Psychological Theories on Emotional Intelligence - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 64/65 Emotional Intelligence/psychological theories/Reisenzein/Weber: In 1990, Salovey and Meyer proposed that the capacity to regulate one’s emotions in situationally appropriate ways should be viewed as but one facet of a broader capacity termed emotional intelligence, which they defined as: the ability to recognize one’s own and other’s emotions, to use the information contained in emotional experience to guide judgement and action, and to manage the experience and expression of emotions (Salovey and Mayer 1990(1) see also, Mayer, Salovey and Caruso 2004)(2). VsEmotional Intelligence: (…) studies found that emotional intelligence has a small to moderate positive correlation to performance (Van Rooy and Viswesvaran 2004)(3) and to mental and physical health (Schutte, Malouff, Thorsteinsson et al. 2007)(4). Although measures of emotional intelligence also correlate substantially with measures of more traditional personality dispositions, including coping style (e.g., Day, Therrien and Carroll 2005(5); Van Rooy and Viswesvaran 2004)(6), they appear to retain some predictive validity even when these correlations to traditional measures are taken into account. >Personality traits, >Personality, >Behavior, >Environment, >Dispositions, >Self-knowledge, >Emotions. 1.
