Creativity and tolerance for uncertainty predict the engagement of emotional intelligence in personal decision making

Abstract

The current study investigated the relationships among creativity, tolerance for uncertainty (TU), and emotional intelligence (EI) in a selected sample of undergraduate students (n=145). We found differential patterns of intercorrelations among these constructs in students majoring in psychology, music, and stage directing, and we also established group differences in these constructs in the three groups of students. Thus, the use of emotional information in personal decision making in different subsamples is assumed to be achieved through hierarchies of diverse processes. Overall, creativity, EI, and TU acted as predictors of the use of emotional information in decision making.

Asimismo, Pavlova y Kornilova (2013) mostraron que cuanto más desarrollada era la inteligencia emocional de la persona, mayor era su tolerancia a la incertidumbre. Por su parte, Barberis et al (2019) encontraron que la inteligencia emocional media entre la incertidumbre y la ansiedad y depresión.…”

Barberis et al (2019) found that emotional intelligence mediates between uncertainty and anxiety, and depression.…”

“…человек определился в выборе); осмысленность выбора при этом связана и с реализацией опоры на свои интеллектуальные возможности. Считается, что выбор человека всегда осознан, хотя от него могут оставаться скрытыми как смысловые, так и другие регуляторы направленности субъективных предпочтений [7].…”
