CHAPTER 8

EMOTIONAL
INTELLIGENCE
emotion {i-ˈmō-shən} n.
a conscious mental reaction (such as anger or fear)
subjectively experienced as strong feeling usually directed
toward a specific object and typically accompanied by
physiological and behavioral changes in the body.
The word emotion was adapted from the French word
‘emouvoir’ in 1978, meaning to move or stir up.

Admittedly, emotion is one of the things that we directly


encounter and yet are difficult to clearly define.
Nonetheless, some of the terms given as the
Synonyms of emotion are feeling, sentiment, reaction,
passion, and sensation.
The psychologist Robert Plutchik created the
Wheel of Emotions which could help us to better
understand the various aspects of emotions:
1. INTENSITY OF EMOTIONS
The strength of emotions vary from mild to intense.
The intensity may also correspond to the degree by which
an emotion affects one’s behaviors.
Plutchik suggested that there are primary bipolar
emotions: joy against sadness; anger against fear;
trust against disgust; and surprise against anticipation.
Word pairings such as fear-terror, sadness-grief, and
anger-rage suggest differences in intensity.
Like the colors of the spectrum, basic emotions can be
expressed at varying intensities and can blend with one
another to produce different emotions.
