EQ - Emotional Intelligence; practice and science 4100-INTEMOC-B-OG
The subject covers the area of practical and theoretical issues of Emotional Intelligence (EQ); a construct which explains the processes of relating to others in everyday personal and professional life. It has been introduced by D. Goleman (1996), P.Salovey & J. Mayer (1989) at the end of XXth Century. Additionally, In the course of the subject the issues of so called interpersonal inteligence, group intelligence, the concept of boids – mechanism of flokcs, herds and schools bbehavior (crowd “intelligence”) introduced by C.Reynolds (1987) will be included. Due to the contemporary knowledge on the subject EQ is the basic factor responsible for a person’s success in life and its mastering should be one of the main goals of a socialization process.
Main focus of the instructional proceedings is on two basic questions: 1. How EQ and its related constructs affects the effectiveness of an individual in their social (personal & professional) life?
2. Are we equipped with EQ by birth or is it a learned commodity?
Additionally, the question on “herd innteligence” based on Reynolds concept of boids – how it affects group (crowd included) functioning in social animal (flocks, herds, schools) and human . (football fans, political demonstrations and unrests) behavior and what kind of intelligence (or psychological mechanisms) is applied by participants of these events in action.
The topics of consequtive classes are:
- What is emotional intelligence (EQ); theoretical basis
- 3 models of EQ; D.Goleman, J.Mayer & P.Salovey, R.Bar-On
- EQ competencies; psychopogical, social and practical
- EQ; skill or trait?
- Developement of EQ
- EQ in action
- Mechanisms of EQ influence on personal and professional success
- Emotions’ developement in humans; R.Plutchik’s model (1989)
- EQ psychological particulars: self-awareness, self-esteem & self-control
- EQ social particulars: empathy, assertiveness, suation, leadership, cooperation
- EQ praxeological particulars; motivation, adaptation, conscientiousness
- “Group intelligence” – animals and humans; Reynolds boid hypothesis
- Flocks, herds and schools; distributed behavioral model; emotions or automated behavior?
- EQ testing and training
- EQ application in social life
