Hopes for the future: demographic and personal resources associated with self-perceived employability and actual employment among senior year students

Undergraduates approaching completion of their studies may embrace the prospect of entry into the world of work as a challenge or conversely, may view it with trepidation. This study explores three major personal resources that may be associated with how young undergraduates view their future employability: perceived hope, grit and emotional intelligence. Demographics associated in the literature with perceived chance of employment – gender, age and having a learning disability – were also included in the study. The participants were college students in their senior year (n = 584), studying in a variety of undergraduate programmes. Results show that perceived hope and grit were positively associated with perceived employability whereas the relationship with emotional intelligence was more complex. None of the demographics associated with perceived employability.     

Exploring Emotional Intelligence Among Master's‐Level Counseling Trainees

The authors explored the relationship between counseling trainees' emotional intelligence (EI), empathy, stress, distress, and demographics. Results indicated that higher levels of EI were associated with lower stress and distress, higher affective and cognitive empathy, and age. These findings suggest curricular integration of EI and potential utility of EI measures to evaluate students' progress throughout the program.     

I Agree—Well,Mostly!

In this essay, I reply to my five commentators in the October 2017 issue of the Roeper Review to my July 2017 article: “ACCEL: A New Model for Identifying the Gifted.” I respond to each in turn. I end with the question I believe most important for those of us interested in giftedness to confront at the present moment.     

大学生社交焦虑、情绪智力与孤独感的关系研究

为探讨情绪智力、社交焦虑对孤独感的影响,对平顶山市3所高校的410名在校大学生进行了问卷调查,对调查结果进行了回归分析,并采用路径分析的方法解释了变量之间的交互作用。研究结果表明：一般社交焦虑和交流焦虑对孤独感有不同影响,与一般社交焦虑相比,交流焦虑和孤独感的相关度更高,即交流焦虑会带来更高的孤独感。情绪智力与社交焦虑高度相关,会减少社交焦虑所引起的孤独感,对一般社交焦虑影响不大。

谁拥有智力?

传统的智力理论狭窄化甚至曲解了人类智力 ,但概念边界的过度扩展又使得智力概念失去真义。智力是单一的还是由多种能力构成 ?智力是否由遗传决定 ?智力的任何成分是否都可以准确测量 ?这三个尚未解决的问题主导着关于智力问题的讨论。在作者看来 ,这些问题已超出了学术讨论的范畴。     

How emotionally intelligent are pre-service teachers?

Although there is evidence that teacher emotional intelligence is important for pupil adjustment and learning and for teachers in managing the emotional demands of their work, little is known about the levels of emotional skill of teachers and beginning teachers. Using Mayer and Salovey's emotional intelligence (EI) model and the MSCEIT test of EI, this study investigates how emotionally skilled student teachers are (N = 352). Results show lower than average levels of EI among student teachers, but with important differences between students and across emotional skill areas. The implications of the findings for pre-service teacher education are explored.
