The Emotional Intelligence, Health, and Well‐Being Nexus
This paper reviews the claimed pivotal role of emotional intelligence (EI) in well‐being and health. Specifically, we examine the utility of EI in predicting health and well‐being and point to future research issues that the field might profitably explore. EI is predictive of various indicators of well‐being, as well as both physical and psychological health, but existing research has methodological limitations including over‐reliance on self‐rep…
Emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence (EI) is a relatively new construct in differential psychology. Proponents of EI have made strong claims for its importance in basic and applied psychology. This article considers whether the promise of EI has been fulfilled. We examine various fundamental challenges to establishing EI as a major individual differences factor, including cross‐cultural issues. We then examine strategies for assessing EI as a personal quality …

Development of Emotional Intelligence
This paper examines the development of emotional intelligence (EI) in childhood. It is proposed that ambiguities in conceptualizing EI may be resolved by distinguishing multiple levels of emotion-regulation processes. Temperament, rule-based skill acquisition, and self-aware emotion regulation are differentiat-ed as potential sources of individual differences. We review empirical studies that demonstrate multiple mechanisms linked to these levels…

Slow down, you move too fast
Commentators on the R. D. Roberts, M. Zeidner, and G. Matthews (2001) article on the measurement of emotional intelligence (EI) made various pertinent observations that confirm the growing interest in this topic. This rejoinder finds general agreement on some key issues: learning from the history of ability testing, developing more sophisticated structural models of ability, studying emotional abilities across the life span, and establishing pred…

Does emotional intelligence meet traditional standards for an intelligence? Some new data and conclusions
Performance-based measures of emotional intelligence (EI) are more likely than measures based on self-report to assess EI as a construct distinct from personality. A multivariate investigation was conducted with the performance-based, Multi-Factor Emotional Intelligence Scale (MEIS; J. D. Mayer, D. Caruso, & P. Salovey, 1999). Participants (N = 704) also completed the Trait Self-Description Inventory (TSDI, a measure of the Big Five personality f…

Statistics and Mathematics Anxiety in Social Science Students
This study illuminates some interesting parallels between statistics anxiety and mathematics anxiety in social science students. Parallel to what is confirmed for mathematics anxiety, two factors were observed to underly statistics anxiety scores, namely, statistics test anxiety and content anxiety. The study revealed modest though significant correlations between student attributes and the two confirmed dimensions of statistics anxiety. Furtherm…

In addition, this study explored their perceptions of the social distance of each of these five target groups and the relationship between a gr…

Anxiety and Achievement in a Multicultural Situation
Oral reading comprehension test scores are generally determined by a variety of factors, not only by task difficulty and examinee proficiency, but also by stimuli extraneous to the testing task itself — such as group vs. individual testing situation, scorer method and bias, and examinees’ sociolinguistic background, motivational disposition, and anxiety during the test. By giving the same examination under the same testing conditions to students,…
