Outcomes of Emotional Intelligence Training for Surgeons in a Real-World Setting: a Mixed Methods Study

The objective was to assess, improve and re-assess Emotional Intelligence (EI) in a group of junior and senior surgeons in a real-world setting. This was a mixed methods study. An EI education program was delivered through a series of webinars. The program drew from the central concepts of emotional intelligence: Motivation, empathy, social skills, self-knowledge, and self-control. There was also a component of professional development. EI assessment was performed pre- and post-intervention using the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) and a series of targeted questions. Qualitative assessment was performed by means of structured interviews examining uptake in techniques, understanding of EI, and its effect on personal and professional life. The Australia and New Zealand Training Board in Colorectal Surgery administers a 2-year bi-national training program in teaching hospitals in Australia and New Zealand and runs a series of educational webinars throughout the training program. The "EI series" was part of this educational program. Webinars were attended by 35 junior surgeons and 8 senior surgeons RESULTS: Self-perceived knowledge and use of EI increased from a mean of 3.6 to 6.5 (p<0.0001). There was a significant difference between experiential (94) and strategic (101) scores (p=0.005). There was a nonsignificant improvement (98.04-100.6, p=0.16), in the pre-post MSCEIT among the junior surgeons and no change for senior surgeons. Seventy-eight percent (25/32) of surgeons interviewed reported using any new EI strategies. Seventy-five percent actively stopped and considered what other people in a clinical scenario may be thinking; 78% commenced metacognition; 81% practiced the process of self-regulation; 66% had begun to recognise and use emotions as data; and, 47% had actively practiced the process of self-distancing CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated the feasibility and utility of delivering EI training in an online format to a group of time-poor surgeons in a real-world setting.

Factor Structure of the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory in Youth on the Autism Spectrum

Examination of emotional intelligence (EI) of autistic individuals has gained popularity. These efforts have included the BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory, Youth Version (BarOn EQ-i YV); however, this measure was not standardized with this population and so its utility and the accuracy of its factor structure for this population is questionable. This study examined how well the factor structure as represented by a sample of autistic children and youth aligns with that described in the measure’s technical manual to clarify considerations for use. Results indicate poor metrics of model fit. Some factors were significantly correlated, though this was attenuated somewhat upon correction for multiple analyses. Two items from the interpersonal factor were negatively loaded, suggesting they should be subtracted from other items in that factor (in contrast to the standardized model). Implications for EI construct validity, understanding of EI in autism, and use of EI measures for this population are discussed.

More than just emotional intelligence online: introducing "digital emotional intelligence".

The ubiquitous nature of emotional intelligence, as a central theme in every aspect of our lives-be it at work, school, or home-coupled with the growing prevalence of digital interactions, makes it fundamental to develop our understanding of emotional intelligence in a digital world. However, the digital world represents more than just a contextual factor to consider, as interactions in digital environments require digital competence. The objective of this paper is to conceptualize "digital emotional intelligence" as the integration of both emotional intelligence and digital competence. The model we propose posits that trait emotional intelligence predicts attitudes toward digital competence, while digital ability emotional intelligence is predicted by digital competence skills and digital competence knowledge. Using a self-reported questionnaire on 503 respondents, a structural equation model highlights a positive relationship between trait emotional intelligence and attitudes toward digital competence.

Odysseus, Emotional Intelligence, and the Plot of the Odyssey

AbstractIt is well recognized amongst psychologists that individuals exhibit not one but multiple intelligences (Gardner 1993). Perhaps the most conspicuous of these, especially in interpersonal contexts, is emotional intelligence: that ability to understand and predict one’s own emotions, and those of others, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and behaviour (Mayer, Salovey and Caruso 2008). Although the Odyssean Odysseus is known for his ability to think his way out of difficult situations, his problem-solving ability is not his only distinguishing cognitive attribute. This paper begins with a brief discussion of emotional intelligence and its scope. I then observe how the poet, through his narrative, reveals this ability in Odysseus: his emotional intelligence serves the hero well in some social situations but (as happens to us all) fails him in others. I shall argue, with reference to a number of examples, that the poet has an implicit understanding of emotional intelligence; that he uses his hero’s uneven performance with respect to this ability as a motivating factor in his development of the plot; and that this attribute of Odysseus, along with his craftiness, is what makes this character—and ultimately this story—so engaging.

Learning lessons from the analysis of patient complaints relating to staff attitudes, behaviour and communication, using the concept of emotional labour.

This article explores the content of letters of complaint by patients and carers about the behaviour, attitudes and communication of healthcare staff. The most common focus of patient complaints in the UK and other high-income countries is staff attitudes, behaviour and communication. There is a move to learn lessons from patient complaints, which can be used to improve patient care and experience. Fifty letters of complaint made by patients and carers relating to the behaviour, attitudes and communication of healthcare staff were analysed. Poor attitudes, behaviours and communication have significant negative impact on the emotional well-being of patients and carers. Many patients and carers have heightened sensitivities due to both health-related stresses and also other factors. The healthcare role is expected to include compassion and kindness. The concept of emotional labour is useful in explaining the skills and effort required of staff in this often invisible and undervalued aspect of health care. Given the increasing focus on patient experience, it is important that the importance of good staff attitudes, behaviours and communication is understood and that the emotional labour associated with this is recognised. An understanding of emotional intelligence can protect staff from burnout and other negative outcomes which those in a caring role can experience.

