Emotional Self-Awareness
Emotional Self-Regulation
Technically monitoring your own feelings and the effect you have on others, passionate
knowledge expects you to have the option to direct and deal with your feelings is defined as
emotional self-regulation and classified as second component of emotional intelligence. This
doesn't mean putting feelings on lock-down and concealing your actual sentiments but it
basically means sitting tight for the perfect time, spot, and road to express your feelings. Self-
regulation is tied in with communicating your feelings properly. The individuals who are gifted
in self-regulation will in general be adaptable and adjust well to change. (Brackett, Rivers, &
Salovey, 2011)
Mayer and Salovey (Mayer et al., 2016) proposed a four-branch ability model of
emotional intelligence that distinguished among four branches of problem-solving necessary to
carry out emotional reasoning stating:
Perceiving Emotion
Select problems based on how one’s ongoing emotional state might facilitate cognition
Leverage mood swings to generate different cognitive perspectives
Prioritize thinking by directing attention according to present feeling
Generate emotions as an aid to judgment and memory
Understanding Emotions
Managing Emotions
Each ability influences how individuals utilize emotions to facilitate thinking or regulate
emotions to focus on important information. For these reasons, emotional intelligence is
hypothesized to correlate moderately with other intelligences, like verbal-propositional
intelligence. A recent meta-analysis of 18 studies that used the MSCEIT and its predecessor test,
the Multi-factor Emotional Intelligence Scale validate that scores on the test correlate more
highly with measures of crystallized rather than fluid intelligence. The Understanding of
Emotion domain on the MSCEIT tends to have the strongest relationship to measures of general
cognitive function and these studies provide preliminary evidence for the neural correlates of
emotional intelligence.(Cherniss, Extein, Goleman, & Weissberg, 2006)
The most common complaints that lead people to psychotherapy are anxiety and
depression. The skills associated with emotional intelligence, therefore, should help individuals
to deal effectively with unpleasant emotions and to promote pleasant emotions in order to
promote both personal growth and wellbeing. MSCEIT scores correlate with psychopathologies
that have roots in emotional disturbances, including depression, social anxiety disorder, and
schizophrenia. It also appears that individuals with higher MSCEIT scores are more likely to
seek psychotherapy in times of need and emotional intelligence is a protective factor for serious
psychological problems among adolescents. (Grewal & Salovey, 2005)
Social Functioning
But as of this writing, when it comes to preparing young people in the essential emotional
intelligence skills that matter most for their success in the workplace, for piloting their careers,
and for leadership, we face a serious gap. The SEL programs cover the early school years but not
higher education. Only a scattered handful of pioneering SEL courses exist at the college or
professional level. And yet the data showing the crucial role EI skills play in career success make
a compelling case for re-envisioning higher education in order to give these capabilities their
place in a well-rounded curriculum. (Mayer et al., 2016)
