The Relationship

Целью данного исследования было выявить возможные связи между эмоциональным интеллектом, интернальностью и удовлетворенностью жизнью у женщин и мужчин в русскоязычной выборке. Показано, что у женщин с интернальностью положительно связаны такие переменные, как управление своими эмоциями , самоменеджмент , распознание эмоций других людей и интегративный показатель эмоционального интеллекта , а у мужчин только с самоменеджментом, при этом интегративный показатель эмоционального интеллекта имеет лишь тенденцию положительной связи с интернальностью. Установлено наличие положительной связи удовлетворенности жизнью мужчин и женщин с интегративным показателем эмоционального интеллекта и рядом его компонентов: эмоциональной осведомленностью , управлением собственными эмоциями , самоменеджментом и распознанием эмоций других людей . Полученные результаты в целом совпадают с общими выводами зарубежных исследователей о положительной связи эмоционального интеллекта с интернальностью и удовлетворенностью жизнью, но при этом в данном исследовании: а) конкретизированы компоненты эмоционального интеллекта, за счет которых такие связи; б) установлены совпадения и различия в этих связях для мужчин и женщин. Интернальность женщин положительно и статистически значимо связана с удовлетворенностью жизнью. У мужчин связь между этими характеристиками личности отсутствует. Сопоставить эти результаты с выводами других исследователей невозможно ввиду того, что не удалось обнаружить работ о связи между интернальностью и удовлетворенностью жизнью ни у русскоязычных, ни у зарубежных авторов. У женщин в среднем выше показатели эмпатии, распознания эмоций других людей и интегративного показателя эмоционального интеллекта. The purpose of this study was to identify possible links between emotional intelligence, internality, and life satisfaction in women and men in the Russian-speaking sample. It has been shown that in women, internality is positively associated with such variables as control of their emotions, self-management, recognition of the emotions of other people and the integrative indicator of emotional intelligence, and in men only with self-management, while the integrative indicator of emotional intelligence has only a positive tendency for internality. The presence of a positive relationship between satisfaction with the life of men and women with an integrative indicator of emotional intelligence and a number of its components: emotional awareness, control of one's own emotions, self-management and recognition of the emotions of other people was established. The results obtained generally coincide with the general conclusions of foreign researchers about a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and internality and life satisfaction, but at the same time in this study: a) the components of emotional intelligence, due to which such connections are made, are specified; b) the coincidences and differences in these connections for men and women were established. The internality of women is positively and statistically significantly associated with life satisfaction. In men, there is no connection between these personality characteristics. It is impossible to compare these results with the conclusions of other researchers due to the fact that it was not possible to find works on the relationship between internality and life satisfaction either in Russian-speaking or foreign authors. Women, on average, have higher scores for empathy, recognition of other people's emotions, and an integrative score for emotional intelligence.

The present study reports a sublongitudinal experiment involving 15 employees (4 male and 11 female) of an insurance company all of whom underwent a 12-month program of intensive mental training and physical coaching in order to ascertain whether or not certain characteristics of personality, attitudes, beliefs or performance would be altered. Each participant was assessed on a battery of different questionnaires including: background variables, Change and Stability, Life Orientation test, Coping Resources Inventory and the Gordon personal profile and inventory. There was no change in Dispositional optimism or ten other related personality traits. Only four of the personality variables were altered on completion of the training program: the participants' self-evaluations were elevated, the stability of their norms and system of values was reinforced, their emotional stability was reinforced also, and their receptivity to new ideas/innovations was reinforced. These results are discussed in the context of the relative constancy of personality characteristics and the suitability of the observed changes, after the 12-month program, in promoting strategies of coping behavior.

Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), this paper investigates how pro-active time-use (e.g., in sports/arts/socializing) relates to subjective well-being of the unemployed and their probability of finding a new job. Allowing for a variety of socio-demographic and -economic observed characteristics, we find that pro-activity is negatively associated with the well-being loss upon unemployment. That is, the negative unemployment shock on their well-being is mitigated through various stress-reducing activities including, in particular, art participation, socializing, going on trips and visiting a church. We also find that the probability of returning to the labor market later is positively associated with pro-activity during the unemployment period. The results are robust to various checks including estimators, measures and individual personality characteristics which can correlate with time-use activities.