Emotional Intelligence in the Interior Design Context

This study seeks to initiate the emotional intelligence (EI) conversation within the context of interior design (ID) education and practice by expanding the body of knowledge in relation to ID students’ EI and to place these observations in context with the EI of other university students. This study involved two aspects of research, an original component spanning two years that studied the EI of ID students utilizing the 33–item self–report Assessing Emotions Scale (Schutte, Malouff, Hall, Haggerty, Cooper, Golden, &amp; Dornheim, 1998) and, secondly, a comparison of ID students’ test scores with ten other existing studies of college students. The findings demonstrated that ID students possess a statistically higher level of EI than their university student counterparts. The possibilities for future research involving EI and ID are numerous, with significant potential impact in the areas of design thinking, design process, project and personnel management, job satisfaction, perceived job control, job commitment, entrepreneurism, stress management and burnout, internship development, and possibly gender differences. EI training could be of particular interest to both educators and practitioners alike as they seek to train the next generation of leading designers. For educators, EI could prove particularly important as they seek to prepare students for the realities of entry–level design positions as well as set their sights on long–term leadership positions where they will be expected to manage multiple disciplines, people, and projects simultaneously. For practitioners, understanding of EI can provide insight regarding leadership and team dynamics in addition to becoming aware of the potential differences in EI between disciplines.

An Empirical Investigation of the Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence, Transactional and Transformational Leadership Styles in Banking Sector

Leadership theory and research have not adequately considered how leader's emotions influence their effectiveness. While there exists a significant amount of research on leadership, literature is comparatively thin on the relationship between leadership and emotional intelligence. A better understanding of emotional intelligence and its relationship to leadership style can address the existing gaps in literature and provide a more informed link between theory and practice. This study attempts to broaden the knowledge base of Human Resource Development through the investigation of emotional intelligence and leadership style. The total sample of 381 employees participated in the study. The findings of this study suggest that the ability perspective of emotional intelligence does not have any relationship with perceptions of leadership style. This finding is contrary to what one would expect from reviewing the literature and the associated citations. Mixed reliability results obtained within the correlations among the items, pointing to some potential construct validity problems served as a possible explanation for no significant correlations found between the undertaken dimensions.

Methods/Analysis: Both primary and secondary data was collected. Primary data was collected through questionnaire which consisted of 46 items. Questionnaire source are well-established tools. Questionnaire was shared through the online mode only. Respondents, who are employed professional, were picked by random convenience sampling . Sample consisted of 110 respondents. For analysis data of 99 respondents was used because respondents who showed multiple conflict resolution styles were not considered. Analysis tools - SPSS and Excel. Findings: Avoiding style of conflict resolution was observed to be widely adopted by respondents with high emotional intelligence score. Accommodating and avoiding styles were adopted by people with lesser amount of industry experience and people having more than 10 years of experience used competing as a conflict resolution style. The research shows that women have higher emotional intelligence and thus are able to use varied conflict resolution styles. On the other hand men seemed to adopt avoiding as their conflict resolution style. EI of women being higher than men is in consensus with other studies conducted in this area. Emotional intelligence score increases with age but it was observed that after 35 years of age the emotional intelligence score reduces. Few studies conducted in this area state that EI increases with age. Conclusion/Application: Better understanding of EI of teams and how they resolve conflicts can enable effective and refined recruitment/selection, team formations etc. and further lead to individual wellbeing at workplace and higher team performance.

Emotional Intelligence: A Critical Success Factor for Selling Funeral Policies

This study contributes to a deeper understanding of emotional intelligence as a critical success factor in the selling of funeral insurance policies. Insights are drawn from a quantitative study that adopted a convenience sampling approach. The study tested the extent to which emotional competencies are related to job performance of funeral policy sales agents. Thirty Eight (38) agents from an insurance firm in the Midlands province of Zimbabwe participated in this study. A Schutte emotional intelligence test was used to test their overall emotional intelligence as well as their four competencies of emotional intelligence. Agents also responded to questions that tested their ability to handle client rejection and supplied other relevant data, such as age and work experience. The data was analysed using SPSS, and the output revealed that there was a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and performance. The results also revealed that some of the competences on emotional intelligence were insignificantly related to sales agents’ performance while others, such as appraisal of emotion and social skills, were significant. The results confirm that emotional intelligence is an important critical success factor in the insurance industry and management should utilise it in planning. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n20p381

Seeing Things As We Are. Emotional Intelligence and Clinical Legal Education

&lt;p&gt;This paper considers the relevance of emotional intelligence for the cognitively dominated law school. I describe the crisis in the American legal profession and suggest how those problems are likely to be replicated in Australia. I examine what little we know about the impact of law schools on students and find the extant research is not encouraging. The paper considers how clinical legal education provides the best opportunities to engage with students on levels that could make a difference to their inner wellbeing in practice. I then look briefly at our developing understanding of emotional intelligence and its relevance in clinical legal education. The last part considers specific opportunities already in many clinical programs for encouraging students to develop their emotional capacities.&lt;/p&gt;

A UK-wide analysis of trait emotional intelligence within the radiography profession

The aim of this study was to profile the Trait emotional intelligence (EI) of the radiography profession, explore any differences between subgroups, compare the profession with a normative group and investigate the relationship between EI and the leaders of the profession. An online UK-wide survey was conducted using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, a self-report measure. Three main analyses were undertaken to investigate any differences between the sample and population, the radiographer subgroups and the sample and a normative group. The sample had similar characteristics to the population. There were differences between types of radiographer, with nuclear medicine radiographers scoring consistently lower than other groups. There were differences between the leaders and other members of the profession particularly in the Sociability factor. Radiographers scored higher than the TEIQue normative group for Global EI and three of the four factors. The study has benchmarked the Trait EI of one healthcare profession and identified areas for future research to develop our understanding of emotional intelligence.
