Question No 05
Identify the major concepts and ideas presented in this article: (How are terms defined?
What are the theories, principles, or models used?)

Answer

In this article, Different ideas and concepts are presented which are following

4
Emotion is an outcome of the interaction flanked by the physiological stimulation and evaluation
of the situation. Emotions and moods are a natural part of an individual’s makeup. One cannot
divorce emotions from the workplace because you cannot divorce emotions from people.

EI is characterized by some researchers as an ability, involving the cognitive processing of

emotional information, which is accordingly most appropriately measured by a performance test.

It can be stated that EI is the ability of a person to detect and to handle emotional cues and
information and respond accordingly. The concept of emotional intelligence has inspired
numerous school-based programs of social and emotional learning, as well as management
training programs

Emotional intelligence is expected to be linked to a range of theoretically interesting outcomes.

EI is considered to be a prerequisite for the teachers working as student advisors as they are
required not only to deal with the problems of the student but also to effectively tackle the
emotions of students who are in problems.

Teachers should serve as role models because their effective advisory service helps students to
acquire ways of regulating their emotions. Hence, a strong need is felt for the development of the
emotional and social growth in students, right from the elementary level to the highest echelons
of learning, that is, universities. Understanding, managing, and employing emotions are required
to build up a strong personality.

Personality traits may be, in part, genetically based and fairly stable over time. However, adult
personality is not rigidly determined from birth, and there is room for change.

For the skillful management of emotions, it is required to have an understanding of emotions and
awareness of individual differences.

Research indicates that personality traits have an effect on the development of the emotional
quotient of an individual, and the emotional quotient has an influence on the application and
development of the personality of the individual.

Terms are defined by different researchers revealed that EI is a predictor of the Big Five.
Conscientiousness makes the most contribution in EI whereas neuroticism contributes the least.
Extraversion, openness, and agreeableness also predict emotional intelligence.

Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) and Big Five Inventory (BFI) is 0.77 and 0.72
which shows that the items have high internal consistency and are suitable for the study

My reaction to this article is on some point is acceptable because most the studies were
conducted in which the target population are the students but this research article tries to find out
Personality Traits as Predictor of Emotional Intelligence among the University Teachers as
Advisors. Teachers are also an important part of society.

advisors, and counselors to mold a generation which possesses healthy and enriched personality
traits, a higher level of intelligence, a higher level of emotional intelligence, good coping
abilities, and higher achievement orientation
