Abstract
The term emotional intelligence, coined 15 years ago (1), suggests that emotional skills be considered as important as cognitive skillsthough they are qualitatively dissimilar and perhaps require different pedagogical approaches. Mayer, Salovey, and Caruso described emotional intelligence as the ability to perceive and identify emotions, cognitively process emotions and use emotions to improve cognitive processes, and manage ones and others emotions (2). In the 1990s, Daniel Golemans bestseller (3), Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, popularized the term, which the zeitgeist seemed to readily embrace. At least in part, this was due to fascinating advances in affective neuroscience that probed the neurobiological basis for everyday emotions. For instance, studies of various brain structures have shed light on different affective states: the amygdala on conditioned fear, the accumbens on craving for substances of abuse, and cortical-striatal-thalamic circuits on obsessive thoughts. Brain imaging technologies have allowed one to see activation of specific brain areas while a subject experiences sadness and happiness. What was science fiction only a few years ago has come true. While neuroscience has added sophistication and its imprimatur to the study of emotions, much of the emotional intelligence literature has spring-boarded off studies in
