(2008) Emotional intelligence: New ability or eclectic traits?

Some individuals have a greater capacity than others to carry out sophisticated information processing about emotions and emotion-relevant stimuli, and to use this information as a guide to thinking and behavior. We have termed this set of abilities emotional intelligence (EI). Since the introduction of the concept, however, a schism has developed in which some researchers focus on EI as a distinct group of mental abilities, and other researchers instead study an eclectic mix of positive traits such as happiness, self-esteem, and optimism. Clarifying what emotional intelligence is and is not can help the field by better distinguishing research that is truly pertinent to emotional intelligence from what is not. Emotional intelligence – conceptualized as an ability – is an important variable both conceptually and empirically, and it shows incremental validity for predicting socially-relevant outcomes.
