According to Goleman (1998), cited by Hidalgo (2011), emotional quotient is the basic requirement for the use of IQ. He argued that if the areas of the brain that feels are damaged, man’s ability to think is diminished. Emotional quotient makes a man aware of his feelings and the feelings of others. It affects empathy, motivation, compassion, and an ability to respond skilfully to pleasure and pain. Spiegel (1999), reported that expressing feeling and emotions could improve health. The cornerstone of emotional health is emotional stability, which describes how well an individual deal with the day-to-day stresses of personal interactions and physical environment. In achieving emotional wellness, it allows an individual to experience life’s ups and down with enthusiasm and grace while maintaining and satisfying …show more content…
Maslow’s accepted hierarchy of needs suggests that the physical, social, and emotional needs of an individual must be first met in order that he can become “self-actualizing”. Consequently, in the field of teaching, one can only become productive, efficient and effective if his basic needs are attained. Another theory that may support this study on the interconnectedness of the different aspects of man is the Alderfer’s ERG theory. In his ERG theory, Alderfer proposed three human needs, which include existence, growth, and relatedness. He explained that the existence refers to the needs satisfied by such factors as food, air and water, pay, and working conditions while growth needs are those that satisfied by an individual making creative or productive contributions. According to Alderfer, relatedness is the need satisfied by meaningful social and interpersonal relationships. Man is basically a social being; thus he needs to interact and build harmonious relationships with other
Hitler managed to captivate and motivate an entire country by using propaganda, the youth, and the power, to make the entire population of germans hate Jews. Hitler succeeded indoctrination of the German people, in many ways: through the Hitler Youth, education, and propaganda. The main form of indoctrination was the Hitler Youth. Hitler was believed that children could be totally indoctrinated in their education.
More then exceeding my expectations, Seussical the Musical opened on Broadway in 2000 and has since been preformed in off-Broadway settings around the country. Intricately weaving The Cat in the Hat with the various chronicles of Horton the elephant such as Horton Hears a Who and Horton Hatches an Egg, this performance exceeded my expectations. Considering it was a dinner theater in Jacksonville, Florida and that the play’s namesake came from a book my parents read to me as a toddler, my expectations were relatively low; however, the performance greatly exceeded my preconceived expectations. From the high quality of the actors to the surprisingly sophisticated plot, this play proved to be a real treat.
The formal mission of Collin County is to deliver services including justice, public safety, infrastructure, and public health as mandated by the State of Texas and to execute other priorities as determined by the Commissioners Court (Collin County). The mission statement is very concise and specific at times by mentioning the main services that are provided, such as justice, public safety, infrastructure, and public health. Length of mission statements can be cumbersome at times to understand because of conflicting views. Collin’s mission provides insight into the purpose that the organization is trying to fulfill and constitutes a great statement. Collin County’s mission statement does not guide particular actions or policies because it
Emotional intelligence plays a very critical role in the overall quality of our personal and professional lives. In fact, many people feel that emotional intelligence (EQ) is more important than one’s intelligence quotient (IQ) when it comes to attaining success in their lives and careers.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Petty, 2004) theory best describes the needs of people to achieve their best through growth, the need to progress; teachers assist with this therefore ensuring the aforementioned are maintained, valued and practiced by all involved, the teacher will be best placed to develop good relationships with learners and colleagues thus encouraging a more relaxed environment enhancing the whole learning experience.
Emotional intelligence or EQ is as important as intellectual intelligence because it helps a person understand themselves emotionally. An emotionally intelligent person can control how they deal with stress, which, consequently helps to become successful in several areas of life, such as work, relationships, and career. EQ helps you become aware of yourself mentally and to understand others socially. It impacts all of your life daily, from getting things done to helping friends and family or yourself emotionally. It also helps with being able to understand others and manipulate them for your gain, to get their trust and friendship to form healthy relationships.
The author states, “Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships” (p. 17). EQ lays the foundation for many skills, such as, time management, communication, assertiveness, customer service, anger management, stress tolerance, and many other aspects of our life each day. Although our emotions will play an eminent role in our daily life, improved EQ skills will teach us to better control our emotions and keep our emotions from controlling our actions or behaviors. Additionally, we will learn how to better interact with others and build better and stronger relationships.
Alderfer explains that as one move up the ladder, the more difficult it becomes to achieve needs at that level. For example, the complexity of satisfying relatedness needs at the work place is intensified by differences of individual needs. This is because people working together at any institution, are at different stages of fulfillment or regression. Some may be aiming at the big shot while others may be striving to achieve existence needs. It is therefore very important for managers to address the three needs so as to alleviate any impending conflict among workers. Some workers may be more inclined to growth needs than existence or relatedness needs; providing a platform for their growth is therefore very necessary to avert depression.
Abraham Maslow suggested that for students to have energy for learning, their basic personal needs must be met.(Jones, V., & Jones L. 2013) Maslow described human needs as ordered in a prepotent hierarchy (McLeod, S. 2007).The hierarchy of human needs model was shown that basic human needs started at the lower level, general needs, and proceeded upward to more complex needs, and can only be fulfilled one level at a time. His hierarchy of needs, which includes several different components on each has been divided in a variety of ways.
In the book Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman, the central thesis that he tries to point out is that emotional intelligence may be more important than I.Q. in determining a person’s well being and success in life. At first I didn’t know what Goleman was talking about when he said emotional intelligence, but after reading the book I have to say that I agree completely with Goleman. One reason for my acceptance of Goleman's theory is that academic intelligence has little to do with emotional life. To me, emotions can be just as intelligent as your I.Q. In this essay I hope to provide sufficient evidence to show why I agree with Goleman’s thesis on emotional intelligence.
A.H. Maslow, a famous social scientist, has given a framework that helps to explain the strength of certain needs. According to him, there seems to a hierarchy into which human needs are arranged as shown in Figure.
Clayton Alderfer proposed the ERG theory of motivation. According to Alderfer, there are three groups of core needs: Existence (basic material existence, safety needs); Relatedness (social and self-esteem needs); and Growth: an intrinsic desire to grow and self-fulfillment. Contrary to Maslow’s theory, he proposed that more than one need may be operative at the same time and if the
Emotional intelligence was described formally by (Salovey & Mayer). They defined it as ‘the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions’. They also provided an initial empirical demonstration of how an aspect of emotional
We are probably all familiar with Abraham Maslow 's Theory of Hierarchical Needs; Psychological Needs, Safety Needs, Belongingness and Love Needs, Esteem Needs, Need to Know and Understand, Aesthetic Needs, and Self-Actualization Needs. And we probably all remember that according to Maslow 's theory, needs that are in the lower hierarchy must be at least partially met before a person will try to satisfy higher-level needs. Although ultimately our goal is to aid students in self-actualizing or becoming "all that one can be," they must first achieve the level of Need to Know and Understand.
Two psychologists, John Mayer and Peter Salovey, first introduced the concept of “emotional intelligence”, or EI, in a journal article in 1990 (Goleman, 2005). It was then popularized in 1995, with the book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman. Goleman posited that EI is as important, if not more important, than IQ in terms of success in academics, business, and interpersonal relationships (2005).
