Emotional intelligence: Points to note
• Emotional intelligence: “ability to monitor one’s own and other’s feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions” (Salovey & Mayer, 1990: 189)
• Emotions as information. Emotional intelligence is value-neutral. It is an ability that can be used for social good or harm.
• Be weary of “kitchen sink” treatments of emotional intelligence that include self and other awareness, social skills, values.
Developing emotion recognition
We present five experiments showing that reading literary
fiction led to better performance on tests of affective ToM
(experiments 1 to 5) and cognitive ToM (experiments 4
and 5) compared with reading nonfiction (experiments 1),
popular fiction (experiments 2 to 5), or nothing at all
(experiments 2 and 5).
Contrary to literary fiction, popular fiction, which is more readerly, tends to portray the world and charactersas internally consistent and predictable
