Emotional Intelligence: Components and Correlates.

Abstract: There is no accepted definition and no adequate measure for the concept of Emotional Intelligence (EI). Some of the myriad issues surrounding EI are discussed here. One problem in the consideration of EI is the confusion between the terms "feelings" and "emotions." Differences between the two are examined and a working definition of feelings is offered. To further refine the concept of EI, the Style in the Perception of Affect Scale was developed to measure skills in the integrated, rapid, and effortless awareness of changes in body feelings that constitute the prompts for emotions. Accurate and rapid awareness of the feelings, it is suggested, allows for accurate and rapid emotional and behavioral responses. Without this skill, responses tend to be delayed and inappropriate. Analysis shows that this style of perceiving feelings correlates highly with mental health, contentment, creativity, and personal warmth. It is theorized that this style, by utilizing the subject's feeling awareness of the subtleties in the communications and responses of other persons, is the foundation also for empathy and social intelligence, which are qualities often grouped with EI. It is further suggested that this skill in rapid attention to changing bodily feelings may promote self-healing.

Effect of Gender and GPA on Emotional Intelligence.

Abstract: The effect of gender and grade point average (GPA) on emotional intelligence (EQ) was studied using the Emotional Intelligence Inventory. The inventory was completed by 138 college students, and data were analyzed using a multivariate factorial model with three factors of EQ as dependent variables (compassion, self-awareness, and attunement) and two independent variables, gender and GPA. Multivariate analysis of variance was pdrformed using the Statistical Analysis System. Data show an overall significant multivariate effect of gender on three factors of EQ. Female students had higher scores on the compassion and self-awareness factors than male counterparts. However, there was no significant gender difference on the attunement factor. There was no overall significant multivariate GPA effect on the three factors of EQ. (Contains 2 tables and 19 references.)

Removing the paradox of conflict from group decisions

Abstract: The article reports on conflict in the decision-making process and a study of group decision-making by management teams. According to research by Allen Amason of Mississippi State University, cognitive conflict develops from differences in perspectives and is functional, while affective conflict tends to be an emotional response to a person and is considered dysfunctional because it does not focus on the problem. The study found that cognitive conflict can improve the quality of decisions, understanding of issues in the process, and acceptance of the group's decision.

Measuring Emotional Intelligence: A Case in Korea

Abstract: This paper describes an exploratory attempt to establish construct validity of a test that measures emotional intelligence, Based on the existing literature, emotional intelligence is hypothesized as a multi-dimensional construct composed of five subconstructs. An instrument was developed to measure emotional intelligence. The processes of construct validation including a reliability check and a statistical analysis on the underlying dimension of the 47 items are explained. The findings confirm that emotional intelligence is a multi-dimensional construct that requires subtests to cover separate subdimension. The study also provided an empirical evidence to the argument that emotional intelligence is highly close to interand intra-personal intelligence, subsets of multiple intelligence.
