The Importance of Emotional Intelligence (Competence) in Positive Psychology
Emotional intelligence is commonly defined as the set of abilities to process emotion-laden information competently. A series of studies were undertaken in an attempt to determine the adaptive role of emotional intelligence, and its influence on positive outcomes in various situations. Using model of emotional intelligence (Mayer & Salovey, 1997), a set of self-reported scales with appropriate psychometric properties was constructed. The factor-analytic studies revealed three latent dimensions: a) perception and understanding emotion, b) expression and labeling emotion, and c) managing and regulating emotion. The structure closely resembles the factor structure reported in studies using different scales, but within the same model of emotional intelligence (Mayer & Salovey, 1997). The results demonstrated that emotional intelligence has a significantly positive role in many important aspects of human functioning such as: sensitivity for other&#8217 ; s and one&#8217 ; s own emotions, emotional self-concept, coping with stress, maintaining positive mood, and openness. In regards to prognostic validity of emotional intelligence and competence, the strongest observed relationship was with the quality of leadership, and life satisfaction. In conclusion it could be said that emotional intelligence does not have to compete emotional with academic or general intelligence, but rather that they could be understood as complementary in reaching the best possible outcome for every human being: to be happy in life.
