“…The construct of emotional intelligence has recently emerged as another potential causal factor in domestic violence [45]. Emotional intelligence is defined as "an array of non-cognitive capabilities, competencies, and skills that influence one's ability to succeed in coping with environmental demands and pressures" [46].…”

“…Emotional intelligence is defined as "an array of non-cognitive capabilities, competencies, and skills that influence one's ability to succeed in coping with environmental demands and pressures" [46]. In relation to intimate relationships, an individual who scores poorly on an emotional intelligence test will logically display maladaptive relationship behaviour [45]. Also, male offenders of domestic violence often lack the ability to emotionally and communicatively express themselves adequately and as a result may resort to aggression and intimidation [47][48][49][50].…”

Domestic violence (DV) in Australia is a pressing issue that continually needs to be addressed. Just as important to consider is how individuals who commit these offences are treated to attempt to prevent instances of reoffending. As such, treatment programs and how they are constructed from a theoretical perspective is an important consideration. The current study examined what academic theories are being used in the rationale and implementation of DV treatment programs in Australia. It also examined whether differing schools of thought (i.e., biological, psychological, social) are being used in conjunction with one another in these programs or separately. In total, 60 male domestic violence treatment programs were analysed using thematic analysis. Overall, results indicated that all of the treatment programs analysed had underlying tones that represented academic influence. Secondly, the results demonstrated that in most cases multiple schools of thought are included in the development of DV treatment programs. Future research could focus on evaluating what models of intervention are most effective and whether or not 'multi-pronged' approaches are more effective in reducing DV recidivism.

“…El estudio exploratorio realizado por Winters y cols., (2004), reveló que bajas puntuaciones en diferentes dimensiones relacionadas con la Inteligencia emocional (evaluada mediante el EQ-i), entre las que se encuentran, entre otras, la auto-conciencia emocional, la asertividad, el control de impulsos, o la solución de problemas, parecen asociarse con una alta tendencia al abuso y con comportamientos violentos hacia la pareja (Winters, Clift y Dutton, 2004). Por su parte, Amitay y Mongrain (2007) examinan los correlatos interpersonales de la IE en una muestra de personas con una historia de depresión, y observaron cómo los participantes que presentaban niveles superiores de Inteligencia emocional (evaluada mediante el MSCEIT), percibían a sus parejas como menos hostiles, críticos y recusantes.…”

ResumenEn el presente estudio relacionamos dos conceptos, Inteligencia Emocional y Cultura del Honor; en ambos casos el aspecto emocional es muy relevante y creemos que pueden tener un papel en las relaciones de pareja.Planteamos que ambos conceptos se relacionarían en sentido inverso, de forma que un mayor nivel de Inteligencia Emocional llevaría a otorgar una menor importancia a la Cultura del Honor y viceversa. Para estudiarlo se utilizó una muestra de 203 parejas heterosexuales que completaron un cuestionario. Entre nuestros resultados comprobamos que la dimensión Atención a las emociones está relacionada con la cultura del honor. Entre nuestras conclusiones planteamos que ambos conceptos están relacionados en alguna medida y que la congruencia en la valoración de la Cultura del Honor entre los dos miembros de la pareja también se relacionará con un nivel de Inteligencia Emocional mayor que en parejas donde no se produce esta congruencia.Palabras clave: Cultura del Honor, Inteligencia emocional, congruencia en la pareja. AbstractIn this study we relate two concepts, Emotional Intelligence and Culture of Honour; in both cases the emotional aspect is very important and we believe they may have a role in couple relations. We propose that both concepts would relate in reverse, so that an individual with a high level of Emotional Intelligence would give less importance to the Culture of Honor and vice versa. A sample of 203 heterosexual couples completed a questionnaire. Our results show that the dimension Attention to emotions is associated with the culture of honor. Among our fi ndings we propose that the two concepts are related in some way and that congruency in the valuation of the Culture of Honor between the two partners will also deal with a level of Emotional Intelligence higher than in couples where there is not this congruence.

“…Also, this construct includes the ability to receive emotions, to coordinate different emotions and feelings to understand the information related to emotions, and to take emotions under control. The people's weaknesses in social emotional skills could be related to issues such as physical and physiological health (Sutton & Wheatley, 2003), aggression (Winters, Clift, & Dutton, 2004), alcohol consumption (Zins et al, 2000(Zins et al, , 2004, depression and anxiety (Zeman, Shipman, & Suveg, 2002;Silk, Steinberg, & Morris, 2003).…”

This study aims to use an experimental research design to enhance teaching efficacy by social-emotional skills training in teachers. The statistical sample comprised of 68 elementary teachers (grades 4 and 5) with at least 10 years teaching experience and a bachelor's degree who were randomly assigned into control (18 female, 16 male) and experimental (20 female, 14 male) groups. During ten weekly sessions of training the experimental groups learned a set of social-emotional skills (interpersonal-intrapersonal skills). Bar-On social emotional scales (adult version) and a researcher-made questionnaire for teaching efficacy were used to collect the required data. Independent t-tests, mix models of variance, multivariate analyses of variance, and regressions were used to compare the mean of social-emotional intelligence and its components and teaching efficacy differences between and within groups. The results showed that training had a significant effect on increasing social emotional skills and its components of the experimental group teachers. This research also showed a positive correlation between the enhancement of emotional skills and effective teaching. To be most effective, emotional skills training programs need to be applied in the classroom consistently across the curriculum, and teachers` involvement with these skills is needed to promote their social-emotional abilities.
