Trait Emotional Intelligence Sample Clauses

Trait Emotional Intelligence. ‌ Research concerned with the relationship between trait emotional intelligence (EI) and academic success has been an emerging topic in educational settings in the last decade. Specifically, emotional intelligence has not only been considered as a crucial skill in workplace but it has also been recognized as a critical element in the academic life of both students and teachers (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2016; Xxxxxx et al., 2018). Although a vast body of studies promotes trait emotional intelligence as a reasonable factor contributing to students’ success, little is known about teachers’ associated success, particularly in Central Asian countries. In general, emotional intelligence (EI) is the skill associated with showing, recognizing, controlling, and perceiving one’s own emotions and the influence of the emotions of others (Xxxxxx et al., 2018). Petrides and colleagues (2001) further established the concept of trait EI by separating it from general XX. For this reconceptualization, they categorize EI into two predominant constructs: trait EI and ability EI. Ability EI refers to the use and expression of emotions and regulation and integration of emotional information (Xxxxx et al., 2008). In comparison, trait EI (or emotional self-efficacy) refers to our emotional impressions of our inner world (Petrides et al., 2007). Numerous recent studies have emphasized the influential role of trait EI in teachers’ work practices. Multiple studies have suggested that teachers with higher trait EI work more effectively since they are more content with their occupations which can result in improved practice. For instance, Xxxxxxxx et al. (2019) and Platdisou (2010) note the importance of higher trait EI when coping with higher job demands and workplace stress as long as they consider job satisfaction as a moderator of teachers’ work practices. For that reason, understanding the role that emotional intelligence has on teacher success and performance in such contexts may be an important finding for the development of initial and ongoing teacher training and related policy.
