Emotional Intelligence, Learning Styles and Academic Achievement of Adolescent Students of 10th Grade
Get PDFInterest in emotional intelligence has bloomed over the last few years. That it has become a standard concept in general and applied psychology, as well as in applied business settings, is indubitable. New research in the 90s confirmed that there is an emotional brain: a place called the limbic system where our emotions originate. It is separated from the rational brain (the neocortex) but the two are connected and develop together. This means that our power to reason and our feelings are intended to be used together. Because of the brain’s design, all information goes into our emotional center first and then to our thinking center. Emotions come before thought and behaviour. What scientists discovered is that we need our emotions; our feelings fire up the motor in us that drives energy and creativity. If we block or ignore emotions in the workplace, we stifle motivation.
As a result of these findings, it has become important to understand what we are feeling, what others are feeling, how to manage our own feelings and how to manage relationships with others. This is the core of Emotional Intelligence: a term used to describe the complex ability to regulate our impulses, empathise with others and be resilient in the face of difficulties. Therefore, emotional intelligence is a product of the amount of communication between the rational and emotional centers of the brain. This article will examine the history, data and components of Emotional Intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is a dynamic construction influenced by diverse biological, psychological, and social factors. A good deal of research has been conducted on emotional intelligence and it was found to be appearing as an important factor in the prediction of personal, academic and career success.Studies on emotional intelligence with respect to various psycho-social co-relations have been found in a variety of fields. Empirical studies investigating the relationship of emotional intelligence with numerous psychological and psychosocial factors were reported by several researchers and simultaneously revealing the significance of emotional intelligence and its beneficial aspects with remarkable contribution in the field of interpersonal relationships, success in work and personal life, health psychology, managing occupational stress, academic field, improving personality, enhancing performance and many more positive behaviour pattern.
Emotional Intelligence is as important as intellectual quotient when hiring workers in contemporary organizations. Since deficiencies in interpersonal skills abound in the work environment high levels of emotional intelligence are needed to perform adequately. Leaders need to inculcate emotional intelligence skills into their leadership repertoire in order to lead effectively and successfully. Viewing college students as the future workforce, the impetus of the study was to determine whether a correlation exists in use of emotional intelligence between gender and age among Bermudian and Trinidadian college students. In contemporary organizations, the epitome of leadership is leaders’ ability to discern, adapt, sense, and internalize the underpinnings of environmental culture. The aforementioned qualities are facets of emotional intelligence. The literature underscores the importance of emotional intelligence in cultivating successful leaders and workers in the workplace.
The mind is uniquely and authentically crafted. Human attributes are designed individually and collectively to encompass divergent degrees of learning and processing information. The ideology of learning styles was adapted to incorporate multiple ways of people respond, to think, see, hear, touch, rationalize, and formulate knowledge or learning (Dunn & Dunn, 1993). Learning styles have gained prime importance in our society. For many years, research has paved a path on the subject of learning styles by experts, educators, psychologists, sociologists, universities, public schools,private schools, doctors, and lawyers (Bloom, 1956; Dunn & Dunn, 1993; Gregorc, 1982a; Jung, 1971; Kolb, 1985; Schmeck, 1988). By using evidence from learning styles research, learner`s needs are being met, there is an abundance of literature on this subject readily available, educators are better trained, and numerous strategies and techniques are incorporated in classroom instruction
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
