< BACK What We Know about Emotional Intelligence How It Affects Learning, Work, Relationships, and Our Mental Health Moshe Zeidner, Gerald Matthews and Richard D. Roberts Endorsements"The idea of emotional intelligence has been both useful and popular. Amid all the attention it has received, Moshe Zeidner, Gerald Matthews, and Richard Roberts have been essential in helping us to distinguish what is known scientifically about it from what is hoped for and what is hyped."—Keith Oatley, University of Toronto, author of Emotions: A Brief History "The work of Moshe Zeidner, Gerald Matthews, and Richard D. Roberts has provided a welcome and much needed corrective to the runaway (and sometimes misleading) popularizations of emotional intelligence. Their latest book, What We Know about Emotional Intelligence focuses on the real science behind emotional intelligence, and it indicates the concept's potential contributions to human psychology and life. This readable, well-informed, and intelligent new work offers a lively, contemporary commentary on the field, from which there is much of value to be learned." —John D. Mayer, University of New Hampshire "Together with their previous two books, Zeidner, Matthews, and Roberts have now given us a remarkable emotional intelligence trilogy. This very readable book is a comprehensive and critical analysis integrating EI research and theory to inform application and practice." —Donald H. Saklofske, Division of Applied Psychology, and Associate Dean (Research), Faculty of Education, University of Calgary "Despite all its detractors, it seems emotional intelligence is here to stay. Zeidner, Roberts, and Matthews have done a fantastic job of pulling together all facets of EI—the good and the bad—and presenting them in a single readable volume." —Neal Ashkanasy, University of Queensland Business School, Australia, and co-author of Managing Emotions in the Workplace "What began in the late 1960s and early 1970s as basic developmental research on emotion knowledge or the recognition and understanding of the causes, experiences, expressions, regulation, and functions of discrete emotions is minimally related to the run-away commercial aspects of what is now popularly known as emotional intelligence (EI). EI is widely marketed as the road to success and happiness. As it happens, happiness may have little to do with success but depend a lot on another discrete emotion. To find out what we really know about EI from scientific research, I heartily recommend this book by Zeidner, Matthews, and Roberts." —Carroll Izard, Trustees Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Delaware |
