Author Description

From Research and Reference Book News "A July 2005 symposium, held in Australia by Swinburne University, brought together Australian and international researchers and practitioners to explore theories, applications, and controversies of emotional intelligence (EI). Papers from the symposium give information on how EI is defined, measured, and applied across many different domains, grounded with emerging data, trends, and debates. The presentations begin by examining the construct validity of EI, then turn to applications of EI in the workplace, clinical psychology, and educational and school settings, and look at EI in cross-cultural studies. The material will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, HR managers, psychologists, and students."
