Changes in emotional intelligence of university students participating in psychological workshops and their predictors

The aim of this study was to determine changes in the emotional intelligence of university students who participated in psychological workshops and their predictors. The examinations were organized within a quasi-experimental design that evaluated pretest-posttest values of emotional intelligence. The intervention, which adopted the form of psychological workshops, was aimed to improve the ability to control emotional states, modify cognitive patterns and expand the array of communicational behaviours. The study examined 30 university students of a physical education course aged 19 to 24 years. The study used the Popular Questionnaire of Emotional Intelligence, the Social Competence Questionnaire, the General Health Questionnaire and the Courtauld Emotional Scale. Significant increases in emotional intelligence were observed in students participating in the psychological workshops, although varied depending on its dimensions. The highest differentiation between the measurements was found for understanding of emotions, whereas the lowest - for empathy. Greater increases in emotional intelligence can be expected in young students, who are more willing to suppress depression and reveal lower social competencies and greater intensification of depression symptoms. Psychological workshops can be an effective method to improve emotional intelligence of university students who prepare to the profession of a physical education teacher or a coach.

Gender Comparison of Emotional Intelligence of University Students

<p> <em>Emotional intelligence is a contributing construct to learning and other personal and career developments. It is a perplex notion involving many conceptions which resulted in various tools of emotional intelligence. University education is a terminal stage when young people are ready to enter the job arena and are expected to be emotionally sound. Numerous studies have been carried out on the differentiation of emotional intelligence of the learners, particularly at graduate and post-graduate levels. This study is an attempt to investigate emotional intelligence of the university students. Since there are differences in the findings of various studies in terms of gender; therefore, this study also considers to explore the discrepancy of the emotional cognizance of the male and female learners at university level. The target participants of this investigation were the students of all five faculties of a university in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, a province in Pakistan. The Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) developed by Wong and Law (2002) was used for data collection. The outcomes of the investigation showed that female learners were ahead of male in emotional intelligence. Further, the learners of business and economics had superior level of emotional intelligence, while students of Arts and Humanities had inferior level of emotional intelligence. The study put forward some valuable suggestions, particularly through curricula enhancement and for further research activities.</em></p>

ERPs Reveal Relationships Between Neural Orthographic Priming Effects and Reading Skill

Abstract. Masked priming has long been used to demonstrate the impact of brief presentations of orthographically related stimuli on visual word recognition. The aim of the present study was to examine neural correlates of orthographic priming produced by pronounceable and unpronounceable anagram primes. Crucially, we examined relationships between these priming effects and individual differences on a battery of measures assessing orthographic processing ability, current reading ability, and verbal intelligence in university students. Our study demonstrated group-level priming effects on the N200 and N400, with both components being primarily modulated by unpronounceable, orthographically illegal primes. Relationships between the extent of priming as indexed by N200 amplitude and speed of orthographic processing emerged, as reaction time (RT) on an orthographic choice task was associated with priming effects. Priming effects on N400 amplitude were related to phonological decoding efficiency. Those individuals with less efficient orthographic or phonological processing were more sensitive to the orthographic relationship between primes and targets. These findings demonstrate that university students vary in their sensitivity to orthographic priming and the degree to which orthographic information is used during word recognition.

Sex Differences in Intelligence of University Students in South Korea

Data are reported for the IQs of men and women university students in South Korea showing that men obtained a higher IQ than women by 3 IQ points on the WAIS-R and by 1.8 IQ points on the Advanced Progressive Matrices. Men showed greater variability than women on both tests. The South Korea students obtained a British-scaled IQ of 112.5, approximately 6 IQ points higher than that of British students.

Individual differences in orthographic priming relate to phonological decoding skill in adults.

We examined relationships between individual differences in orthographic priming and a battery of measures assessing orthographic processing ability, reading history, current reading ability, and verbal intelligence in university students. Pronounceable and unpronounceable nonword primes preceded word and nonword targets. Individual differences in nonword reading skill and other measures of reading and spelling ability were associated with the degree of orthographic priming. Individuals with less phonological decoding skill benefited more from anagram primes for word targets preceded by unpronounceable primes and nonword targets preceded by pronounceable primes. Analyses of extreme groups revealed that the group with the lowest phonemic decoding efficiency scores showed a general benefit of orthographic relatedness, while the group with the highest phonemic decoding efficiency scores showed a benefit only under certain conditions. Thus, individuals with worse nonword reading skills may have less precise orthographic representations and therefore benefit more from overlapping coarse-grained orthographic information, regardless of the pronounceability of the prime or the lexical status of the target. These findings demonstrate that university students vary in their orthographic processing skill and the degree to which orthographic information is used during word recognition.

Measuring Emotional Intelligence of University Students

Emotional intelligence (EI) is being recognised to be a vital element in many educational institutions today. Tuning into one's feelings and understanding others help to build and strengthen relationships in classrooms. There are some Emotional Intelligence skills most often related to academic success such as assertion, drive, strength, commitment ethic, time management, and stress management. This paper looks at emotional intelligence of students in one of Bahrain's reputable national university. A comparison is made between students in Barhain and participants in China to look at cultural differences and the role of national culture in the levels of emotional intelligence among individuals. The results revealed no direct relationship between scores, grade point average, age and emotional intelligence competencies. Overall the scores were in moderation, reflecting moderate levels of emotional intelligence. However, there some subtle culture issues and variations between the culture in China and Bahrain, where some of the items in the EI instruments were found to be culture bound.

Self-talk and emotional intelligence in university students.

Cette etude avait pour but d'examiner le monologue interieur, l'annee d'etude et le sexe en tant que variables explicatives du quotient emotionnel, aupres d'un echantillon de 126 etudiants universitaires de premier cycle (42 hommes, 84 femmes). La litterature scientifique considere que le monologue interieur a pour fonction d'ameliorer la conscience de soi et la maitrise de soi, qui sont tous deux consideres comme des facteurs importants dans le construit du quotient emotionnel. Les participants ont rempli des questionnaires auto-rapportes sur le monologue interieur et le quotient emotionnel. Les resultats indiquent que l'annee d'etude et le monologue interieur constituent des variables predictives significatives du quotient emotionnel et qu'elles sont associees positivement au quotient emotionnel. Contrairement aux attentes, le sexe des participants ne s'est pas revele comme predicteur significatif. Ces resultats sont discutes en termes de potentialites pour la recherche future sur l'etude du monologue interieur et du quotient emotionnel.

Comparison of College Majors in Elementary, Secondary, and Physical Education

SCHOOLS OF EDUCATION and their graduates are frequently misunderstood by segments of our college population, as well as by members of the lay public. The misinformed, and perhaps those who seek to inflate their own egos by discrediting their teachers, have, from time to time, resorted to the canard: Those who can, do; and those who can't, teach! Taken at its face value, recent research is not complimentary to the teaching profession. Investigations of the intelligence of university students indicate that schools of education are
