  • The Positive Psychology of Emotional Intelligence
    The Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Peter Salovey, John D. Mayer, David R. Caruso
    Abstract:

    Emotional Intelligence is contextualized historically and defined as a set of four interrelated abilities focused on the processing of Emotional information. These four abilities involve (a) perceiving emotions, (b) using emotions to facilitate cognitive activities, (c) understanding emotions, and (d) managing emotions in oneself and other people. Emotional Intelligence is best measured as a set of abilities using tasks rather than self-judgment scales. When Emotional Intelligence is measured in this way it shows discriminant validity with respect to “cognitive” Intelligence, personality traits, and social desirability, which is generally not the case for self-judgment measures. The ability-based measure of Emotional Intelligence most often used in research is the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), a reliable instrument that is associated with positive outcomes in social situations, families, educational settings, and the workplace. Promising interventions designed to improve Emotional Intelligence have been developed for school children and managers. The effectiveness of these interventions needs to be evaluated systematically.

  • Emotional Intelligence and Giftedness.
    Roeper Review, 2001
    Co-Authors: John D. Mayer, Donna M. Perkins, David R. Caruso, Peter Salovey
    Abstract:

    This article examines the relation between concepts of Emotional giftedness and Emotional Intelligence, and attempts to relate a person's level of Emotional Intelligence to the actual ways they cope with challenging social situations. Emotional Intelligence and social behavior were explored in a pilot study with adolescents. Emotional Intelligence was measured with the Multifactor Emotional Intelligence Scale (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 1997), an ability‐based measure of Emotional perception, facilitation, understanding, and management. General Intelligence was measured with the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Scale (Dunn & Dunn, 1981). Each of the 11 adolescents also answered questions about how he or she had handled a difficult social encounter. Those with higher Emotional Intelligence were better able to identify their own and others’ emotions in situations, use that information to guide their actions, and resist peer pressure than others.

  • Emotional Intelligence: What The Research Says
    Educational Leadership, 2000
    Co-Authors: Casey D. Cobb, John D. Mayer
    Abstract:

    Emotional Intelligence was popularized by Daniel Goleman’s 1995 best-selling book, Emotional Intelligence. The book described Emotional Intelligence as a mix of skills, such as awareness of emotions; traits, such as persistence and zeal; and good behavior. Goleman (1995) summarized the collection of Emotional Intelligence qualities as “character.”\nThe public received the idea of Emotional Intelligence enthusiastically. To some, it de-emphasized the importance of general IQ and promised to level the playing field for those whose cognitive abilities might be wanting. To others, it offered the potential to integrate the reasoning of a person’s head and heart. Goleman made strong claims: Emotional Intelligence was “as powerful,” “at times more powerful,” and even “twice as powerful” as IQ (Goleman, 1995, p. 34; Goleman, 1998, p. 94). On its cover, Time magazine declared that Emotional IQ “may be the best predictor of success in life, redefining what it means to be smart” (Gibbs, 1995). Goleman’s book became a New York Times—and international—best-seller.\nThe claims of this science journalism extended easily to the schools. Emotional Intelligence concluded that developing students’ Emotional competencies would result in a “‘caring community,’ a place where students feel respected, cared about, and bonded to classmates” (Goleman, 1995, p. 280). A leader of the social and Emotional learning movement referred to Emotional Intelligence as “the integrative concept” underlying a curriculum for Emotional Intelligence (Elias et al., 1997, pp. 27, 29). And the May 1997 issue of Educational Leadership extensively covered the topic of Emotional Intelligence.

  • Emotional Intelligence: Rhetoric or Reality?
    Oxford Handbooks Online, 2009
    Co-Authors: Peter Jeffrey Jordan, Neal M. Ashkanasy, Catherine S Daus
    Abstract:

    The construct of Emotional Intelligence is confusing, and Emotional Intelligence researchers must "seem mad" to be embroiled in debate. To be sure, Emotional Intelligence has been one of the more controversial constructs to be considered in personnel psychology. There have been wide-ranging and substantial claims about the potential of Emotional Intelligence in predicting a broad range of workplace behavior. This article assesses the efficacy of the Emotional Intelligence construct by examining variables that have an impact at the organizational level. In particular, it examines the impact of Emotional Intelligence on prosocial behaviors, antisocial behaviors, and leadership. This article concludes with some recommendations for advancing research into Emotional Intelligence in the area of personnel psychology, and in particular, it comments on the need for Emotional Intelligence research to be extended to cover macro-organizational variables such as culture and climate.

  • Emotional Intelligence in schizophrenia
    Schizophrenia Research, 2009
    Co-Authors: Kirnmy S Kee, Alan P. Fiske, Keith Nuechterlein, Mark J. Sergi, Kenneth L Subotnik, Junghee Lee, Peter Salovey, William P. Horan, Robert S Kern, Catherine A. Sugar
    Abstract:

    Background: Deficits in emotion perception have been extensively documented in schizophrenia and are associated with poor psychosocial functioning. However, little is known about other aspects of emotion processing that are critical for adaptive functioning. The current study assessed schizophrenia patients' performance on a theoretically-based, well-validated, multidimensional measure of Emotional Intelligence, the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (Mayer, J.D., Salovey, P., Caruso, D.R., 2002. Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT): User's Manual. Multi-Health Systems, Inc., Toronto, Ontario). Methods: 50 schizophrenia outpatients and 39 non-psychiatric controls completed the MSCEIT, a performance measure comprised of subtests that assess four components (branches) of Emotional Intelligence: Identifying, Using, Understanding, and Managing Emotions. Among patients, associations between MSCEIT scores and measures of clinical symptoms as well as functional outcome were evaluated. Results: The MSCEIT demonstrated good psychometric properties in both groups. Schizophrenia patients performed significantly worse than controls on the total MSCEIT score, and on three of the four subtests: Identifying, Understanding, and Managing Emotions. Among patients, lower MSCEIT scores significantly correlated with higher negative and disorganized symptoms, as well as worse community functioning. Conclusions: The MSCEIT is a useful tool for investigating emotion processing in schizophrenia. Individuals with schizophrenia demonstrate deficits across multiple domains of emotion processing. These deficits have significant links with clinical symptoms of schizophrenia and with how patients function in their daily lives. Further research is required to understand the links between Emotional Intelligence, clinical symptoms, and functional outcome in schizophrenia. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

  • the science of Emotional Intelligence
    Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2005
    Co-Authors: Peter Salovey, Daisy Grewal
    Abstract:

    This article provides an overview of current research on Emotional Intelligence. Although it has been defined in many ways, we focus on the four-branch model by Mayer and Salovey (1997), which characterizes Emotional Intelligence as a set of four related abilities: perceiving, using, understanding, and managing emotions. The theory provides a useful framework for studying individual differences in abilities related to processing Emotional information. Despite measurement obstacles, the evidence in favor of Emotional Intelligence is accumulating. Emotional Intelligence predicts success in important domains, among them personal and work relationships.
