Reducing Stress

A series of studies have shown that humor is associated with close interpersonal relationships and effective in reducing stress, which in turn enhances empathy. Therefore, it was hypothesized that humor and empathic concern would be positively correlated. The Empathic Concern subscale of the Empathy Questionnaire, the Coping Humor Scale, the Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale, and the Situational Humor Response Questionnaire were given to 124 subjects. Scores on the Empathic Concern subcale were significantly correlated with those on each of the humor scales. Types of humor may be an important variable in the relationship between empathic concern and humor. Both humor and empathic concern are associated for people with emotional intelligence who use these to interact effectively with other individuals. As such, it was suggested that exploration would yield a relation between humor and emotional self-awareness, which is also associated with emotional intelligence.

Kajian empirikal ke atas kecerdasan emosi telah menunjukkan bahawa wujudnya perkaitan yang rapat antara kecerdasan emosi dengan tingkah laku pelajar. Pada masa yang sama, laporan mengenai beberapa kejadian yang berkaitan dengan cetusan emosi dalam kalangan pelajar di negara kita menimbulkan persoalan tentang tahap kecerdasan emosi mereka. Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti indeks kecerdasan emosi dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah menengah dan menghuraikan profil kecerdasan emosi mereka. Sampel kajian ini terdiri daripada 513 orang pelajar tingkatan dua dan empat di empat buah sekolah di negeri Selangor dan Negeri Sembilan. Inventori Kecerdasan Emosi Malaysia – Remaja (IKEM–R) ditadbir untuk mengukur kecerdasan emosi responden. Indeks kecerdasan emosi diukur berdasarkan tujuh domain kecerdasan emosi bermula dari 0 – 100 bagi menggambarkan kedudukan kecerdasan emosi mereka. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa indeks kecerdasan emosi pelajar–pelajar yang dikaji ialah 76.02, iaitu berada di bahagian bawah kuartil keempat. Profil kecerdasan emosi bagi keseluruhan sampel mendapati terdapat tiga domain yang memperoleh skor kurang dari 75 peratus, iaitu domain–domain regulasi kendiri, kemahiran sosial dan kesedaran kendiri. Justeru, ketiga–tiga domain ini perlu diberi perhatian untuk meningkatkan kecerdasan emosi mereka secara keseluruhan. Kertas ini juga melaporkan profil kecerdasan emosi mengikut tingkatan, jantina dan lokasi sekolah. Kata kunci: Kecerdasan emosi; perkembangan emosi; remaja Empirical research on emotional intelligence has uncovered the relationship between emotional intelligence and students’ behavior. Concomitantly, reports in the media regarding events that are related to emotional outburst among the students raised an issue about students’ level of emotional intelligent. This study aims to identify emotional intelligence quotient among secondary school students. Additionally, this study also aims to describe their emotional intelligence profile. Sample of the study consisted of 513 form two and form four students from four schools in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. Malaysian Emotional Quotient Inventory for adolescene (MEQI–A) was administered to determine the emotional quotient of the respondent. The EQ index was calculated based on the seven domains and ranging from 0 – 100 to describe individual’s emotional intelligence. Results of the study showed emotional intelligence index of the respondents at 76.02 that is in the lower part of the fourth quartile. The emotional intelligence profile for the whole sampel showed respondents scored less than 75 percent in three domains namely the domain of self–regulation, social skills and self awareness. Thus, these domains should be addressed accordingly in order to increase students’ emotional intelligence as a whole. This paper also reported the profile of emotional intelligence according to form, gender and school location. Key words: Emotional intelligence; emotional development; adolescence

