The aim of the work was to compare the psychological characteristics obtained using the Hands Test in representatives of various ethnic groups living in the South of Russia. We used the Wagner Hand Test. The study was carried out on respondents aged 15-16 and 17-30 years old, living in the Rostov region, the republics of Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Crimea, Adygea. The total number of respondents was 689, of which 304 were men and 385 were women. As a result, data were obtained on sex differences in psychological characteristics identified using the hand test. Women were found to be more Affective than men. The age-related characteristics of the hand test indicators were also revealed in the groups of 15-16 years old and 17-30 years old. Comparison of age subgroups 15-16 and 17-30 years old showed that with age there is an increase in the severity of psychological traits of Direction, Communication, Active, the degree of personal Maladjustive and the sum of indicators of Aggressive and Direction, as well as the sum of indicators of Affection, Communication and Dependence. The manifestations of psychological characteristics are also determined by ethnicity, in particular, in terms of such indicators as Direction, the sum of indicators of Aggressive and Direction, the indicator of Activity, the total number of answers on the test and the total indicator of Aggressive.

“…In fact, there now seems to be a wide consensus that the ability and trait models to EI are complementary rather than a sign of contradiction or confusion and that both should be included in EI research [ 30 , 31 ]. Recently, research also has focused on the configural model [ 32 ], wherein emotional states are attributed to the visual and auditory non-verbal cues, and the neurological model [ 33 ], which seeks to characterize the neural mechanisms of EI.…”

Given the importance of emotions in human life and the necessity of managing one’s emotions, this research project conducted an 18 week course on emotional management for a group of undergraduate students, investigated the differences in emotional intelligence (EI) levels before and after the course, and assessed EI’s effect on selected subjective wellness and psychological distress variables. The study indicated many significant results. Most importantly, the comparison of the pre-course and post-course EI scores indicated that the EI skills and competencies could be learned and enhanced through formal education. Additionally, there were also significant regression coefficients of pre-course and post-course EI scores on both subjective wellness and psychological distress variables. The significant results endorse that EI knowledge, skills, and competencies could indeed be enhanced through formal education. In particular, the understanding of EI could help the educationists and helping professionals in assessing people’s level of EI, designing relevant courses, and raising the impact of EI on both overall wellness and psychological distress.

“…Genetic studies of the association of various genes with personality traits, including those describing the emotional-volitional sphere, are mainly focused on the study of genes of neurotransmitter systems and enzymes of their metabolism [4]. The enzyme monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) promotes the breakdown of dopamine and serotonin in the intersynaptic space, and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is involved in the transmission of catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, adrenaline).…”

The article is devoted to the study of the association of genotypes of genes of monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) with emotional intelligence and personality traits of young people, such as extraversion-introversion, empathy, and alexithymia. The work was attended by students-psychologists, in the amount of 100 people. The following methods were used: Test of emotional intelligence (D.V. Lyusin); Emotional Empathy Questionnaire (A. Mehrabian, N. Epstein); «Big five» test; Toronto Alexithymia Scale. For statistical processing of the results obtained, we used multivariate analysis of variance ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc analysis for non-equilibrium sample sizes. As a result, it was found that the genes of the monoaminergic system COMT and MAOA are associated with the general level of emotional intelligence. Women, in general, showed a lower level of emotional intelligence. The Met/Met genotype of the COMT gene is associated with a higher level of emotional intelligence and high extraversion. The Val/Met genotype of the COMT gene in women is associated with low emotional intelligence and low empathy. The Val/Val genotype of the COMT gene in men is associated with extraversion. In the work, no associations were found between the genotypes of the MAOA, COMT genes, and the level of alexithymia.
