 THE ABILITY MODEL OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

• Salovey and Mayer’s (1990) model described EI as a “ form of social intelligence that involves
the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them
and use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions.
• Later EI was defined as "the ability to perceive emotion, integrate emotion to facilitate thoughts,
understand emotions, and regulate emotions to promote personal growth."

EMOTIONAL FACILITATION

decisions can have both
positive and negative effects.

 THE GOLEMAN MODEL OF EMOTIONAL
INTELLIGENCE/ THE COMPETENCY MODEL

• It’s a way of seeing intelligence beyond its cognitive aspects (like memory and
problem-solving). We are talking primarily about our capacity to effectively
address others and ourselves, to connect with our emotions, to manage them, to
self-motivate, to put the brakes on our impulses, and to overcome frustrations.
GOLEMAN’S FIVE DOMAIN COMPONENTS OF
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
• Emotional self-awareness — knowing what one is feeling at any given time and understanding
the impact those moods have on others
• Self-regulation — controlling or redirecting one’s emotions; anticipating consequences before
acting on impulse
• Motivation — utilizing emotional factors to achieve goals, enjoy the learning process and
persevere in the face of obstacles
• Empathy — sensing the emotions of others
• Social skills — managing relationships, inspiring others and inducing desired responses from
them
 BAR-ON’S MODEL OF EMOTIONAL
INTELLIGENCE
• This model was developed by Reuven Bar-On to measure Emotional-social intelligence. It is
considered to be one of the three major models of this construct according to the Encyclopedia of
Applied Psychology (2004).
• According to this model, emotional-social intelligence is a cross-section of interrelated
emotional and social competencies, skills, and facilitators.
These attributes determine how effectively we as individuals:
• Understand and express ourselves
• Understand others and relate with them
• Cope with daily demands.
