Scope:
The term “emotional intelligence” was coined in 1990 by
Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer. It may be defined as a
form of social intelligence that involves the ability to
monitor the feelings and emotions of oneself and of
other people, to discriminate among the various feelings
and emotions, and to use this information to guide one’s
thinking and actions. (Levinson, Encyclopedia of Human
Emotions)
Emotional intelligence involves four areas which include
1) the ability to perceive, appraise, and express
emotion accurately 2) the ability to access and generate
feelings when they facilitate cognition 3) the ability
to understand affect-laden information and make use of
emotional knowledge 4) the ability to regulate emotions
to promote growth and well-being
The purpose of this pathfinder is to serve as a
