QUARTER 2 - WEEK 2 (NOVEMBER 28 - DECEMBER 2, 2022)

LESSON 9: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

OVERVIEW
You may have heard people mention "IQ" when talking about intellect and how smart someone is.
(For example, "My brother doesn't need to study as much as I do because he has a really high IQ.") IQ stands
for "intellectual quotient." It can help predict how well someone may do academically. IQ is just one measure
of our abilities, though.
There are many other kinds of intelligence in addition to intellect. For example, spatial intelligence is
the ability to think in 3D. Musical intelligence is the ability to recognize rhythm, cadence, and tone. Athletic,
artistic, and mechanical abilities are other types of intelligence.
One important type of intelligence is emotional intelligence.

OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:
● Discuss that understanding the intensity and differentiation of emotions may help in communicating
emotional expressions;
● Explore one’s positive and negative emotions and how one expresses or hides them; and

DISCUSSION
NEUROLOGICAL BASIS OF EMOTIONS
 According to Daniel Goleman, “all emotions are, in essence, impulses to act, the instant plan for
handling life that evolution has instilled in us.” By this, he traces the origins of emotions from human race’s
survival instinct to sense, detect, assess, and act on any threat to its life and survival. This instinct is also
known as the “fight or flight” response that animals and human alike are capable of doing when faced with
danger.

As humans and animals in general have instinctive nature for survival, it is only the human brain that
was gifted with the capacity to process on an intellectual level the emotions being experienced, validating
the reality of the danger, controlling the emotions being experienced, and acting accordingly given several
options to choose from. These parts of the brain that is involved in the creation of emotions are the
following:
1. Amygdala – center of action; emotional sentinel that can take control of our actions; keeps a memory
bank of previous experiences related to emotions
2. Neocortex – assess what to do
3. Frontal lobes – specifically the pre-frontal cortex, controls the emotion

“Emotions, no matter how strong and powerful, can be controlled.”

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Daniel Goleman defines emotional intelligence as “the ability to motivate oneself and persist in the
face of frustrations, to control impulse and delay gratification, to regulate one’s moods and keep distress
from swamping the ability to think, to empathize, and to hope.”

Five Domains of Emotional Intelligence

1. Knowing one’s emotions or self-awareness – An emotion should be recognized and be able to
verbalize it. This is about knowing how we feel and knowing the thought behind it.

“When one recognizes one’s emotion, there is also a desire to get rid of it or get out of the
situation.” 2. Managing emotions – We have little or no control when an emotion occurs and what this
emotion will be, but we have control on how long an emotion will last.

“It is important to recognize an emotion and experience it, but dwelling on it, particularly if it
is negative, is unhealthy.”
 3.

Motivating oneself – Hope is a major indicator of emotional intelligence. It is an element present

when one is fighting some overwhelming anxiety, a defeatist attitude or depression.

“Optimism is a great motivator, and like hope, it provides a person with expectations that things
will turn out better or right, when faced with adversity.”
4. Recognizing emotions in others – Empathy is the capacity to recognize the emotions in other people.
We empathize because of our self-awareness. If we recognize our own emotions and how these
affects us, then it will be easier for us to recognize other people’s emotions as well. An example of
this is the golden rule of doing to others what you want others to do to you. This may be traced to
empathy since this puts the person right inside the shoes of the other.
5. Handling relationships – Emotional Intelligence is evident in the way we manage our relationship with
others.

BENEFITS OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

 Emotional Intelligence is also referred to as Emotional Quotient (EQ), it is believed that it is more
important in achieving success in one’s career or personal life than Intelligence Quotient (IQ). While a high IQ
is not a surefire to one’s success, EQ has been identified as the foundation in developing important skills
necessary for one’s success at work. Emotional Intelligence is important as it directly affects physical and
mental health, work performance, and relationships.

STEPS ON MANAGING YOUR EMOTIONS

1. Noticing and being aware of your emotions: You have to recognize what you feel in a particular
situation or experience.
2. Identify and name what you feel: You may feel angry, disappointed, and even betrayed, these negative
feelings are the reasons that you want space, or that you don’t want to see and talk to the person.
3. Managing your emotions by owning and accepting what you feel: There is nothing wrong when you
feel angry, it is normal and by owning and accepting means you are responsible for your behavior as
a result of the negative actions.
4. Discernment: You don’t just recognize what you feel but also take responsible action or steps to deal
with your feelings. You may not talk for the moment because you are angry but you cannot stay with
that mode forever.
5. Take necessary actions: You should make reflective action regarding your emotions. You must decide
either you are going to terminate the relationship or forgive the person and continue a healthy
relationship with the person. A saying goes “to err is human, to forgive is divine.”

TYPES OF RESPONSES
Whenever we feel different emotions, we also tend to respond in different manners based on how it
affects us. There are times that we overcome it but there are also times where we throw a fit. Take a look at
these different responses:

1. Passive response: A response that is not expressing your own needs and feelings, or expressing them
so weakly that they will not be addressed.
A passive response is not usually in your best interest, because it allows other people to
violate your rights. Yet there are times when being passive is the most appropriate response. It is
important to assess whether a situation is dangerous and choose the response most likely to keep
you safe.
 2.

Aggressive response: A response that is asking for what you want or saying how you feel in a
threatening, sarcastic or humiliating way that may offend the other person(s).
An aggressive response is never in your best interest, because it almost always leads to
increased conflict.
3. Assertive response: A response that is asking for what you want or saying how you feel in an honest
and respectful way that does not infringe on another person's rights or put the individual down. An
assertive response is almost always in your best interest, since it is your best chance of getting what you
want without offending the other person(s). At times, however, being assertive can be inappropriate. If
tempers are high, if people have been using alcohol or other drugs, if people have weapons or if you are
in an unsafe place, being assertive may not be the safest choice.”
