading for neuroscientists, psychologists, leaders, managers, teachers, and educators, and all those interested in the search for personal and professional success.




Multidisciplinary Applications of Deep Learning-Based Artificial Emotional Intelligence


Book Description

Emotional intelligence has emerged as an important area of research in the artificial intelligence field as it covers a wide range of real-life domains. Though machines may never need all the emotional skills that people need, there is evidence to suggest that machines require at least some of these skills to appear intelligent when interacting with people. To understand how deep learning-based emotional intelligence can be applied and utilized across industries, further study on its opportunities and future directions is required. Multidisciplinary Applications of Deep Learning-Based Artificial Emotional Intelligence explores artificial intelligence applications, such as machine and deep learning, in emotional intelligence and examines their use towards attaining emotional intelligence acceleration and augmentation. It provides research on tools used to simplify and streamline the formation of deep learning for system architects and designers. Covering topics such as data analytics, deep learning, knowledge management, and virtual emotional intelligence, this reference work is ideal for computer scientists, engineers, industry professionals, researchers, scholars, practitioners, academicians, instructors, and students.




Educating People to Be Emotionally Intelligent


Book Description

Daniel Goleman, the literary catalyst for worldwide interest in emotional intelligence, sets the stage for this groundbreaking book in his foreword explaining its landmark importance. People can be educated to be more emotionally intelligent, and this particular type of education takes place through a specific type of parenting at home, formal education at school, and training and coaching at work. As a result of this education, extensively described in this comprehensive book, people's lives can be improved; they can become more effective, productive and content in what they do. Some of the best known researchers, professors and practitioners worldwide team up in this work to recognize and reflect the rapidly growing global interest in scientifically-based applications of emotional intelligence in education, to show readers the diverse applications of EI, and to guide them in applying what is known about this topic. The breadth of coverage, array of experts, international scope and clear, practical tone of this book will appeal to parents, educators, psychologists, counselors, trainers, and corporate coaches, mental health and human resource practitioners and healthcare providers. Parents and educators need to perform their caregiving roles and teach with emotional intelligence if children are to develop the skills and discernment needed to cope with the complexities of an increasingly globalized world. Workplaces that apply emotional intelligence are more pleasant places in which to work, provide a more fulfilling experience for employees and are, in the end, more productive organizations. Emotional intelligence can be developed by most individuals to increase performance in many areas of life. And a growing body of evidence indicates EI skills may improve physical health, as well as mental health. This book will become a benchmark for future researchers and practitioners.




Applying Emotional Intelligence


Book Description

The explosion of research on emotional intelligence (EI) in the past decade has provided increasing evidence that EI can be measured reliably and can be useful in predicting important outcomes, such as managerial effectiveness and relationship quality. Naturally, people are now asking, "So, how does one improve EI?". Applying Emotional Intelligence collects the most important programs focused on that idea, and enquires of their originators, "What do you do?", "Why do you do it?", and, "What is the evidence for your approach?". The emphasis of the book is applied, in that it provides and contrasts concrete examples of what we do in our interventions in a wide variety of situations. The chapters present descriptions of programs, including specific activities and exercises that influence emotional knowledge and social effectiveness more generally. While practical in its focus, this book also discusses the theoretical bases for these approaches. These are new programs with outcomes that are now beginning to be studied. The book presents the most important and recent research findings that examine the efficacy of these programs. Applying Emotional Intelligence is a "must-read" for anyone interested in EI and its application. This book will be of interest to researchers conducting EI intervention research, as well as a wide variety of practitioners, including those interested in developing EI in organizations, health areas, clinical populations, and school-age settings. Finally, the book is designed to be relevant to the reader's own life, encouraging the reader to consider how the programs and the exercises might impact his or her personality and outlook, as well as contribute to the development of those who have themselves participated in the programs.




A Critique of Emotional Intelligence


Book Description

This book analyzes important criticisms of the current research on Emotional Intelligence (EI), a topic of growing interest in the behavioral and social sciences. It looks at emotional intelligence research and EI interventions from a scientific and measurement perspective and identifies ways of improving the often shaky foundations of our current conceptions of emotional intelligence. With a balanced viewpoint, A Critique of Emotional Intelligence includes contributions from leading critics of EI research and practice (e.g., Frank Landy, Mark Schmit, Chockalingam Viswesvaran), proponents of EI (e.g., Neal Ashkanasy, Catherine Daus), as well as a broad range of well-informed authors. Proponents claim that EI is more important in life than academic intelligence, while opponents claim that there is no such thing as emotional intelligence. Three key criticisms that have been leveled at emotional intelligence include: (1) EI is poorly defined and poorly measured; (2) EI is a new name for familiar constructs that have been studied for decades; and (3) claims about EI are overblown. While the book presents these criticisms, the final section proposes ways of improving EI research and practice with EI theories, tests, and applications.
