- Abstract
- (en) Emotional competence captures interindividual differences in the way people identify, express, understand, regulate, and use their own and others’ emotions. It can be understood as an ability, a personality trait, or a mixed construct, and it significantly predicts health, marital satisfaction, work attitudes, and leadership. In the last decade, intervention programs designed to improve EI have been demonstrated to be effective in improving EI at all stages of life. In this chapter, we review interventions directed both to adults and children. We also present a specific intervention program to improve EI in adults: the EI training used by Nelis et al. (2011) and by Kotsou, Nelis, Grégoire, and Mikolajczak (2011). Finally, we present new research perspectives and questions, providing five recommendations for future research concerning EC trainings.
