Description
The ability to sense, use, comprehend, manage, and handle emotions is commonly referred to as emotional intelligence (EI). People with high emotional intelligence are able to notice their own and others’ emotions, use emotional information to drive their thoughts and conduct, distinguish between different feelings and name them appropriately, and alter emotions to fit their surroundings.
EI has been measured using a variety of models. Konstantinos V. Petrides established the trait model in 2001, which focuses on self-reporting of behavioural inclinations and perceived skills. The ability model, created in 2004 by Peter Salovey and John Mayer, focuses on a person’s ability to interpret emotional information and apply it to navigate the social environment. Goleman’s original model can now be classified as a mixed model, as it incorporates what has previously been treated as ability EI and trait EI separately.Emotion recognition, which refers to the attribution of emotional states based on observations of visual and aural nonverbal signals, has been the focus of more recent studies. Furthermore, neuroscientific research has attempted to characterise the brain underpinnings of emotional intelligence.
Although no direct correlations have been shown, studies have demonstrated that those with high EI have better mental health, work performance, and leadership skills. Empathy is often related with EI because it requires a person to connect their own personal experiences with those of others. The Mangal Emotional Intelligence Inventory is a well-known and useful tool for assessing emotional intelligence. This inventory is thoroughly described in this workshop.
A one-day workshop on Mangal Emotional Intelligence Scale(MEI) was conducted by INSTITUTE OF PSYCHOSPIRITUAL THERAPY COUNSELLING AND RESEARCH . The webinar was attended by 50+ participants. All the participants were trained the guidance of Mr. Bharat Kumar (Trainer, Director).
