Correlations and Differences Among Communication Methods and Emotional Competence of Lawyers and Judges

We have presumed that there are no differences in the communication methods, or in the emotional competence of lawyers and judges. We have also presumed that there is a statistically significant correlation between all three communication methods and dimensions of emotional competence, as well as the duration of employment. We have examined a fitting sample of lawyers and judges (98), employees in fitting legal offices or courts in Zagreb. There is no statistically significant difference between lawyers and judges with regard to methods of communication, or with regard to emotional competence. There is a statistically significant positive correlation between all three communication methods and two dimensions of emotional competence: emotion management and emotion perception. However, we have not established any correlation between any of the three communication methods, emotion expression and duration of employment. The possibility of prognosis of the dimensions of communication methods is statistically significant, based on two aspects of emotional competence: the emotion perception and the emotion management. Because of the characteristics of sample and metric characteristics of the tool used for evaluation of communication methods, the possibility of generalization is modest.
