Emotional Intelligence
Emotions are part of a management system to co-ordinate each individual's multiple plans and goals under constraints of time and other resources. Emotions are also part of the biological solution to the problem of how to plan and to carry out action aimed at satisfying multiple goals in environments, which are not always predictable. Emotions are based on non-propositional communications that can be called 'emotion signals’. An interesting aspect of research is “Can emotions exist and exert influence at the unconscious level?” Freud's view was that emotions could not be unconscious, that their experience is bound with the conscious experience, and that only predispositions towards certain emotions can exist in the unconscious (contempt, disgust, and shame); supplying it’s own unique kind of motivating information. According to our textbook (Bukato & Daehler 1998) emotions have three components. The physiological component involves body changes. This includes respiration, increased heart rate and sweating. Smiles, grimaces, frowns and laughter are all facial displays that are part of the expressive component. How a person interprets and evaluates their emotional state is the experiential component. Development of Emotions the question to scientists is whether or not emotion and mood is formed through mind processes or biologically innate traits. Scientists are searching the brain for a particular area that stimulates emotion in humans. They have changed their idea that it might be the hippocampus and now feel that part of it may come from the amygdala. Supposedly when something known by our senses comes in interaction with us, an impulse is sent to this amygdala and it sends another impulse to our cortex. ...

... be emotionally unstable are reacting in anger and frustration without any discussion of their feelings. Because of their unacceptable emotional behavior, they risk promotions and their job. Emotions are complex responses to internal or external events. Being aware of the effects of emotions on self and on others will help a person to deal with everyday life situations

Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of oneself or of groups. Researchers such as Peter Salvoey and John D. Mayer define it as “the subset of intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions” (Feeley& Driscoll CPA, 2014). In this paper, I will identify the role emotional intelligence plays in the critical thinking skills used by the forensic accountant during various stages of the investigative services of the engagement.
The human brain weighs only 3lbs. Though it is the most fragile organ in the human body is the most complex. It has complete control over a person 's physical and psychological homeostasis. The brain plays a large role when it comes to emotions. The amygdala is a structure in the brain that recognizes the first response to an emotional event. It is a tiny almond shaped structure located deep within the brain. This tiny structure triggers a series of reactions within the brain and sends signals throughout the body that account for body language, facial expression, breathing and awareness. These emotions are important in social interactions and forming social connections. The awareness of one’s emotion is crucial to everyday decision making,
As a supervisor in the military, I encountered an airman who had all the right qualifications according to the Air Force, but he was not able to complete his contracted term of six years. He survived basic training and a pretty intense two month technical school, but he only lasted two years in the Air Force before he was asked to leave. To work in the Public Affairs career field, he had to score well on the military entrance exam which means he demonstrated the cognitive abilities – a usual predictor of success. However, he was separated from the Air Force because of his poor social skills. This paper will discuss whether the airman's Emotional Intelligence (EI) could have been improved and the importance of a high EI to an organization.
As humans, emotions are an unavoidable occurrence. People get angry, sad, happy, surprised, etcetera. In some cases, it is harder
Throughout the years of slavery, slaves were subjected to various forms of physical and emotional tortures being forced upon them by their slave masters. For a slave woman, one of these hardships included that of being separated from her children, never to see them again, through the selling of slaves. If a slave master were to decide that they wanted to buy or sell only one slave from a family no questions were asked. Harriet Beacher Stowe, a white, and the daughter of a priest with a strong religious background, found herself able to relate to a slave woman in terms of the feeling brought from losing a child. In 1849, Stowe lost her infant son Charlie to cholera. This experience left her devastated. 1848 brought about the beginning of the
He concluded that individuals who exhibit these skills are more successful than those that don’t. Emotions are universal – swing emotions (anxiety and anxiety can go both ways). People have to learn to convert fear and anxiety in to an energy to create a positive energy. It can encourage you or derail you. The emotional intelligence blueprint forces us to “take action” and develop our own emotional intelligence. He concedes that there are three common emotions that everyone feels on a daily basis: frustration, anxiety and enthusiasm (Weisinger, 2010 ). We all have the same emotions, but we express them differently. Applying emotional intelligence can include: observing your actions, being entuned to your intentions, and learning to relax. Managing anger includes realizing what is wrong and acknowledging that you are angry, in addition to asking yourself if you may have interpreted the other persons actions incorrectly and therefore may have over reacted. He also suggests that clarifying our feelings of doubt, in addition to coming to terms with the idea that there are going to be periods of uncertainty will help to alleviate anxiety (Weisinger, 2010 ). During periods of dejection/disappointment he suggests acknowledging your feelings and seeking a reliable support system that can help you reassess your goals. Weisinger suggests when feelings of fear begin to creep in people should acknowledge that they are experiencing the emotion and then evaluate the nature of the threat to determine if they are indeed scared or just overly concerned (Weisinger, 2010
Human emotions get the best of us during times of extreme distress, panic, anger, loneliness, etc. We are slaves to our psyche since it is our minds that control and provide our thought process, which directly relates to our own actions. Emotions occur naturally, automatically and are triggered by our surroundings and significant events that leave an impression on us.
