Four Branch Model of Emotional Intelligence
The Four Branch Model of Emotional Intelligence, developed by John Mayer and Peter Salovey, outlines four key skills: 1. **Perception of Emotion**: Recognizing emotions in oneself and others. 2. **Use of Emotion**: Leveraging emotions to facilitate thinking and problem-solving. 3. **Understanding Emotion**: Comprehending emotional language and the complexities of feelings. 4. **Regulation of Emotion**: Managing and adjusting emotions effectively in oneself and others. Together, these skills help individuals navigate social interactions, make informed decisions, and build meaningful relationships by understanding and managing emotions effectively.
