Its earliest roots can\u003cbr\u003ebe traced back to Darwin’s work on the importance of emotional expression\u003cbr\u003efor survival. In the 1900s, the issue of intelligence was discussed mainly in\u003cbr\u003eterms of cognitive aspects such as memory and problem-solving, although\u003cbr\u003eseveral influential researchers had begun to recognize the importance of noncognitive\u003cbr\u003easpects.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1920, E. L. Thorndike used the term “social intelligence” to describe the\u003cbr\u003eskill of understanding and managing other people.\u003cbr\u003eThe term \"Emotional Intelligence\" is usually attributed to Wayne Payne's\u003cbr\u003e1985 doctoral thesis, A Study of Emotion: Developing Emotional Intelligence,\u003cbr\u003ebut mainstream media interest was really only piqued in 1995 after a Time\u003cbr\u003emagazine article on Daniel Goleman's bestseller, Emotional Intelligence: Why\u003cbr\u003eIt Can Matter More Than IQ.\u003cbr\u003ePeter Salovey and John D. Mayer have been the leading researchers on\u003cbr\u003eemotional intelligence since those days, and they define emotional intelligence\u003cbr\u003eas “the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's\u003cbr\u003eown and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use\u003cbr\u003ethis information to guide one's thinking and actions”.\u003cbr\u003eCurrently there are several different models proposed for the definition of EI,\u003cbr\u003eand researchers still disagree how the term should be used.","brand":"Lou Diamond","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145401876720,"sku":"2940012267344","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012267344_p0.jpg?v=1763554142","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012267344","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
