Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the empirical and practical nature of emotional intelligence, cognitive style, and personality in relationship to college students' academic achievement and life satisfaction. Significant differences across gender, race, grade level, academic major, and students' emotional intelligence, cognitive style, and personality variants were also examined. A sample of 243 undergraduate students volunteered to complete multiple self-report instruments for the data collection process. Data was then aggregated and analyzed using multiple regression, analysis of variance, and simple correlations. The results indicated that personality is the most powerful predictor of student's academic achievement and life satisfaction. However, emotional intelligence also had an important role in scholastic success. The study concludes with a discussion of results, limitations, and implications for research and practitioners.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Psychology - Cognition, grade: good or B+, Bahir Dar University (Faculty of education and behavioral science), course: Educational psychology, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Emotional intelligence, locus of control, self-esteem, test anxiety and academic achievement among Bahir Dar university students. A total of 89 3rd year Educational and Behavioral science students were selected using convenience sampling method. To collect data four questionnaires (EI, LC, SE and TA) and document analysis for AA were employed. One sample t-test, Pearson correlation, independent t-test and multiple regressions were used to analyze the data. The result of one sample t-test shows that students have better level of EI. The level of students LC is slightly internal as a group. Students had significantly high level of self-esteem and students have low test anxiety level. The study revealed that positive and significant relationship between EI and AA, EI and SE, EI and ILC, in contrast EI and ELC, EI and TA shows negative relationship. All EI dimensions show a positive significant relationship with AA. The independent sample t-test revealed that there was significance difference between male and female students in EI. Meaning males have higher score than females. There was statistically significant mean difference between male and female students. Female students have high level test anxiety than male students. Females are more external in locus of control than males. There is no mean difference between male students in AA and SE. regression analysis shows that LC, SE and TA predict academic achievement. On the other hand, the effects of emotional intelligence on academic achievement were found not statistically significant. Furthermore, the effect of LC and TA on AA found to be negative.

Download or read book Retrospect and Prospect in the Psychological Study of Families written by James P. McHale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2001-10-01 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assembles 11 of the leading thinkers and researchers in the field of family psychology to create a compendium summarizing both what psychology researchers have learned about the family and where the field should be going next. It evolved after the volume's contributors met with other distinguished family scholars to discuss family influences on child development and to ponder how this knowledge could be used to benefit families and children. This volume includes approaches to the family that feature multiple levels and topics of focal interest to benefit anyone interested in the family. Central topics include mothering, fathering, marriages, family group processes, sibling relations, and families as systems. In addition, three senior authors offer road maps to detect, and suggest (a) challenges in research on parenting, (b) marital and family dynamics, and (c) family systems in the years ahead. In keeping with the theme of how research affects the lives of families outside the university lab settings, this volume includes a chapter on the interface between family research and law. This book closes with a "big picture" analysis and critique of what is known and not known. Psychologists, anthropologists, sociologists, and public policymakers interested in the family should especially find this volume of interest.

This book was released on 2022-08-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview of IQ / EQ There had been lot of research work done in the last few decades, on identifying the factors contributing to academic performance among students in learning institutions. They have almost arrived at a consensus on a variety factors like the students' IQ, socio economic status, motivation, peer-relationship, teacher-student relationship, parental involvement and personality. They have averred that the Intelligent Quotient is predominantly intertwined with every other factor. However, many recent and emerging studies reveal that IQ alone cannot be a reliable predictor of students' academic achievement. The few limitations of IQ are listed below: 1) IQ is the sum total of knowledge, skills and information learnt by the individual in a given environments, 2) One cannot scientifically judge or foretell the outcome in later life of the individual (say in job performance) based on the present IQ, 3) IQ is less effective when population, situations or tasks change, (Goleman, 1983) and 4) IQ tests measure only a restricted aspect of human intellectual ability (Robert Sternberg and Howard Gardner, (1983). Howard Gardner, (1983) coined the term ‗Multiple Intelligence' in 1983, when he postulated that interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence are as important as the type of intelligence typically measured by IQ and related tests. Emotional Intelligence (EI) is defined as the ability to identify, assess, and control one's own emotions, the emotions of others, and that of groups. One of the most popular and most cited sources is Daniel Goleman's infamous book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ. In his book Goleman (1995) claims that only 20% of a person's success can be attributed to IQ. Salovey and Mayer (1990) have defined Emotional intelligence as the ―process of one's assessment of his own and others' emotions accurately, to express feelings appropriately and process of emotional information including the regulation of emotion to make the life better. Goleman (1995) has defined the emotional intelligence as recognizing and managing feelings, self-action, the ability of understanding the others' feelings and to,

This book was released on 2013 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of academic resilience research is to identify factors and processes which lead to academic success among groups of students generally found to be at-risk, including those of African American and Latina/o descent. The present study investigated a possible risk factor (perceptions of discrimination), a possible protective factor (emotional intelligence), and the role of gender in predicting academic achievement (as measured by high school GPA) in a sample (N = 79) of African American and Latina/o high school students attending one high school in Minnesota. Through the use of multiple regression, neither emotional intelligence nor perceptions of discrimination was found to be a statistically significant predictor of GPA among the entire sample, although when each gender was considered separately, a significant model for predicting GPA among males did emerge. In addition to these findings and a subsequent discussion, the literature related to academic resilience and the independent variables is presented within, along with implications for educators and recommendations for future research.

Download or read book Assessing Well Being written by Ed Diener and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-04 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sandvik, Diener, and Seidlitz (1993) paper is another that has received widespread attention because it documented the fact that self-report well-being scales correlate with a number of other methods of measuring the same concepts, such as with reports by knowledgeable “informants” (family and friends), expe- ence sampling measurement, and the memory for good versus bad life events. A single factor was found to underlie measures using different methods, and a n- ber of different well-being self-report measures were found to correlate with the non-self-report measures. Thus, although the self-report measures of well-being are imperfect, and can be in uenced by response artifacts, they have substantial validity as shown by their correlations with measurements based on alternative methods. Whereas the Pavot and Diener article reviewed the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Lucas, Diener, and Larsen (2003) paper reviews various approaches to assessing positive emotions. As we wrote in the chapter in this volume in which we present new measures, we do not consider any of the existing measures of positive affect to be entirely acceptable for measuring subjective well-being in the affect area, and that is why we have created and validated a new measure.

Download or read book The Science of Emotional Intelligence written by Gerald Matthews and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, emotional intelligence has been subjected to both scientific and public scrutiny. Numerous articles have been published on the topic in both academic journals and the popular press, testifying to the potential usefulness of emotional intelligence in psychology, business, education, the home, and the workplace. However, until now, there has been no systematic synthesis that grounds emotional intelligence in contemporary theory, while simultaneously sorting scientific approaches from popular fads and pseudoscience. Bringing together leading international experts from a variety of sub-disciplines, this volume aims to integrate recent research on emotional intelligence. The contributors address a set of focused questions concerning theory, measures, and applications: How does emotional intelligence relate to personality? What is the optimal approach to testing emotional intelligence? How can emotional intelligence be trained? In the final section of the book, the volume editors distill and synthesize the main points made by these experts and set forth an agenda for building a science of emotional intelligence in the future. Science of Emotional Intelligence will be an invaluable resource for researchers and professionals in psychology, education, the health sciences, and business.
