Emotional intelligence in 2010s: SEL in schools

The log for Emotional intelligence in 2010s is the line “SEL in schools.” The figure written with it is 1995. Do not convert that figure into a group intelligence score or an inborn grade. The line says who repeated which task. Bar-On’s EQ-i is a mixed/trait-leaning inventory. MSCEIT tries to be an ability test. They do not measure one thing.

Salovey and Mayer’s ability model — Goleman’s boom, mixed measures, not a second IQ caste. Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive, use, understand and regulate emotions — in Salovey and Mayer’s 1990 framing — later popularised and broadened by Daniel Goleman (1995). The ability model has tests (MSCEIT). Mixed and trait models (Bar-On; trait-EQ questionnaires) wander toward personality. Lisa Feldman Barrett’s constructed-emotion work and Damasio’s somatic markers complicate any simple “EQ organ”.

This page treats EI as a useful, contested skill cluster with high trainability claims and mid evidence. It is not a ranking of warm peoples and not a diagnosis. Emotional intelligence mapped for mechanisms, locale notes and limits. Emotional intelligence sits in the people atlas — mechanisms, locale notes and limits, not slogans.

Adoption and meaning follow schools, clubs and labs as much as peak specs. selection systems without group rankings. conservatories, gyms and classrooms. No population score rankings; no race hierarchies. Editorial scores help browsing; they are not certificates. Related atlas: Emotional intelligence
