Q1. Compare and Contrast Different Models of Emotional Intelligence?


Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a complex concept with various models proposed
by different researchers. Here are some of the prominent models and their key
differences:
1. Ability Model (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso):
 Focus: EI as a set of mental abilities.
 Core Abilities:
o Perceiving emotions: Recognizing emotions in oneself and others.
o Using emotions to facilitate thought: Employing emotions to
enhance cognitive processes.
o Understanding emotions: Comprehending complex emotions and
their relationships.
o Managing emotions: Regulating one's own emotions and those of
others.
2. Mixed Model (Goleman):
 Focus: EI as a combination of abilities and personality traits.
 Core Competencies:
o Self-awareness: Understanding one's own emotions and
strengths/weaknesses.
o Self-regulation: Managing one's emotions and impulses.
o Motivation: Driving oneself and persisting in the face of
challenges.
o Empathy: Understanding and responding to the emotions of
others.
o Social skills: Building and maintaining relationships,
communicating effectively, and resolving conflicts.
3. Trait Model (Petrides):
 Focus: EI as a personality trait.
 Core Traits:
o Self-perceived emotional abilities: Beliefs about one's own
emotional abilities.
o Dispositional traits: General tendencies to experience certain
emotions.

Q2. Evaluate Existing Measures of Emotional Intelligence


Several measures have been developed to assess EI, each with its own
strengths and weaknesses:
1. Ability-Based Measures:
 Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT):
o Advantages: Directly assesses the core abilities of EI.
o Disadvantages: Time-consuming and requires specialized training
to administer.
2. Mixed Model Measures:
 Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i):
o Advantages: Comprehensive assessment of a wide range of EI
competencies.
o Disadvantages: Self-report format can be susceptible to biases.
 Goleman's Emotional Intelligence Assessment:
o Advantages: Focuses on practical, real-world applications of EI.
o Disadvantages: Less rigorous psychometrically compared to
ability-based measures.
3. Trait-Based Measures:
 Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQ):
o Advantages: Easy to administer and score.
o Disadvantages: Relies on self-report, which can be influenced by
social desirability bias.
General Advantages of EI Measures:
 Predictive Validity: EI measures can predict various outcomes, such as
job performance, leadership effectiveness, and relationship quality.
 Practical Applications: EI assessments can be used for individual
development, team building, and organizational leadership.
General Disadvantages of EI Measures:
 Lack of Consensus: Different models and measures of EI can lead to
inconsistent results.
 Methodological Challenges: Self-report measures can be biased, and
performance-based measures can be time-consuming and expensive.
 Cultural Differences: EI may manifest differently across cultures, and
measures need to be culturally adapted.
To obtain a comprehensive assessment of EI, it is often recommended to use a
combination of measures, including both self-report and performance-based
assessments.
