“…Compared with previous works (e.g., Bucich & MacCann, 2019;Cabello et al, 2013;Megías-Robles et al, 2019), the novel contribution of the present study is that we provide an explanation of how EI and ER difficulties use different routes (i.e., affective dimensions) and have their specific influence on the affective outcome: EI moderates changes in the affective dimension of valence through the intra-and interpersonal utilization of emotions, while individual differences in ER have a broader impact on both valence and arousal dimensions through emotional clarity, awareness, and impulse. We identified specific ways in which individual differences modify a successful ER process when using a CR strategy.…”

“…Using the experience sample method, Bucich and MacCann (2019) found that self-rated EI predicts more social sharing, direct situation modification, and reappraisal, while ability EI does not predict any of the five ER strategies.…”

“…The current study is the first to demonstrate the moderating role of EI and ER difficulties on changes in affective responses (i.e., valence and arousal) during a CR task. Besides the frequently used self-report measures (e.g., Cabello et al, 2013;Megías-Robles et al, 2019;Schutte et al, 2009) and some experimental studies (Bucich & MacCann, 2019;Zysberg & Raz, 2019), our research provides a unique experimental design using a CR task. Compared with the examination of Zysberg and Raz (2019), who asked participants to self-induce emotional arousal then relax, we created a more direct, guided, and predetermined emotional context in which reappraisal takes place.…”

Two research traditions explain the way we deal with emotional situations: emotional intelligence (EI) and emotion regulation (ER). EI refers to the individual differences in the knowledge, identification, and regulation of emotions. ER describes processes in which emotions are experienced, expressed, and altered. Our study examined the EI-ER link and their moderating role on affective responses. We used self-report questionnaires and a cognitive reappraisal (CR) task, in which subjective affective responses were registered. We found that higher levels of ER difficulties correlated with lower EI. Gender had an overall impact on affective changes, indicating a more unpleasant and more arousing affective state for women compared with men. Regarding the moderating role of EI and ER difficulties, the ability to utilize emotions (Utilization) decreased the valence into a more unpleasant direction, similar to the effect of the inability to identify and differentiate emotions (Clarity). A weak control over emotions (Impulse), however, increased the valence into a more pleasant direction. The lack of attention to emotional signals (Awareness) marginally decreased the initial intensity (i.e., lower level of arousal). We demonstrated that EI and ER have distinctive routes and a different influence on the affective outcome defined by valence and arousal ratings: (1) EI has an impact through the utilization of emotions mainly on the valence dimension; and (2) individual differences in ER have a moderating effect on both valence and arousal dimensions. This study provided evidence on how individual differences contribute to a successful ER process when using a CR strategy.

“…Bucich and MacCann () used experience sampling to measure average levels of five emotion regulation strategies (situation modification, distraction, rumination, reappraisal and social sharing) across 5 days. Emotion regulation strategies are conceptually similar to the coping strategies investigated in the stress and coping literature.…”

Emotional intelligence (EI) is an intriguing and popular area of research, focusing as it does on individual differences in qualities at the intersection of intelligence and emotion. Research to date has focused on three key questions: (a) How to define EI? (b) How to measure EI? and (c) What is EI good for? This review describes the key contributions of Australian researchers to these questions before outlining the current focus and future directions of EI research in Australia. Australian research teams have been instrumental in clarifying the definition of EI, developing innovative measures of EI and examining the life domains EI influences. We suggest that with the contributions of Australian research to the earlier definitional and measurement questions, Australian researchers are now able to address questions about the processes and mechanisms by which EI translates into positive outcomes in diverse life domains.

“…In the last two decades, a significant body of research has documented the predictive validity of EI across a wide array of psychological domains. For instance, EI has been found to predict a set of health-related dimensions and behaviors [2,3], subjective well-being [4], cognitive and affective academic engagement [5], career decision making [6], or social sharing motives [7], among others.…”

Although prior research has extensively examined the association of emotional intelligence (EI) with various job attitudes (e.g., job satisfaction), the empirical and systematic investigation of this link within military institutions has captured considerably less research attention. The present research analyzed the relationship between EI, teamwork communication, and job satisfaction among Spanish military cadets. We tested the potential unique contribution of EI to job satisfaction over and above demographics (i.e., gender and age), proactive personality, and resilience. Moreover, we also examined whether EI indirectly affects job satisfaction via its relationship with teamwork communication. A sample of 363 cadet officers of the Spanish General Military Academy completed questionnaires assessing EI, teamwork communication, proactive personality, resilience, and job satisfaction. Our results revealed that EI exhibited incremental variance in predicting job satisfaction even after accounting for demographics, proactive personality, and resilience. Additionally, we found that the effect of EI on job satisfaction was partially driven by enhanced teamwork communication. This research provides empirical evidence suggesting a pathway (i.e., effective teamwork communication) through which EI helps military cadets to experience higher job satisfaction. Implications for future academic programs including EI and teamwork communication to promote positive job attitudes among military personnel are discussed.
