Emotional Intelligence and Regulation
Captions available
The idea
Emotional intelligence, described by Salovey and Mayer, is monitoring and managing one's own emotions and responding to others'; it is linked to attention, engagement and relationships.
In practice
A child using self-talk and deep breaths before a test.
Where people slip
Metacognition supports regulation, but regulation remains effortful under stress; naming emotions, emotional awareness, underpins it across the lifespan.
