Encyclopedia of applied psychology 3 models of EI
MAYER-SALOVEY MODEL BAR-ON MODEL GOLEMAN MODEL
MAYER SALOVEY MODEL
1st formal model, in 1990 Peter salovey and John mayer Widely known as “the ability-based model” "The ability to perceive, understand, manage and use emotions to facitate thinking”
Views emotions and thoughts working with each other in adaptive ways
Views emotions as useful sources of information
Defines intelligence as a set of mental abilities to do with emotions & their processing of emotional information
Mayer and salovey defined EI as the ability to perceive emotions, to access & generate emotions so as to assist thought, to understand emotions & emotional knowledge & to reflectively regulate emotion so as to promote emotional & intellectual growth.
Four branches
Perception and appraisal of emotions Assimilating emotion in thought Understanding and analysing emotions Managing emotions
Perceiving emotions :
Identifying emotions Involves perception, appraisal & expression of emotions The ability to detect and decipher emotions in faces, pictures, voices, and cultural artifacts- including the ability to identify one’s own emotions.
2. Assimilating emotion in thought:
• Using emotions — involve using
emotions to facilitate & prioritize thinking.
• Assimilates basic emotional experiences into mental life.
• It is the capacity of the emotions to enter into & guide the cognitive system & promote thinking.
3. Understanding & analysing emotions: Ability to understand complex emotions & emotional chains.Emotions convey information.Each emotion conveys its own pattern of possible messages, and actions associated with those messages.Understanding emotional messages and the actions associated with them is one important aspect of this area of skill
4. Managing emotions
The ability to regulate emotions in both ourselves and in others.Therefore, the emotionally intelligent person can harness emotions, even negative ones, and manage them to achieve intended goals.
