Emotional Intelligence and Day-To-Day Emotion Regulation Processes: Examining Motives for Social Sharing

There is growing interest in the emotion regulation processes that underlie the adaptive functioning of emotionally intelligent individuals. This study uses experience sampling to examine whether the emotional intelligence (EI) of undergraduate students (N = 84) relates to their day-to-day use of five emotion regulation processes over a five-day period. We also test whether EI predicts motives for one of the emotion regulation processes (social sharing). We measure both ability EI (the brief Situational Test of Emotion Management) and self-rated EI (the Self-Rated Emotional Intelligence Scale). Self-rated EI significantly predicts more social sharing, direct situation modification and reappraisal. Ability EI does not significantly predict any of the five regulation processes. Both ability and self-rated EI are significantly related to greater bonding and relief motives for social sharing. Self-rated EI is also related to recovery motives. These results suggest that it is the self-beliefs about one’s emotional abilities, rather than emotion knowledge, which influence the emotion regulation processes people use in daily life.

Emotion regulation strategies have been characterized as adaptive or maladaptive; however, the ability to switch strategies to best suit the situation (regulatory flexibility and adaptability) underlies effective emotion regulation. Emotional intelligence may be a key capacity that enables flexible emotion regulation. We use experience sampling data from 165 participants to test whether emotional intelligence abilities (emotion understanding and management) predict variability in four emotion regulation strategies. Results show that both the emotion understanding and emotion management branches of emotional intelligence significantly relate to between-strategy variability (with moderate effect sizes), but only emotion understanding significantly predicts within-strategy variability. These findings support the hypothesis that emotional intelligence is an important predictor of the ability to flexibly vary emotion regulation depending on the situation.

Abstract. Different lines of research suggest that individuals differ in accessing self-referential information, that is, to know who they are, what they think, want, need, or feel, and that this construct is positively associated with emotion regulation, adaptive functioning, well-being, and meaning in life. We developed a brief scale of five items, the Self-Access Form (SAF) and conducted four studies to approve its validity with respect to markers of adaptive personality functioning and health. Study 1 shows a clear, unidimensional factor structure for the SAF. Self-access correlates positively with adaptive self- and emotion regulation, as well as with psychological and physical health, but does not correlate with private self-consciousness (Study 2). Additionally, self-access is positively related to self-complexity and self-integration as two markers of adaptive self-development (Study 3). It is also inversely related to self-infiltration, that is, the misconception of other individuals’ expectations as own goals (Study 4). We conclude that self-access can validly be measured by a brief scale and positively relates to adaptive functioning and health.

Aims:Emotional intelligence is the measure of the comprehension of one's emotional state and the capability to manage emotions, to recognize emotions in others and to react to those emotions appropriately (Salovey & Mayer, 1990).In previous studies a strong correlation was found between low emotional intelligence and depression. (e.g.,Berrocal, Alcaide, Extremera, & Pizarro, 2006).Since antidepressants attempt to solve depression by numbing patients’ emotions and making the emotions more controllable (Arce et al, 2008; Davison, 2005), it was our hypothesis that antidepressants will lower emotional intelligence.Method:A package of questionnaires was distributed to 195 undergraduate students. Included in the package was a questionnaire asking subjects whether depressed, and were they taking antidepressants. Also included were the SCL-90 used to assess emotional distress (Derogatis,1985), the Beck Depression Inventory used to assess level of depression (Beck, 1981), and the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale used to evaluate level of emotional intelligence.Results:The results not only agreed with the findings of previous research linking low levels of emotional intelligence to depression, but also supported the hypothesis that the use of antidepressants would be linked to lower levels of emotional intelligence (r (191)= -.158, p< .029) This is a powerful finding, considering that the sample size was rather small. Only about 15% of the sample reported being prescribed antidepressants to treat their depression.Conclusions:The results of this study suggest that taking antidepressants as a form of treatment for depression might impact negatively on patients’ ability to handle their emotions.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is considered as a successful predictor of academic achievement. Researchers have claimed that EI predicts success in schools/colleges/universities. The present study is an attempt in this direction. Three hundred Post-graduate girl Psychology students, studying at Indian Institute of Psychological Research, Bangalore, constituted as a sample for the present study. The students were administered with Emotional Intelligence Scale to measure their EI. EI score were compared with final semester examination marks. EI in its five domains such as Self-recognition, Self-regulation, Self-motivation, Empathy and Handling relations was positively associated with academic achievement. Over all EI score showed that 23% of the students were emotionally intelligent and excellent on academic achievement. Students, who were high on EI, were academically excellent. Results clearly indicated that there is a significant difference (P > 0.0001) existing between the EI and academic achievement among college students. EI played a major role in promoting academic achievement among college students. Also, the study has brought out the fact that the emotional well being could be emphasized on academic achievement