An individual’s ability to control and express their emotions is just as important as his/her ability to respond, understand, and interpret the emotions of others. The ability to do both of these things is emotional intelligence, which, it has been argued, is just as important if not more important than IQ (Cassady & Eissa, 2011). Emotional intelligence refers to one’s ability to perceive emotions, control them, and evaluate them. While some psychologists argue that it is innate, others claim that it is possible to learn and strengthen it. Academically, it has been referred to as social intelligence sub-set. This involves an individual’s ability to monitor their emotions and feelings, as well as those of others, and to differentiate them in a manner that allows the individuals to integrate them in their actions and thoughts (Cassady & Eissa, 2011).
...und thoughts. Their purpose to make sure we survive to the next day through fight or flight. The way an emotions are processed is that right brain identifies then left brain decides logically what to do and uses the sympathetic nervous system to relay it's response and the GABA keeps it in control. The mentality of emotions consists of memory of which your emotions are also stored in, decision-making which includes the emotions in your memory in the decision-making, the thoughts,opinions in the brain, and the attention span are also are affected by your emotional state. Thus based on your emotional states and experiences your brain chemistry will behave towards the best interest of surviving to the next day even though this is different for each person the emotions one is experiencing and how their brain reacts is the correlation between brain chemistry and emotions.
I would definitely talk to the people that are running the contest and inform them of situation and the plagiarism that went on. I would then talk to the person that was doing the plagiarizing and let them know of my disapproval as well as let that person know that I had talked to the people running the contest and informed them of the situation. I think that a person with high emotional intelligence would have handled the situation as I did. A person with medium emotional intelligence would have probably done all of the same things but in more of a (“in your face”) confrontational way. A person with low emotional intelligence would have probably just confronted the person doing the plagiarizing in a violent and confrontational way.
Last but not least, parents of functional families encourage children in academic affairs and to nurture peer friendships, a very important element while transitioning into adolescence (Merchant, 2001). On the other hand, children from dysfunctional families, tend to miss treating children and not really nurture them as often. This could include single parent homes, drug addicted parents. The following factors have a profound impact on social development for middle childhood children: excessive conflicts within the home, overly authoritarian parents and coldness in the family (Merchant, 2001). As for physical development, the cognitive development of middle childhood is slow and steady.... ...
Emotion is the “feeling” aspect of consciousness that includes physical, behavioral, and subjective (cognitive) elements. Emotion also contains three elements which are physical arousal, a certain behavior that can reveal outer feelings and inner feelings. One key part in the brain, the amygdala which is located within the limbic system on each side of the brain, plays a key role in emotional processing which causes emotions such as fear and pleasure to be involved with the human facial expressions.The common-sense theory of emotion states that an emotion is experienced first, leading to a physical reaction and then to a behavioral reaction.The James-Lange theory states that a stimulus creates a physiological response that then leads to the labeling of the emotion. The Cannon-Bard theory states that the physiological reaction and the emotion both use the thalamus to send sensory information to both the cortex of the brain and the organs of the sympathetic nervous system. The facial feedback hypothesis states that facial expressions provide feedback to the brain about the emotion being expressed on the face, increasing all the emotions. In Schachter and Singer’s cognitive arousal theory, also known as the two-factor theory, states both the physiological arousal and the actual arousal must occur before the emotion itself is experienced, based on cues from the environment. Lastly, in the cognitive-mediational theory
One scientist, Damasio, provided an explanation how emotions can be felt in humans biologically. Damasio suggested, “Various brain structures map both the organism and external objects to create what he calls a second order representation. This mapping of the organism and the object most likely occurs in the thalamus and cingulate cortices. A sense of self in the act of knowing is created, and the individual knows “to whom this is happening.” The “seer” and the “seen,” the “thought” and the “thinker” are one in the same.” By mapping the brain scientists can have a better understandi...
...uring hearings of cases many incidents happen in court when something gets concerned with their own personality or some cruel one made an abuse to them so they have to calm down and have to show intelligence and should have to control their emotions. Also soldiers in army. Many of emotionally intelligent people like to be a soldier because they are the ones who live for the safeguard of their country. They leave their families and go out to sacrifice their lives for their country. It’s a big example of emotionally stable persons who leave their emotions left behind for their obligatory duty.
Emotions are defined as "stereotypic patterns of the body, which are triggered by the central nervous system in response to distinct external environmental situations or to the recollection of memories related to such situations." (2) In other words, this means the emotions are the way the nervous system reacts to different situations one might find themselves in. In order to survive, emotional responses must be present. (2) "Whenever an emotion is triggered, a network of brain regions (traditionally referred to as the limbic system) generates a pattern of stereotypic outputs, which ultimately induce a biological response of the body." (2) These stereotypic outputs are what humans call emotions. They are predictable responses to certain situations, for instance when a person is in a sad situation, they will cry and feel depressed or if a person is in a happy situation, they will laugh and smile. These responses are because "specific circuits of the emotional motor system have evolved to both generate this stereotypic emotional facial response, as well as instantaneously recognize it when it occurs in somebody else." (2) This holds true for people in love, when you see someone in love you can tell because their face tells all.