PurposeThis research paper aims to follow a line of research that examines the impact of elements of emotional intelligence (EI), particularly those related to self‐awareness, on self‐other agreement and performance.Design/methodology/approachThis is a quantitative study that employs the same methodology as Sosik and Megerian to analyze survey data gathered from a matched sample of 146 managers and 1,314 subordinates at a large international technology company based in North America.FindingsThe analysis revealed that the relationship between EI and leader performance is strongest for managers who underestimate their leader abilities. Underestimators earn higher follower ratings of leader performance than all other agreement categories (In agreement/good, In agreement/poor, and Overestimators). The analysis also suggests that there appears to be a negative relationship between EI and leader performance for managers who overestimate their leader abilities.Research limitations/implicationsImplications of the counterintuitive findings for underestimators as well as the imperative for further study utilizing alternative measures of EI are discussed.Originality/valuePrevious empirical work in this area used an ad hoc measure of EI. This study extends this work by utilizing a larger, business sample and employing a widely‐used and validated measure of EI, the Emotional Quotient Inventory. Results further illuminate the nature of the relationship between EI and self‐other agreement and provide a potential selection and development tool for the improvement of leadership performance.

Background: Emotional intelligence (EI) involves a combination of competencies which allow a person to be aware of, to understand the emotions of others and to use this knowledge to foster their and others success. Objective: This study aims to provide a systematic review of published researches on the emotional intelligence among women. Methodology: To achieve this aims, papers were selected in January 2019 with search terms “Emotional intelligence” “Emotional intelligence among women” and “Gender in emotional intelligence” from five databases: Scopus, PsycINFO, Springer, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. 26 research based article were evaluated published from 2010 to 2018. Results: The analysis the published articles considered two basic central themes in the study of emotional intelligence among women: level of women emotional intelligence and emotional intelligence attributes. The study revealed the level of emotional intelligence is low, meaning that women are less emotionally intelligent. Similarly, the study identified ten (10) emotional intelligence attributes among women which include empathy, social responsibility, stress tolerance, emotional self-awareness, emotional expression, independence, flexibility, problem solving, impulse control, interpersonal relationships and optimism. Conclusions: Considering the results of various studies analysed in this review clearly, identified methodological weakness in emotional intelligence study such as sample size most of the studies but only few studies recognised and report the limitation. Similarly, none of these studies investigate the causes of this low state of emotional intelligence among women. The findings add to the growing empirical evidence regarding emotional intelligence. Future researches should look into some of these limitation and address sample size challenges, for batter generalization of research findings, sample size should always be considered. Future work should as well examine in more detail the role of cognitive or other factors in determining the emotional intelligence among women

The Relationship

Emotional intelligence may affect organizational performance, and the aim of our research was to examine whether this statement can be proven in the case of financially successful organizations or not. Information about leaders has been derived from online surveys with Genos EI and also from interviews, and we gathered data about organizational success from the national TAX system. Leaders usually determine group and organizational effectiveness, so we analyzed data from 22 leaders working in successful Hungarian companies. According to our results, some emotional competencies correlate with performance. In this case self-awareness, awareness of others and self-management seemed to affect organizational performance. In our regression analysis, self-awareness seemed to be a predictor variable of performance. The relationship between emotional intelligence and performance should be examined further by expanding on the analysis of other performance indicators and leadership styles.

The Relationship

Emotional intelligence is an important variable related to the interaction and functioning of sports teams. The present study examined the relationship between players’ trait emotional intelligence and functional and dysfunctional psychobiosocial states. In particular, we examined the mediating effects of intra-team communication efficacy and role ambiguity in this relationship. The participants were 291 (174 men and 117 women) Italian players involved in various team sports (i.e., futsal, soccer, volleyball, handball, and rugby). They completed a multi-section questionnaire assessing the study variables during the early/middle part of their competitive seasons. Structural equation modeling (SEM) showed trait emotional intelligence to positively predict functional psychobiosocial states and negatively predict dysfunctional psychobiosocial states. Effective intra-team communication mediated the relationship between emotional intelligence and functional states, while role ambiguity was a mediator of the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and dysfunctional states. Overall, the results highlight the importance of examining trait emotional intelligence as an antecedent of players’ psychobiosocial states in applied sport contexts both in terms of team functioning and individual optimal sport experience.
