Emotional intelligence is a persons ability to understand their own emotions and those of others, and to act appropriately using these emotions. Research suggests that a persons emotional intelligence (EQ) might be a greater predictor of success than his or her intellectual intelligence (IQ), despite an assumption that people with high IQs will naturally accomplish more in life. The Marshmallow Test is mentioned in Emotional Intelligence, by Goleman. How a child performs on this test at the age of 4 is a better predictor of his or her future success in life than his or her IQ. What researchers do is leave the child alone in a room with a marshmallow, telling them they can either eat the marshmallow immediately, or, if they can wait till the researchers return, they can have 5 marshmallows. What this is testing is “impulse control” and the ability to “delay gratification”. Its an example of “frustration tolerance”. Much of what we want later on in life requires resisting the immediate impulse, and also being able to “delay gratification”, i.e., when in college, you might have preferred to be off surfing in Hawaii, but, since you valued what a college education would do for you, you stuck with it. And it meant giving up some things you might have preferred doing at the time. Some of the children cant resist, and take the marshmallow immediately. Others stick it out, and what do they do? They count their fingers and toes. get up and look out the window. find a book in the room and read it. look up at the ceilingthey are very clever! Somewhere they developed this skill. could it have been their parents? My mom used to tell me “When youre angry, stop and count to ten”. She was teaching me to stop and think before I spoke or took action. This is a tried-and-true way to emotional intelligencestopping to think before you act or react. 共5题(1) Which of the following is not included in EQ? 本题2分(A)the ability to understand ones own emotions (B)the ability to understand other peoples emotions (C)the ability to act properly using those emotions (D)the ability to wait till the researchers return 你选择的答案：前次作业时已经做对正确正确答案：A(2) The Marshmallow Test is to _. 本题2分(A)test ones IQ (B)test ones EQ (C)test ones patience (D)test ones temper 你选择的答案：前次作业时已经做对正确正确答案：D(3) You stuck with a college education although you preferred to be off surfing in Hawaii.

IQ is not the determining factor for success,” said Janell Kilgore, a staff counselor in the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program. IQ contributes about 20 percent to the factors that determine life success, which leaves 80 percent to other forces, including EQ, she noted. Goleman writes that “the vast majority of ones ultimate status in society is determined by non-IQ factors, ranging from social class to luck”. Emotional intelligence is one of those factors that can be improved or enhanced. According to Kilgore, understanding and practicing five key concepts can improve your emotional intelligence. Knowing ones own emotions Recognize and name emotions you feel; understand why you feel that way; and distinguish between feelings and actions. “As a parent, you can begin now with your children, teaching them about their emotions. But first you have to know your own. You have to be able to tell yourself what youre feeling,” Kilgore said. Recognizing emotions in others The ability to take another persons perspective, Kilgore said, is a skill that effective managers and supervisors possess. Emotionally intelligent individuals also are sensitive to other peoples feelings and listen well. Kilgore led workshop participants through an exercise designed to illustrate these ideas. She showed two emotionally charged clips from the movies Parenthood and E.T., asking individuals to write down emotions they saw exhibited by the characters body language. Participants also wrote down their own feelings during each scene. The groups list demonstrated the many emotions seen through the films characters, as well as the different ways people felt about the same scenes. Managing emotions Accept your feelings, but find a balance between over sensitivity or over expression and emotional suppression. Kilgore said her teenage daughters, when angry, have sometimes stomped up the stairs in their home. While some people may find this behavior unacceptable, Kilgore said she finds it healthy for them to express their emotions rather than suppressing them. Handling relationships Being perceptive, applying conflict management skills instead of ignoring conflict, and being considerate and cooperative are important in handling relationships with others. Kilgore also stresses that communication skills are essential to healthy relationships. 共5题(1) According to researchers, which of the following is true? 本题2分(A)IQ determines life success.

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thin
